　　瑞典教堂将于下月推出“免下车婚礼”，整场婚礼在汽车拉力赛上举行，仅持续7分钟。已经有37对新潮准夫妻提交了申请，准备在瑞典的韦斯特罗斯市，由汽车爱好者来共同见证这神圣时刻。
        　　请看外电的报道：
        　　The Church of Sweden will carry out drive-in weddings lasting about seven
minutes at a car rally next month in a bid to make marriage more accessible, it
said on Thursday.
        　　本周四，瑞典教堂表示其将于下月推出一场仅持续7分钟的“免下车婚礼”，整场婚礼将会在汽车拉力赛上举行。
        　　上述报道中，drive-in wedding就是“免下车婚礼”，drive-in的意思是of or being a motion-picture
theater, refreshment stand, bank, or other public facility designed to
accommodate patrons in their automobiles，即“免于下车的(餐馆、银行等公共设施)”，比如：drive-in
restaurant(免下车餐馆)，drive-in teller machine(免下车柜员机)，drive-in
theatre(免下车剧院)等。现在，有很多快餐店都开了drive-through以吸引更多的顾客，a drive-through, or drive-thru
(also called a drive-in), is a business that serves customers who pull up in
their vehicles. Orders are taken, and goods or services are provided using a
window or microphone, while the customers remain in their
vehicles，这样的店都被翻译为“得来速”，感觉挺贴切哦。
