多谢JK罗琳！邓布利多与甘道夫“结婚”啦！

 　　Two of the most powerful wizards in fiction, Dumbledore from Harry¹ Potter and Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, have got hitched².

　　虚构世界中最强大的两位巫师：《哈利波特》中的邓布利多还有《指环王》三部曲中的甘道夫一直没有勾搭上。

　　Obviously, they’re not real so two actors dressed up as the characters did the deed today in Kansas in a stunt³ staged by LGBTQ rights activist⁴ group Planting Peace.

　　然而在今天，显而易见并不是由两位真正的演员穿着戏服完成的，而是由LGBTQ维权行动组织“播种和平”在堪萨斯州举办这场效果爆好的“勾搭”婚礼，可谓是赚足了风头。

　　A video posted by the organisation⁵ shows the happy couple in front of the wedding officiant saying: ‘In the end we became united in the deep solidarity⁶ to create a piece only known in fiction and bring it into reality in our time.

　　从该组织上传的一视频中我们可以看到，这对快乐的新人站在婚礼司仪前宣誓道，“我们最终深深地结合在一起，这在小说中才有的，我们把它变成现实。”

　　多谢JK罗琳！

　　Aaron Jackson, Planting Peace’s president, told the Huffington Post: ‘We are delighted to be hosting the Dumbledore and Gandalf wedding and stand with them in the face of bigotry⁷ and celebrate equality for all.’

　　“播种和平”组织的主席艾伦·杰克逊告诉《赫芬顿邮报》: “我们很高兴能够主持邓布利多和甘道夫的婚礼，与他们一同面对他人的不解并欢庆人人平等。”

　　The wedding was hosted in their rainbow-coloured headquarters opposite the Westboro Baptist Church, which had threatened to picket⁸ the nuptials⁹ after it was originally suggested by Harry Potter author JK Rowling.

　　婚礼在他们五彩缤纷的总部，即韦斯特博罗浸礼会教堂的对面举行。先前《哈利·波特》作者J.K.罗琳建议举行这个婚礼时，韦斯特博罗浸礼会教堂曾威胁称要阻止婚礼的举行。

　　Just before gay marriage was legalised in Ireland, JK Rowling tweeted that she hoped the two wizards would be able to get married.

　　同性恋婚姻在冰岛合法化之前，J.K.罗琳就发过推文称，她希望邓布利多和甘道夫他们俩能够结婚。

　　Rowling has previously¹⁰ revealed that Dumbledore is gay.

　　罗琳此前曾透露，邓布利多是同性恋。
