I am really sure that many people know about the book,84 Charing Cross Road, because of the film Finding Mr. Right acted by Tangwei and Wu xiubo.
很多人知道《查令十字街84号》这本书都是因为汤唯和吴秀波主演的电影《北京遇上西雅图》。
This book was so highly regarded and called The Bible of book-lovers. It is written by Helene Hanff. There is no great love stories in the book, just combined with many many letters about trivial matters.
这本书所得的赞誉很高,被称为爱书人的圣经,书里没有轰轰烈烈,惊天地泣鬼神的爱情,有的只是很多繁杂琐事的书信集结。
Helene Hanff is an American poor writer who loved old book so much. The story began from she sent a letter to the second book store whose owner is Frank Doel.
海莲是一个挚爱古老书籍的美国穷作家。故事就从她寄给二手书店的老板法兰克先生的第一封信开始。
After that they kept writing to each other to talk about their views on love, life and society even the politics, georgraphy, economy and so on.
在那之后,他们用书信的方式聊自己关于爱,生活社会的看法,也谈政治,地理,经济,几乎无所不及。
After a long time, the other five stuffs of the store also communicated with Helene by letters. They would deliver Christmas and birthday gift each other. Sometimes Helene even sent food which was short of in England for the world war two.
很长一段时间后,书店的其它五个员工也加入了他们。他们会互相赠送圣诞,生日礼物。有时候,海莲还送一些由于二战而导致的英国短缺的食物。
The stuff of this book store sent invitations to Helene many times, Helene also wanted to visit them but the lack of money was always a hard matter.
书店员工曾多次邀请海莲,她虽然想去,但由于资金匮乏而一直未动身前往。
Finally, the dream came to realize until the published of this book in 1973. However, Frank had passed 5 years ago.
最后,这个梦想在1973年,《查令十字街84号》出版的时候终于实现了,可是法兰克在五年前就去世了。
Helene did not marry all her life. Maybe Frank always looked forward to meeting the woman he communicate with so many years only by letters and waited her.
海莲终生没有结婚。也许法兰克也一直在期待着这个与自己书信来往很多年的女人见一面。
They kept sending letters for twenty years but never met with each other. As for love, benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.
他们互相寄信二十年,却从未见过面。关于书中的爱,可谓是仁者见仁,智者见智。
They never referred love directly, However, I think it is far more than the ordinary love.They can be called the soulmate.
他们从未在书信中直接提到爱,但我想也许远远胜于普通的爱,他们是彼此的灵魂伴侣。
I love many classic lines of this book. Here are some of them.
我喜欢很多书中的经典的话,下面便是其中的几句。
The spring is approaching, I want to read some love poems.
春意渐浓,我想读点情诗。
If you happen to pass by 84 Charing Cross Road , kiss it for me! I owe it so mush.
如果你正好经过查令十字街84号,能否替我吻它?我欠它良多。
Good book is like the true love, maybe we will fall in love with it at the first sight. However, the deep understanding and sympathy need a long time.
一本好书就像真爱,或许我们会对他一见钟情,但深深的了解和同情却需要悠长的岁月。
Life is always full of regret. Some of them can be made up for, some can't be.生活总是充满遗憾的,有的可以弥补,但有的不能。
This is the real life!
