 瑞典推出“免下車婚禮”
[ 2008-06-30 09:49 ]
瑞典教堂將于下月推出“免下車婚禮”，整場婚禮在汽車拉力賽上舉行，僅持續7分鐘。已經有37對新潮準夫妻提交了申請，準備在瑞典的韋斯特羅斯市，由汽車愛好者來共同見證這神圣時刻。
請看外電的報道：
The Church of Sweden will carry out drive-in weddings lasting about seven minutes at a car rally next month in a bid to make marriage more accessible, it said on Thursday.
本周四，瑞典教堂表示其將于下月推出一場僅持續7分鐘的“免下車婚禮”，整場婚禮將會在汽車拉力賽上舉行。
上述報道中，drive-in wedding就是“免下車婚禮”，drive-in的意思是of or being a motion-picture theater, refreshment stand, bank, or other public facility designed to accommodate patrons in their automobiles，即“免于下車的（餐館、銀行等公共設施）”，比如：drive-in restaurant（免下車餐館），drive-in teller machine（免下車柜員機），drive-in theatre（免下車劇院）等。現在，有很多快餐店都開了drive-through以吸引更多的顧客，a drive-through, or drive-thru (also called a drive-in), is a business that serves customers who pull up in their vehicles. Orders are taken, and goods or services are provided using a window or microphone, while the customers remain in their vehicles，這樣的店都被翻譯為“得來速”，感覺挺貼切哦。
