英18岁情侣因战乱分离 72年后重逢续前缘(双语)
The childhood sweethearts, D-Day veteran Roy Vickerman, 90, and his bride-to-be Nora Jackson, 89, are now set to marry, 72 years after Roy first proposed in 1944.
童年时代的一对爱侣,诺曼底登陆日的军人罗伊·威克曼,今年90岁,他的准新娘诺拉·杰克森,今年89岁,现在准备好要结婚了。罗伊早在1944年就求婚了。
The couple first met in 1940 at school in Staffordshire. They fell in love and got engaged in 1944, both aged 18, a week before Roy went to fight in the D-Day Landings in Normandy.
这对情侣最初1940年在史丹福郡的一所学校里认识。他们坠入了爱河,于1944年订婚,两人当时18岁,而一个礼拜后罗伊去诺曼底登陆战斗了。
Roy was later shot during the Allied Invasion of Germany in 1945 and the shell-shock he suffered on his return to England eventually led to the breakdown of his relationship with Nora.
罗伊后来在1945年德国盟军入侵时遭枪击,回英国途中饱受弹震症之苦,最终导致和诺拉分手。
They both moved on with their lives and went on to marry and have children, followed by grandchildren, although they both sadly lost their partners in later years.
他们彼此继续生活、各自嫁娶,有了小孩和第三代,尽管后来他们婚姻中都痛失伴侣。
Nora didn’t think she’d ever see Roy again, but she still thought of him occasionally. And, 70 years later, Roy tracked his childhood sweetheart down. After he called the BBC Midlands radio show ‘Late Night Love’, to tell their wartime story.
诺拉没想到自己能重见罗伊,但仍会偶尔想起他。70年后,罗伊一路追溯自己孩提时代的恋人的下落。他致电英国中部BBC一档名为“深夜挚爱”的广播节目,讲述他们俩的战时故事。
Not knowing whether Nora was married or not, Roy simply planned to give her a bunch of flowers, apologise for the way their romance ended.
罗伊并不知晓诺拉是否结婚,他只想着要给诺拉献上一捧花,为他们的浪漫爱情不了了之说声抱歉。
A year on, Roy proposed to Nora for a second time, during his 90th birthday celebrations. They’re now planning a summer wedding.
一年后,罗伊在90岁生日的时候第二次向诺拉求婚。他们计划夏天举办婚礼。
