Britain’s royal wedding invitations have all been printed and sent,a young girl who survived a horrific suicide attack last year is among the lucky ones who received a personal invitation.I was speechless, I don’t know what to say, I was speechless.At first, the 12-year-old Amelia thought it was a joke.I was just like it’s super messing with me but then like as we got into further detail we was like this is genuine.
英国皇室的婚礼请柬都已印好并寄出。去年,一名在一次可怕的自杀袭击中幸存下来年轻女孩,幸运地收到了一份私人请柬。我目瞪口呆了,我不知道该说什么,我真的目瞪口呆了。一开始,12岁的艾米丽亚认为这是个玩笑。我觉得开这个玩笑的人太过了,但当我深入了解细节的时候,我才发现,哦,这是真的。
Amelia’s mother Elisa Newton had planned it out months ago. I nominated Amelia few months ago with my sister and then got an email on Thursday night and it was quite late and I was absolutely I just can’t believe it.I then gave Amelia the phone and she had no idea until that point.
阿米莉亚的母亲伊莉莎·牛顿几个月前就计划好了。我在几个月前和我姐姐一起提名了阿米莉亚,然后在周四晚上收到了一封邮件,这封邮件来的真的挺晚的,我简直不能相信。然后我给艾米莉亚打电话,她直到那一刻才知道。
The excitement started in November after Prince Harry and American TV star Meghan Markle flashed an engagement ring and posed for the media at Sunken Garden, the prince’s official residence in Kensington Palace.In contrast, Newton says it’s been a difficult time for her daughter ever since the Manchester attack.She’s been through a lot, she has to overcome it a rough couple of years.
去年11月,哈里王子和美国电视明星梅根·马克尔在肯辛顿宫的王子官邸“下沉花园”秀了一下订婚戒指,并为媒体摆拍。与此相反,阿米莉亚的母亲牛顿说,自从曼彻斯特遭到袭击以来,她的女儿一直都很难过。她经历了很多,她必须克服这艰难的几年。
Last May the country paid tribute to the victims and survivors of the suicide bombing that killed 22 people during a concert at the Manchester Arena by American singer Ariana Grande.But now almost year later Amelia has something exciting to look forward to when she becomes one of the guest fortunate enough to witness the historic marriage of a prince and a princess at Windsor Castle next month.
去年5月,美国歌手爱莉安娜·格兰德在曼彻斯特体育馆举行的一场音乐会中,一场自杀式炸弹袭击造成22人死亡,该国向受害者和幸存者表示深切同情。但现在,几乎一年后,阿米莉亚有了一件令人兴奋的事情,下个月在温莎城堡,她将成为见证一位王子和一位公主历史性婚姻的一位幸运的客人。
