Within days of the royal wedding on Friday, couples getting married in China were wearing outfits patterned on the clothes worn by Prince William and Kate Middleton. China’s leading business to consumer site, Taobao, reported a roaring trade in orders for copies of the wedding gown and a Prince William-styled groom featured in China Daily, looking in fact more like a member of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
在近日那場英國皇室婚禮之后,一時間,中國喜結良緣的新人爭相效仿威廉王子(Prince William)和凱特?米德爾頓(Kate Middleton)在婚禮儀式上的穿著。中國領先B2C網站淘寶(Taobao)稱,那套婚紗以及《中國日報》(China Daily)上威廉王子照片中新郎禮服的仿制品訂單,多得就像潮水一樣。事實上,那張照片中的威廉王子看起來更像是“佩珀中士的孤獨之心俱樂部樂隊”(Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,譯者注:這是一首歌曲的名字)的一員。
