周二传媒大亨默多克在自己旗下的《泰晤士报》上宣布，与比自己小25岁的美国女演员、前名模杰莉· 霍尔订婚。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Media mogul Rupert Murdoch will marry actress and former supermodel Jerry Hall, the couple announced in British newspaper The Times Tuesday, after a four-month romance.

    The couple got engaged over the weekend in Los Angeles, where they attended the 73rd Golden Globes awards gala.

    Murdoch, the 84-year-old executive chairman of News Corp., which owns The Times, announced the impending nuptials in the Births, Marriages and Deaths section of the newspaper.

    报道中的nuptials是“婚礼”，通常用复数，这个词还可以是形容词，我们常见到的pre-nuptial (婚前协议)是pre-nuptial agreement的简称。例如：

    Their nuptials give them a ready outlet for spending.

    婚礼给了他们一个花钱的地方。
