Benedict Cumberbatch goes old-school with engagement
“卷福”登报宣布订婚 粉丝心碎
If you're going to break hearts, at least be classy about it.
如果你要心碎，至少优雅一些。
Yes, "Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged to director and actress Sophie Hunter -- cue the crying emojis from some fans on Twitter -- but the actor revealed the news in a refreshingly humble way.
在英剧《神探夏洛克》中饰演夏洛克一角的“卷福”——本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇（Benedict Cumberbatch）与知名导演、演员苏菲·亨特（Sophie Hunter）订婚。该消息也侧面从推特（Twitter苏州工资）上大量粉丝的哭泣emoji表情中得到了印证。然而，此次“卷福”公布婚讯的方式十分低调，颇令人耳目一新。
Instead of releasing a statement through an army of publicists or posting a photo of engage
ment rings on Instagram, Cumberbatch went old-school and posted an engagement notice in the Wednesday edition of UK paper The Times.
没有召开发布会，也没有在Instagram（Facebook旗下的图片分享应用）上晒婚戒照片，“卷福”选择了一种非常传统的方式将喜事昭告天下，他在周三版《泰晤士报》（The Times）上刊出了自己的订婚启事。
The six-line notice under "forthcoming marriages" is so straightforward, it would be easy to read past it before realizing that it's taking about THE Benedict Cumberbatch: "The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London, and Sophie, daughter of Katharine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London."
“婚讯”标题下只有六行字的订婚启事言简意赅，甚至在你还没意识到这是本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇的婚讯时你就读完了：“伦敦旺达·康伯巴奇（Wanda Cumberbatch）与蒂莫西·康伯巴奇（Timothy Cumberbatch）之子本尼迪克特，与爱丁堡凯瑟琳·亨特（Katharine Hunter）与伦敦查尔斯·亨特（Charles Hunter）之女苏菲宣布订婚。” 没有大张旗鼓的宣
传，对于38岁的本尼迪克特和36岁的苏菲来说并不稀奇，就像他们始终对恋情保持低调。直到今年的法国网球公开赛（the French Open）期间，两人才第一次在公开场合共同出现，不过他们的初识却是在2009年两人合作的电影《滑稽戏童话》中。
The lack of fanfare isn't unusual for Cumberbatch, 38, and Hunter, 36, as they've kept their romance under the radar. The couple, who met on the t of the 2009 movie "Burlesque Fairytales," weren't en together publicly until the French Open this year.
然而，对于一些粉丝来说，“卷福”的婚讯却十分难以接受。随着在电影《为奴十二年》（12 Years a Slave）和《星际迷航：暗黑无界》（Star Trek Into Darkness）中的精彩表现，“卷福”俨然已成为全球影迷心目中的大众情人。
Still, the news of a Cumberbatch wedding is a tough pill to swallow for some admirers. As his star ro with roles in "12 Years a Slave" and "Star Trek Into Darkness," the charming actor has become an international heartthrob.宁乡景点
可以预见到，推特上已经变成了粉丝们的“哀悼场”。
Twitter has (predictably) gone into mourning:
一位粉丝就发表推文说道：“先是乔治·克鲁尼（George Clooney)天天洗头好吗，然后又是卷福。这个世界真的太残忍了。”
"First George (Clooney). Now Benedict," tweeted one fan. "It's a cruel, "
