I went there with my family, definitely.但是今天我想说说大概五个月前，我表姐的婚礼。当然，我是和我家人一同参加的。3.Specifically, Chinese weddings are quite different from western ones.4.For western countries, they normally hold a wedding in a church, but for Chinese, we always have it in a fancy hotel or a luxury restaurant, and so it’s the same with my cousin’s wedding.在西方国家，他们一般会在教堂里举办婚礼，但是对于中国人来说，我们一般会在一个别致的酒店或者一个豪华的餐厅里举行婚礼，我表姐的婚礼也是这样的。5.Before the ceremony, the groom picked up the bride with a motorcade and then they took some photos in open areas, just on a square in my city. My cousin was extremely beautiful and she was in a pure white wedding dress.
在仪式开始之前，新郎带着（接亲）车队把新娘接走，然后他们在一些公共场所，就在我们城市的一个广场上照了一些照片。我表姐那天穿着一个纯白色的婚纱，特别得漂亮。6.And then, they went to the hotel, where they had the wedding reception. The venue was nicely decorated, and there was a flood of people, perhaps 200.然后，他们去了酒店，在那里他们举行了婚宴。举行婚宴的场地现场装饰得很精致很漂亮，当天有一大批的人参加了婚宴，大概有200人。7.To be honest, the reception was very ceremonious. Firstly, the officiator gave a very brief speech, after that, the new couple exchanged their rings, took vows, and followed by a toast from the guests to the bride and groom.说实话，整场婚宴是非常讲究仪式的。首先，司仪做了一个极其剪短的演讲，在那之后，新人交换了戒指，许下了誓言，随后宾客们向新郎新娘举杯敬酒。8.Undoubtedly, everyone there was in high spirits, chatting and laughing all day long.毋庸置疑地，每个人的情绪都很高涨，一整天都在畅聊，伴随着欢笑声。9.The couple, obviously loved each other so much. They even couldn’t take their eyes off each other during the whole evening.这对新人，显然是深爱着对方的。在整个晚上，他们甚至目光都无法离开对方。10.It was a wonderful wedding as I’ve witnessed my cousin’s important day. It was really a once-in-a-lifetime experience for her.这真是一场完美的婚礼因为我见证了我表姐重要的一天。对于她来说，这是一个”一生仅有一次的”经历。- get hitched 是一种非正式用法，在口语中比较地道，表示get married
- roughly 这个副词表示大概，大致，相当于about或者是approximately，当然我们还有另外一种用法，在句首，可以经常这么说: Roughly speaking，….
- nicely decorated 表示现场的装饰很精致，很漂亮，同时我们也可以替换nicely这个词，比如wonderfully或者是perfectly
- ceremonious是名词ceremony的形容词形式，表示很有仪式感
- be in high spirits是口语中的一个地道表达，表示大家情绪很高涨，也可以用in a good mood来替换
- couldn’t take their eyes off each other 表示目光都无法离开对方
once-in-a-lifetime experience 表示”一生仅有一次的”经历,这类表达我们之前也进行过介绍，比如one-in-all devices表示集多功能为一体的设备
