准王妃凯特忍痛辞职 专心忙皇室婚礼

　　Mrs Windsor-to-be Kate Middleton has left her job at her family's online party supplies firm to prepare for her wedding to Prince William, a royal aide has confirmed. The future princess quit as Party Pieces' project manager to 'concentrate full-time on preparing to become a member of the royal family,' the spokesman said. She worked as a website designer and photographer for her parents' Party Pieces website.

　　随着威廉与凯特的婚期日益临近，这位老太太伊丽莎白二世的“准孙媳妇”除了应对每天轮番“轰炸”的媒体，还要积极参与婚礼筹备的所有细节，忙得焦头烂额的凯特由于本身已经在父母开办的邮购公司“聚会宝贝”（party pieces）工作，分身乏术的她不得不辞掉自己的“老本行”（邮购公司网站设计师）的工作，投入到“新本行”（王妃）工作中。据悉，凯特本身的工作其实也是一波三折，原本老太太一丽莎白二世“嫌弃”凯特没有一份固定工作，凯特几个月前才正式帮助父母打理家族生意的，谁知道，人算不如天算：凯特的确没想到，当王妃真累，专心当王妃更累！

　　Royal aides confirmed she stepped down on Friday, one saying, 'She has handed over her work to colleagues and is now preparing for her future life.' She is now dividing her time between her parents' home and Prince William's cottage on the island of Anglesey, North Wales, near the Royal Air Force base where the prince works as a search and rescue pilot. The Queen is said to be keen for the couple to stay out of the spotlight for the first two years of their marriage, while William continues his career with the RAF.

　　皇室发言人说：“凯特已经正式辞掉家族企业的工作，全身心投入到婚礼筹备过程中，准备当一名合格的皇室成员！就我所知，她已经把工作转接给同事，所有在工作交接上的事宜已经妥当办理完成。”据悉，凯特目前已经属于“无业”人员，但是她还是十分忙碌。她的“工作”就是娘家和婆婆家两头跑，为了使得家庭成员之间的关系更加和谐，贴心的凯特把她全部的生活时间分成两部分，一部分分给自己的父母，一部分给未来的老公威廉。据透露，女王伊丽莎白二世被问到如何看待威廉与凯特的感情时，她说道：“这对新人现在被狗仔追得连喘气的时间都没有，我要恳请媒体放过他们，给他们在新婚2年中一点隐私的空间！”

　　According to one friend, Kate, who helped organise parties in her former guise, has taken on the role of wedding planner with 'gusto and energy'. The friend, who was quoted in Hello! magazine, said: 'Catherine is a naturally creative individual and has spent her professional life in the creative industries having worked at Jigsaw, then as a website designer, photographer, marketer and events organiser. Skills she has built up in her working life translate naturally to organising a wedding.

　　凯特的闺蜜在hello杂志上大曝凯特筹备婚礼的情况，她说：“凯特天生就是当王妃的料，她毕业后做过网站设计师、摄影师、市场调查员、还有活动策划，这些在凯特生活中拥有过闪光点的职业都会帮助她顺顺利利完成与威廉的婚礼，我觉得她策划和威廉的婚礼根本就是小菜一碟！”
