名著的浪漫情话

Britons have chosen a line from Emily Bronte’s novel "Wuthering Heights" as the most romantic in English literature一just in time for Valentine’s Day.

在情人节来临之际，英国人认为英国文学中最浪漫的情话来自艾米莉·勃朗特的小说《呼啸山庄》。

A poll of 2,000 adults commissioned by Warner Home Video to mark the DVD release of the romantic comedy "Going the Distance" showed 20 percent of respondents chose the line: "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." Fictional character Catherine Earnshaw’s comment on her love for Heathcliff was followed by Winnie The Pooh, the fictional bear created by English writer AA Milne: "If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus one day, sa I never have to live without you." England's most famous playwright, William Shakespeare, came third with a line from his play about star-crossed lovers "Romeo and Juliet":

‘旧ut soft! What light through yonder windowbreaks? It is the east and Juliet is

the sun."

这项涵盖了2000名成人的调查是由华纳家庭录影公司开展的，目的是为了纪念爱情喜剧《远距离爱情》发行DVD版本。调查显示，20%的应答者选择了这句话:“不论我

们的灵魂是什么做成的，他的和我的是一模一样的。”这是小说中的人物凯瑟琳·恩肖

在诉说她对希思克利夫的爱意。紧随其后的是英国作家AA米尔恩创作的卡通人物小熊维尼说的话:“假如你的寿命是X00年，那我希望自己活到100岁的前一天，那样我的生命中每天都能有你。”英国最著名的剧作家威廉·莎士比亚的戏剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中的这句话排在第三位:“嘘!那边窗户里亮起的是什么光?哦，那是东方，朱丽叶就是

太阳!”《罗密欧与朱丽叶》讲述的是一对苦命恋人的故事。
