CNN News:英國(guó)皇室迎來(lái)小公主

CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: Hey, everyone. Welcome to a new week and its first edition of CNN STUDENT NEWS. It`s good to see you.

大家好，歡迎收看新一周的CNN學(xué)生新聞，很高興見(jiàn)到大家。

First up, we`re previewing a big election this week in the United Kingdom. It`s set for May 7th. Voters in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will be choosing members of their country`s parliament, which is like the U.S. Congress, except in the U.K., the leader of the party that wins the majority in parliament becomes prime minister.

首先我們提前預(yù)見(jiàn)一下本周英國(guó)的大選。大選將在5月7號(hào)舉行，來(lái)自英格蘭，北愛(ài)爾蘭，蘇格蘭和威爾士的選民將投票選舉出其國(guó)家的議會(huì)成員，就像美國(guó)的國(guó)會(huì)。除了英國(guó)，該政黨在投票中獲得票數(shù)較多的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人當(dāng)選首相。

It`s not the only story making headlines in the U.K. though. Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, welcomed a baby girl on Saturday. The princess` name hasn`t been announced yet. But the role of Britain`s royal family is mostly ceremonial. It does not have lawmaking power, like those running in Thursday`s parliamentary elections.

英國(guó)還不止這一條新聞。威廉王子和凱特周六時(shí)候迎來(lái)了一位小公主。公主的名字還沒(méi)有公布，但是英國(guó)皇室的角色主要是禮儀形式。它沒(méi)有立法權(quán)，就像在周四舉行的議會(huì)選舉。
