英国王储的蜜月之地英语美文
4月9日，英国王储查尔斯与他钟情了30年的卡米拉·帕克·鲍尔斯终于举行了婚礼。与简单的“平民婚礼”相搭配，查尔斯也低调地把他的蜜月地点选在了苏格兰乡间的一座王室别墅里。
Prince Charles" honeymoon with Camilla Parker Bowles will be in a cozy Scottish hunting lodge that previously belonged to his grandmother。 Like the less glamorous Parker Bowles， it appears better suited to his tastes。
据美联社4月9日报道，查尔斯当年举行盛大婚礼迎娶戴安娜后，带着她登上“布里塔尼亚”号皇家游艇，进行了为期3周的地中海蜜月之旅。如今，查尔斯与卡米拉的蜜月将在宁静的苏格兰乡间别墅伯克霍尔度过。在这里，王储夫妇会去钓鱼、散步、身着舒适的便装去享受恬静安逸的乡间生活。
新婚后的查尔斯与卡米拉会在伯克霍尔住上大约一周。此间，他们将首次以夫妻的身份公开出席附近一座儿童运动场的剪彩仪式。当地有居民表示：“很高兴，他们把首次以夫妻身份公开露面的地点选择在这里，这可能是我们多年来热情接待他们的一种回报。”当地居民还指出：“这儿很幽静，他们可以完全放松的生活。这也许是查尔斯和卡米拉喜欢这儿的一个原因。”
这座规模较小、灰白色外墙的'王室别墅伯克霍尔建于18世纪早期。它坐落在距离苏格兰东北部巴尔莫勒尔城堡12英里处的一片小树林中。19世纪，英国女王维多利亚的丈夫、艾伯特亲王购买了它。后来，它成为女王伊丽莎白二世的母亲、伊丽莎白王太后的一处住所。女王伊丽莎白二世与丈夫菲利普亲王也在此地度过了一段蜜月时光。此后，这里常常成为女王的避暑之地。2002年王太后去世后，伯克霍尔留给了查尔斯。
当年，戴安娜与查尔斯结束了地中海的旅行后，也前来此地度过蜜月。但与卡米拉不同的是，已故英国王妃戴安娜似乎对苏格兰乡间生活一直都不太感兴趣。但这里却是查尔斯所钟爱的一个地方。查尔斯曾把伯克霍尔形容为一个“舒适独特的避风港”。当与戴安娜的婚姻出现裂痕后，查尔斯经常独自跑到此地来躲避记者的追踪。近年来，他又常在春季与卡米拉前来享受春光，并经常独自坐在流经伯克霍尔花园中的缪克河边垂钓。
Prince Charles" honeymoon with Camilla Parker Bowles will be in a cozy Scottish hunting lodge that previously belonged to his grandmother。 The trip may lack the glitz of Charles" honeymoon cruise around the Mediterranean with Princess Diana。 But， like the less glamorous Parker Bowles， it appears better suited to his tastes。
While at Birkhall mansion in the Scottish highlands， the newlyweds will be able to engage in their shared love of country pursuits such as fishing， long walks and wearing lots of tweed。
Charles has described the early 18th—century home on the royal Balmoral estate as "a unique haven of cosiness and character。" He is reportedly to fish in the River Muick， which flows at the bottom of Birkhall"s sloping garden。
"One of the reasons I think Charles and Camilla like it here is because it is normally quiet and they can get on with their lives，" local butcher Barry Florence said Friday。
Diana passed some of her honeymoon on the estate， after she and Charles toured the Mediterranean aboard a lavish royal yacht。 But， unlike Parker Bowles， the late princess never developed a passion for the Scottish countryside。
Charles， however， often retreated to Birkhall to escape media scrutiny during the breakdown of his first marriage。 In recent years， he and Parker Bowles have spent much of the spring season there。
They are expected to stay for around a week at Birkhall， but will interrupt their honeymoon to carry out their first official engagement as a married couple by opening a nearby children"s playground。
"It is wonderful that they will be carrying out their first official engagement as a married couple in Ballater，" said pharmacist Derek Mutch。 "It feels like a thank you to the village for the way we have treated and accepted them over the years。"
