台湾巨星周杰伦的婚礼降至，有报道称，日前他在伦敦向他的华裔澳籍模特女友昆凌求婚成功。

After revealing more details about his upcoming wedding, Taiwanese super star Jay Chou has reportedly proposed successfully to his Taiwanese-Australian model girlfriend, Hannah Quinlivan, in London just recently.

根据媒体报道，虽然周杰伦和昆凌之间已经商定他们的结婚计划并且即将到欧洲拍摄婚纱照，但是周杰伦向模特女友求婚却是刚刚发生的事情。

According to media reports, although Chou and Quinlivan have already gone through the process of discussing their wedding plans and even going for a wedding photo shoot in Europe, it has only been recently that the former has properly asked the model's hand for marriage.

（上面这句话中，although 这个词表示转折，在这里起到了先抑后扬的作用，吸引别人去听你说后面的内容。）

内部消息称周杰伦结束香港演唱会后，就携伴侣飞往伦敦度假。据目击者称周杰伦在当地买婚戒，并试穿国际著名设计师Alexander McQueen设计的礼服。

Insider sources claim that after his concert tour in Hong Kong, the celebrity couple immediately made their way to London for a short vacation. Chou is said to have been seen wearing a tuxedo, which was designed by renowned international designer Alexander McQueen after allegedly purchasing a wedding ring.

有粉丝目击这对情侣出现在海德公园的“冬日乐园”。更有甚者，他们称周杰伦在著名摩天轮——伦敦眼上向昆凌求婚。

While on a night out together, fans were said to have spotted the couple at the Winter Wonderland at the famous Hyde Park. Furthermore, they have claimed that while at the London Eye, the famous ferris wheel, Chou allegedly proposed to Quinlivan.

另一方面，有线索表明周杰伦是在12月8日海德公园求婚，并非伦敦眼。由于海德公园也有一个摩天轮，因此粉丝也不确定究竟哪里才是周杰伦求婚的真正地点。

On the other hand, another source made claims that the singer-actor made his proposal at Hyde Park last December 8 and not at the London Eye. The same source claimed that the fans had been confused about the real location of Chou's proposal since there is also a ferris wheel at Hyde Park.

绯闻男女主角都没有对这个传闻发表过评论。

Neither Quinlivan nor Chou stepped forward to make comments about the rumors.

反而台湾艺人，同时也是周杰伦的好友——杨丞琳公开表示她向这对新人表示了祝福。她表示，他们能从任何一切体会到幸福。

On the other hand, Taiwanese actress-singer Rainie Yang, who is a good friend of Chou, is said to have offered her blessing to the couple. Yang stated that she is glad for the couple for being able to experience happiness through everything.

“能够收获爱情的胜利是值得庆贺的，我真心替他们感到开心。”杨丞琳说。

"To be able to acquire success in a relationship is worth celebrating. I'm really happy for them," says Yang.

（虽然老师不知道杨丞琳为什么可以跑出来凑热闹，但是上面高亮的两句话都挺适合在婚礼上用来祝福别人的。）

据传闻，婚礼将于明年1月18日在发过巴黎举行，仍未得到当事人的确认。

Rumor also has it that the wedding itself would be held in Paris, France on January 18 next year, but no confirmation has been made yet.
