DuringBoris's time away from home, Stalin exiled Anna and her family to Siberia, and Anna couldn'teven leave word for her husband. Boris spent years looking for her. The two shared ahometown, but Anna was barred from visiting it, so the two completely lost contact.Anna wasso distraught that she seriously contemplated suicide. Her mother then destroyed allmementos of Boris and Anna's life together, including wedding photographs and letters. Sheeventually remarried. Boris, unbeknownst to her, did the same.

　　安娜·科茲洛夫(Anna Kozlov)才新婚三天就要和她的丈夫鮑里斯( Boris)分別。他離開去參加蘇聯(lián)紅軍而她會(huì)等待他歸來——至少當(dāng)時(shí)他們是那么想的。在鮑里斯離家期間，斯大林把安娜和她的家人流放到了西伯利亞，而安娜甚至不能給他留下一句話。鮑里斯找了她很多年。他們擁有同一個(gè)故鄉(xiāng)但是安娜被禁止拜訪，所以兩個(gè)人失去了聯(lián)系。安娜悲痛欲絕企圖想要自殺。之后安娜的母親燒毀了鮑里斯和她在一起的所有紀(jì)念品，包括他們的結(jié)婚照和情書。最后她再婚了。她不知道鮑里斯也再婚了。

　　8.The Notebook In Real Life

　　8.現(xiàn)實(shí)版的"戀戀筆記本"

　　The Notebook famously tells of a woman who suffers from dementia and her husband whoreads their story to her to remind her of her life. The movie is based on a fictional romancenovel, but it didn't have to be. Jack and Phyllis Potter are the real life British version—in his early90s, Jack Potter refuses to let the love of his life slip away into the solitude of dementia.

　　《戀戀筆記本》極好地講述了一個(gè)丈夫每天讀故事給老年癡呆的妻子從而喚醒她的回憶的故事。這部電影是根據(jù)一本虛構(gòu)的浪漫小說拍攝的，實(shí)際上根本不需要虛構(gòu)，因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)實(shí)中就有這樣的故事。杰克(Jack)和菲利斯·波特(Phyllis Potter)是現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中英國版"戀戀筆記本"。–在他九十出頭的時(shí)候，杰克·波特不想讓他的愛人在老年癡呆的孤獨(dú)里虛度光陰。

　　Jack started keeping a journal when he was a child, and he kept up the practice his entire life.When Jack met Phyllis on October 4, 1941, the pages of his diary captured their romance. Jackliked Phyllis from the moment he met her, describing in his diary, "Very nice evening. Dancedwith [a] very nice girl. Hope I meet her again." A mere 16 months after that first encounter,the two were married. They lived in Kent, England for over half a century. Eventually Phyllis'sdementia took a deep hold on her life and it was too much for Jack to handle on his own. Shehad to move into a nursing home.

　　當(dāng)他還是小孩的時(shí)候他就有寫日記的習(xí)慣并且他一生都保持著這種習(xí)慣。當(dāng)1941年十月杰克跟菲利斯相遇的時(shí)候，日記本里就記錄下了他們的浪漫情緣。杰克在和菲利斯相遇的那一刻就愛上了她，日記本中這樣描繪道："多美好的一個(gè)晚上啊，和一個(gè)非常好的姑娘跳了舞。希望我能再次遇見她。"離他們第一次見面僅僅才16個(gè)月，他們倆就結(jié)婚了。他們?cè)谟⒏裉m的肯特郡度過了大半生。最后菲利斯的老年癡呆嚴(yán)重影響了她的正常生活，杰克已經(jīng)不能獨(dú)自應(yīng)付，她不得不被送到私人療養(yǎng)院。

　　That didn't deter Jack. He visits her every day. And every day, he reads to her from his diaries.He reminds her of their family and pets with photographs. Through everything, Phyllis hasn'tforgotten how much she loves Jack. She's always overjoyed when he arrives to see her. Thetwo have now been married for 70 years.

　　這并不能阻止杰克。他每天都去看她。他念日記給她聽。他讓她想起了他們的家還有照片里的寵物。滄海桑田后，菲利斯還是沒有忘記她和杰克之間刻骨銘心的愛戀。當(dāng)他來看她時(shí)，她就會(huì)迸發(fā)出異樣的神采。到目前為止他們已經(jīng)結(jié)婚70年了。

　　當(dāng)卡羅爾·哈里斯(Carol Harris)在三年級(jí)的戲劇表演里扮演睡美人的時(shí)候，和她一起主演的喬治·雷恩斯(George Raynes)就吻了她。喬治扮演王子，那是他的初吻。

　　George moved from Saint John, New Brunswick to Toronto, Ontario after high school, where hegot married and raised a family. Decades passed, and 61 years later, he lost his wife.
