McDonald's restaurants in Hong Kong have launched a "McWeddings" service, Reuters reports. 据路透社报道,香港的麦当劳餐厅推出“麦克婚礼”服务。 
The "warm and sweet wedding package”, at US$1282, includes wedding gifts and pink invitation cards emblazoned with golden arches. Extras include a "white balloon" gown rental (US$165), balloon corsage (US$11), a balloon wedding cake (US$88), and a pink McDonalds backdrop (US$321). 这个“温馨甜蜜的婚礼套餐”价值1282美元,包括婚庆礼品和印有金色拱门的邀请卡。附加品有“白气球”婚纱租赁(165美元)、气球花饰(11美元)、气球婚礼蛋糕(88美元)和一个粉色麦当劳影壁(321美元)。
With two wedding parties confirmed for this year and around 70 other couples in talks, the American fast food giant is hoping the new service will take off at a time of economic uncertainty, as traditional Chinese weddings and banquets often impose a huge financial burden on young couples. 今年已有两个婚礼集会确定在麦当劳举行,另有70对新人还在洽谈中。美国快餐巨头希望此项服务能在这个经济不景气的时期发展起来,因为中国传统的婚庆和婚宴给年轻的新人们带来巨大的经济压力。
