娱乐八卦：摇滚天后艾薇儿闪电订婚

歌曲：Avril Lavigne-When You're Gone

Avril Lavigne， the surprising and seemingly sudden relationship of Canadian rockers Avril Lavigne and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger shocked their fans on Tuesday by revealing that they have not only been an item for six months, but that they're actually engaged.

加拿大摇滚明星艾薇儿·拉维妮和五分钱乐队的查德·克罗格已经订婚的消息在周二一经爆出便震惊了他们的粉丝们。有人爆料称二人在6个月以来不仅仅是在约会，而且他们实际上已经订婚了。

While a 10-year age difference separates this unlikely pair, this will in fact be the first-time marriage for 37-year-old groom¹ Chad, while it'll be 27-year-old Avril's second trip down the aisle². Avril was married to another Canadian rock star, Sum 41's Deryck Whibley, from 2006 to 2009.

查德·克罗格与艾薇儿·拉维妮年龄相差10岁，二人似乎是不可思议的一对。但事实上，这是37岁新郎查德·克罗格的第一次婚姻，而27岁的艾薇儿·拉维妮却是第二次走进婚姻殿堂。艾薇儿·拉维妮曾于2006年与另一位加拿大摇滚明星德里克-惠布利结婚，直到2009年，2人正式离婚。

 

According to People, Avril and Chad met in February 2012 to collaborate³ on a track for Avril's forthcoming fifth album, and "a romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together," a source tells the magazine. Chad proposed to the punk-pop princess on August 8, 14-carat diamond ring in hand.

据《人物》周刊消息称，查德与艾薇儿相识于2012年2月，当时两人共同合作创作艾薇儿即将发布的第5张专辑。于是，一段浪漫的爱情便在他们一起创作期间发生了。查德在8月8日手捧14克拉的钻戒向流行朋克公主艾薇儿求婚。

"He makes her so happy," a family friend tells People. "Both of their families could not be more excited." We just wonder if the Kroeger and Lavigne families are as surprised as we are!

一位两个家族共同的朋友说，“他让她过得非常开心，两家人都非常兴奋，我们只是想知道两家人是否也和我们一样惊讶!”
