【读新闻学英语】娶梅根之前，哈里一通电话让前女友泪流满面

It was a move considered odd by some when Prince Harry invited two ex-girlfriends, Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas, to watch him marry Meghan Markle.

哈里王子邀请了两名前女友Chelsy Davy和Cressida Bonas到现场观礼他与梅根·马克尔的婚礼。这一决定，让某些人觉得颇为奇怪。

move：决定，举动

Davy, who split from Harry in 2010 after dating him on-and-off for several years, inspired memes when she was shown looking visibly uncomfortable during the wedding ceremony.

Davy曾经断断续续地与哈里谈了几年恋爱，直到2010年两人分手。在婚礼仪式上，她的不自在被全世界看在眼里，并成为这些天互联网上的热门梗。

on-and-off：请看下文

meme：模因/迷因。对应“基因”，是文化的遗传单位。比较公认的定义，是“想法、行为或风格从一个人传到另一个人的文化传播过程”。在互联网传播下，可理解为“热梗”。

Now it's been revealed the ex lovers shared a "tearful phone call" in the days leading up to the royal wedding.

现在谜底揭晓了——在皇家婚礼前几天，哈里和Davy这对昔日的恋人在电话里有一番“催人泪下的对话”。

lead up to：在……之前

"It was their final call, a parting call in which they both acknowledged Harry was moving on," a source told Vanity Fair.

“那是他们最后一次通话。在这通告别的对话中，他们都很明白，哈里要继续往前走。”消息人士告诉Vanity Fair。

推特上看热闹怕事不大的吃瓜群众，为Davy配了句台词，注意是虚拟语态噢

"Chelsy was quite emotional about it all, she was in tears and almost didn't go to the wedding."

“Chelsy（Davy）对此非常感伤，以泪洗面，差点就决定不去参加婚礼了。”

in tears：哭泣

Davy and Bonas were not invited to the evening reception at Frogmore House, however.

虽然获邀观礼，但Davy和Bonas都没有被邀请参加晚上在Frogmore House举行的晚宴。

"In the end, she went [to the ceremony] and promised Harry she wouldn't try and gatecrash the party," the insider added.

“最终，她还是去了（婚礼），而且她答应哈里不会硬闯晚上的宴会。”内部消息人士说。

gatecrash：没有获得邀请就进入宴会或聚会现场

Davy, 32, was Harry's first major relationship. The couple were together on and off for several years, from their first meeting in 2004 to when she was a guest at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.

Davy今年32岁，是哈里王子第一段正式感情的女主角。两人从2004年第一次约会开始，分分合合若干年。直到2011年，她还作为客人应邀出席威廉王子和凯特王妃的那次皇室大婚。

on-and-off：断断续续

Davy has previously spoken about struggling with the spotlight while she dated Harry.

约会哈里王子意味着被放在聚光灯下审视。对此，Davy曾经表示这样的生活过得很挣扎。

struggle with：苦苦挣扎

"It was so full-on: crazy and scary and uncomfortable. I found it very difficult when it was bad. I couldn't cope," she said, according to Daily Mail.

“那真是绷得非常紧（的生活）：疯狂，提心吊胆，又很不自在。当我觉得那感觉不好的时候，日子真是过得很艰难。我完全扛不住。”她曾经这么对《每日邮报》描述。

full-on：形容词，用于修饰非常紧张或极致的状态

"I was trying to be a normal kid and it was horrible."

“我只想做个正常的孩子，那真是太可怕了。”
