【政经一日闻】与性别无关的天长地久，纽约率先合法化同性婚姻
The city clerk's office in Manhattan has never seen a day quite like this: Cheers, tears of joy and much festivity and jubilation as same sex couples in New York were able to marry legally for the first time.位于纽约曼哈顿特区的市政厅办公室从来没有如此热闹过：欢笑、眼泪还有庆祝的欢闹声充斥了整个建筑，为了庆祝同性婚姻在纽约第一次受到法律的认可。
Elise Barcolas and her partner Jenna Glazer stood patiently in line, Elise in a magenta satin dress and Jenna in a purple floral print, hoping for a day of double firsts.Elise Barclas和她的伴侣Jenna Glazer在队伍中耐心地等着，Elise穿了一件红色的丝绸长裙而Jenna穿着紫色印花长裙，从今天起她们将会成为合法的伴侣。
Elise's brother Eric and his partner Michael stood right behind them, dressed identically in white linen shirts and wrap-around sunglasses. "We might be the first same sex sibling double wedding in New York state," said Elise excitedly. Elise and Eric's mother, Stella Barcolas, queued for more than three hours to see her children married. "I'm ecstatic," Stella told me, "I wish them the very best, they're wonderful. This doesn't affect anybody else's life, they have the same rights and privileges as other people."Elise的兄长Eric和他自己的伴侣Michael就站在Elise 的后面，他们穿着一模一样的白色亚麻衬衫并带着太阳镜。Elise说：我们很可能就是纽约的第一对都选择了同性婚姻的兄妹了。Elise和Eric的的母亲Stella Barcolas整整排了3个小时的队才看到自己的子女完成婚礼。Stella说：我是比较少见的父母了，我希望我的两个孩子都找到了真正合适的人，他们都很出色。他们的婚姻不会影响到任何人，他们也终于可以享受到合法婚姻的一切应有权利和自由了。
The atmosphere in the queue was celebratory, the mood not affected by the heavy heat of a sultry July Sunday in the city.整个婚礼的气氛是隆重而热闹的，这个氛围丝毫没有被7月闷热的天气所影响。
"Thank you New York" read one placard, "Wedding Belles" read another. Couples clutched their bouquets, and scanned the skies anxiously for signs of rain.在婚礼处，一边的海报上写着“谢谢你，纽约”，另一边则写着“佳偶天成”。新人们一边紧握着手中的花束，一边有些焦虑地望着天空，担心可能会下雨。
Amber Weiss and Sharon Papo dressed as Lady Liberty and Justice, carrying their baby son Skyler."We're just here to celebrate, we're already married and we came here from San Francisco to be part of this."Amber Weiss和Sharon Papo穿成了自由女神和司法女神的样子，带着他们的孩子Skyler来观礼。他们说：我只是来庆祝的，我们已经在一起37年了，我们从旧金山赶来希望能够成为见证人。
Inside, there were shrieks of excitement and rounds of clapping as married couples emerged from the city clerk's chamber. Two newly married women wore matching T-shirts emblazoned with the single word "Wifey".每一对新人从市政厅里出来时都会被兴奋的尖叫和掌声包围。两位新婚女性穿了一模一样的T恤上面印着同一个词“老婆”。
It was a day Raymond Wapner and Peter Courmont, who have been together for 37 years, never thought they would see. They lined up, floral garlands around their necks, wanting to marry and be part of history. Raymond hopes it will not be long before the Federal Government also recognizes same sex marriages.同样的，对于Raymond Wapner和Peter Courmont这对同性伴侣来说，能看到今天也是想都不敢想的。他们加入了队伍，胸前还挂着花环，期望能够成为这历史性一刻的一部分。Raymond希望联邦政府也可以在不久的未来承认同性婚姻的合法性。
（小编批注：美国各州有独立立法权，联邦政府的立法则是全国通用的，现今美国承认同性婚姻的州仅有纽约州）
