YouTube將現場直播威廉王子大婚盛況

　　The wedding will be broadcast live on YouTube as part of an operation to make it the most accessible royal event in history. Live updates and unique material will also be released on the official royal wedding website, through the British Monarchy’s picture-sharing Flickr account, Twitter and Facebook. For the first time, broadcast footage of a royal wedding will be streamed in real time on The Royal Channel accompanied by a live multi-media blog put together by St James’s Palace.
　　距離威廉王子與凱特在英國威斯敏斯特大教堂的婚禮可謂是“指日可待”了，而被批準進去大教堂進行報道的媒體還未正式公布，在全球新聞從業(yè)者都“虎視眈眈”緊盯著這塊“大肥肉”的時候，婚禮方面又放出風聲：威廉與凱特的婚禮將在You Tube網上進行網上直播，這將是英國皇室在歷史上第一次借用網絡直播婚禮進行與老百姓拉近距離的嘗試。

　　Viewers will be able to click to get more information about points of interest along the processional route, for example, or see additional photographs of the happy couple. Members of the public will also have the chance to upload their videoed messages of congratulations on an official ‘wedding book’, also on YouTube, which will be shown to the couple.

　　據悉，登陸網站的網民可以點擊威廉與凱特婚禮的即時圖片來獲取信息，或者有機會下載婚禮的視頻來一睹這對甜蜜新人的風采。

　　A spokesman said the site would be subject to moderation, but joked that he hoped ‘the majority of messages would be sent in good faith’. ‘Online access to the wedding is a really important component of our service,’ said an aide. ‘

　　網站的發(fā)言人說：“威廉婚禮的網上直播還是想拉近皇室與平民之間的關系，一切都以溫和的報道方式出發(fā)，力圖能取得大多數民眾對威廉與凱特婚禮的祝福，我們不奢望太多，部分人持有反對觀點是可以理解的。”婚禮的負責人說：“婚禮進行網絡直播是我們這次婚禮重要的組成部分。”
