[Editors’ note: there’s a trend among American publications to write lengthy essays about Love Actually. This is deeply confusing to the Brits we know, who seem unified in their hatred of the 2003 film.
好吧我承认我从来都没看过这部电影，而且也没有看它的愿望。I will never, in all of my life, understand America’s obsession with Love Actually. It’s not a good film. It’s barely even a film. [K&E: Shut up. Yes it is. It’s got movie stars like Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman!] It’s a collection of half-formed stories revolving around a pointlessly broad theme. It’s diabetic Coffee And Cigarettes. It’s Valentine’s Day with unfortunate dentistry. Perhaps, and tell me if I’m wrong, Americans only like it because their attention spans aren’t all that fantastic. [K&E: Hey that’s… sorry, did you say something? CAT!]
If all British people were like the characters in Love Actually, Britain would have to be drowned in the sea. I’d volunteer to do the drowning.
不过我很爱emma thompson那段儿故事。
Obsession嘛，就是非理智沉迷，音乐之声啊，歌剧魅影啊，迪斯尼啊。。。跟艺术价值扯不上关系。
。我心说你拍错人了，那个穿着随便口气随和的美国胖老头才是直通上层的头头。但是我后来想想大概自己猜错了，她只是觉得英国男口音很sexy所以跟他 flirt 而已。
