英国国王查尔斯三世和王后卡米拉周四在卡迪夫正式开启威尔士议会(Senedd)第七届会期。
Britain’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Thursday officially opened the seventh term of the Welsh parliament, the Senedd, in Cardiff.
这是国王自即位以来首次参加该仪式,他在Senedd开幕时表示,自己“有幸且自豪”能与威尔士保持特殊联系。
The king took part in the ceremony for the first time since becoming monarch, saying he was “privileged and proud” to have a special connection with Wales at the opening of the Senedd.
这也是自民族主义政党威尔士党(Plaid Cymru)成为威尔士最大党并接管政府运营以来,Senedd首次开启新会期。
It was also the first opening of a Senedd term since nationalist Plaid Cymru became Wales’ largest party and took over the running of the government.
今年早些时候,威尔士党在Senedd选举中取得压倒性胜利,结束了工党长达一个世纪在威尔士作为最大党的地位。
Earlier this year, Plaid Cymru secured a landslide victory in the Senedd election, ending Labour’s century-long position as Wales’ largest party.
与此同时,当皇家汽车抵达时,现场曾响起“我的国王不是他”的喊声,警方逮捕了一名抗议者,这一消息由威尔士在线(Wales Online)报道。
Meanwhile, chants of “not my King” were heard as the royal car arrived, and police arrested one protester, Wales Online reported.
据BBC报道,国王在致辞中谈到了“至关重要”的耐力作用,提及今年夏季的热浪,并表达了对“快速变化的星球”的“深切关切”。
According to the BBC, the king spoke in his address about the “vital” role of endurance, referring to the summer heatwaves and expressing his “deep concern” for a “rapidly changing planet.”
