威尔士亲王和威尔士王妃正在进行他们第七次联合访问北爱尔兰。威廉和凯瑟琳的第一站是贝尔法斯特奥莫路的一座前教堂——The Commons，该教堂已被改造成社区中心。
The Prince and Princess of Wales have been making their seventh joint visit to Northern Ireland. First stop for William and Catherine was a former church on Belfast's Ormeau Road, The Commons, which has been transformed into a community centre.
皇室夫妇在此会见了参与新就业机会网络（NEON）的雇主、前线组织和年轻人。
The royal couple met employers, frontline organisations and young people involved in the New Employment Opportunities Network (NEON).
该倡议由威廉王子的“Homewards”计划下的皇家基金会发起，旨在努力结束无家可归现象。
The initiative was launched by the Royal Foundation under William's Homewards programme, which works to try to end homelessness.
NEON通过就业和支持网络，帮助面临无家可归风险的年轻人克服障碍。

The Prince and Princess of Wales were greeted on Friday by Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly, Belfast mayor Róis-Máire Donnelly and south Belfast MP Claire Hanna.
在雨中握手时，利特-彭格利向威廉亲王开玩笑说，天气“没在配合”。
Shaking hands in the rain, Little-Pengelly joked to Prince William that the weather "wasn't playing ball".
他们还会见了The Commons的董事大卫和吉尔·海因斯，随后参观了这座经过翻新的教堂建筑。
They also spoke to David and Jill Hines, who are directors of The Commons, before being taken on a tour of the regenerated church building.
建筑内部设有多个当地手工艺小组，包括Flourish和Sew-cial Circle。夫妇离开时，数百名在雨中等待的人们向他们致意。
A number of local craft groups were set up inside, including Flourish and Sew-cial Circle. As the couple left, they were greeted by hundreds who had waited in the rain outside.
威廉和凯瑟琳与人群握手并合影留念，威廉还给其中一名等待者的母亲打了FaceTime视频通话。随后，皇室夫妇前往贝尔法斯特郊外的宜家商店。
William and Catherine shook hands and took selfies with the crowd, with William making a FaceTime call to the mother of one of those waiting. The royal couple then visited the Ikea store on the outskirts of Belfast.
抵达时，他们受到商店经理米凯拉·奎兰和运营经理伊恩·马吉尔的迎接。

The store remained open throughout the afternoon visit with arriving shoppers surprised to see the large security operation around the store – and then the royal couple inside.
来自霍利伍德萨利文上学校的部分青少年也在震惊的人群中，他们看到王位继承人及其妻子在建筑内漫步。
Teenagers from nearby Sullivan Upper School in Holywood were among those shocked to see the heir to the throne and his wife strolling through the building.
其中一些青少年后来在顾客餐厅被威廉和凯特接待，因为两人短暂帮忙在收银台工作。
Some of them were later served in the customer restaurant by William and Kate as they helped out briefly at the tills.
威廉和凯特在为期50分钟的行程中，由员工绍姆斯·麦克布雷蒂和索菲·拉塞尔在收银台协助。

他们还会见了包括视光宝、B&Q和豪登在内的企业代表，这些企业已承诺加入NEON计划。
They also met representatives from businesses including Specsavers, B&Q and Howdens, who have committed to joining NEON.
该计划建立在这样一个原则上：当年轻人获得机会和归属感时，他们更有可能建立稳定而充实的职业生涯。
The programme is built on the principle that when young people have access to opportunities and a sense of belonging, they are more likely to build stable and fulfilling careers.
王室夫妇上次访问北爱尔兰是在一年前，当时他们参观了库克镇的一所消防员培训学院。

They also visited a youth charity in the city, before having lunch with the then Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson at Hillsborough Castle.
