　　Virgin Atlantic said figures for the royal wedding week showed a huge increase in traffic from America.

　　美国维尔金大西洋航空公司表示，皇室婚礼周时，由美国飞来的航班数有非常大的增幅。

　　But a company spokesman stopped short of attributing it solely to William and

　　Kate's nuptials.He said of flights entering London from Monday April 25: 'We are seeing an increase in inbound bookings but it is difficult to attribute this to the royal wedding alone.'LA inbound is up 40 per cent and New York City is up 13 per cent but this could be due to a number of reasons - the Easter school holidays, our annual year-on-year growth strategy etc.

　　不过，据这家航空公司的发言人的理解，将该增幅完并非完全归功于威廉和凯特。他说：“订票率的确有很大的提升，除了皇家婚礼以外，还有其他的原因，比如说复活节学校放假，这是我们每年的增长点之一。”
