文莱王子超奢华大婚：新浪珠宝满身

The son of the Sultan of Brunei, one of the world's richest men, has wed bride Dayangku Raabi'atul 'Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji Bolkiah in a spectacular ceremony at the monarch's 1,788-room palace in Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan.

近日在文莱首都斯里巴加湾市，世界上最富有的人之一——文莱苏丹之子在其父那座拥有1788间客房的宫殿里举行了一场盛大的仪式，迎娶了新娘拉比阿图艾达威雅。

spectacular adj.壮观的，惊人的；公开展示的。这个单词的拆分是specta+cul+ar，spect-表观看、观察，cul指小，而后缀-ar的作用同national这样单词中的-al，表与...相关的。为啥不是-al呢？这是因为-cul-这个部分已经有-l-音存在了，本应该有的-al被同化成了-ar。再如solar太阳的和lunar月亮的等。

Prince Abdul Malik, 31, exchanged vows with Dayangku Raabi'atul 'Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji Bolkiah, 22, in front of crowds of friends and family, nobility and foreign dignitaries amid mind-boggling splendour.

31岁的阿都马力·马利克王子与22岁的拉比阿图艾达威雅在亲朋好友、文莱贵族和外国政要的见证下，于金碧辉煌的宫殿中互相交换誓词。

这对新人所着的配套金色礼服都饰有钻石，而脸颊红红的新娘手持一束炫彩夺目的宝石代替花束。

The Prince is the youngest child of the Sultan, Hassanal Bolkiah, and his wife, Queen Saleha, and is second in the line of succession to become the next Sultan of Brunei.

阿都马力王子是文莱苏丹哈桑纳尔·博尔基亚与他的妻子——王后萨拉赫所生的最年幼的儿子，他在下一届文莱苏丹继承人顺序中排名第二。

Today's 'bersanding' or enthronement ceremony is usually the highlight of the wedding festivities, and saw the bride and groom seated next to each other, dressed in opulent traditional attire on gilded thrones in the Throne Chamber of the Istana Nural Iman palace.

如今，公开宴请宾客的典礼或是坐床仪式往往是结婚庆典中的亮点。在努鲁伊曼王宫大殿里，新郎新娘身着奢华传统服装，彼此相邻，坐在镀金宝座上。

22岁的新娘是一名系统数据分析师和IT指导师。在婚礼上她佩戴着镶有六颗泪滴状祖母绿的钻石头冠，奢华到令人惊叹。
