Prince William's bride-to-beKate Middleton, whose sartorialstyle will be closely scrutinized by fashionistas once she's officially a princess, is already getting credit for bringing one style stateside-- the precariously-perched feathered "fascinator."

　　英國準王妃凱特 米德爾頓正式“轉正”后，她的服飾品味當然會受到時尚人士的挑剔，而她掀起的“頭飾風”現在就已風靡美國，并且廣受好評。這一新潮流的標志就是看上去甚至有些遙遙欲墜的羽毛“頭巾”。

　　The fascinator is a particularly ornate hair accessory that can feature feathers, beads, flowers and other fancy trimmings.

　　這款“頭巾”是一種非常華麗的發飾，上面可以插羽毛、珠子、花朵、以及其它的別致裝飾。

　　Kate seems to favor the feathered variety and has been photographed wearing a variety of them.

　　凱特看上去十分鐘愛這款羽毛頭飾，多次被拍到佩戴不同款式。

　　Fascination over the Fascinator is growing in the United States, with Google searches up 50% for this style of hat since January.

　　美國民眾對這款羽毛頭飾也十分著迷。自今年1月始，谷歌搜索中對這款帽子的搜索量上升了50%。

　　Fascinator sales have soared recently at Cedar Park, Texas-based Serendipity Tiaras, an online seller and supplier of bridal accessories such as veils, broaches, tiarasand fascinators to bridal boutiques.

　　在得克薩斯州錫達帕克“珍奇頭飾”公司，這款羽毛頭飾的銷量近期大漲。“珍奇頭飾”公司是一家網絡銷售商，提供面紗、胸針、王冠式頭飾、頭巾、婚禮飾品等結婚用品。

　　In the United States, brides tend to prefer headbands, veils and tiaras. So Lyons was surprised with the jump in fascinator orders just as the summer wedding season gets underway.

　　在美國，新娘喜歡佩戴發帶、面紗、和王冠式頭飾。因此里昂對羽毛帽的銷量大增感到非常吃驚，尤其是現在夏季的結婚季快到了。

　"Orders are coming in for all kinds of feathered fascinators. Customers also want fascinators with a small spray of flowers, tulle or with a hat," she said.

　　她說：“各種羽毛頭飾的訂單都不少。有些客戶還要求在上面插一束花、系上薄紗、或者制作羽毛帽?！?/FONT>
