(单词翻译:单击)

   It's truly old fashioned romance. Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman were drawn1 to each other out of a shared fascination2 with the Victorian era. And over time, their passion has bloomed in a very unconventional fashion.

  这是真真正正旧式的浪漫。萨拉和盖布里埃尔·克利斯曼都痴迷于维多利亚时代,也因此彼此吸引。岁月流逝,他们不羁于传统,激情澎湃,热情不减。
  For the last five years, the Seattle-based couple who married in 2002 have dressed, traveled, cooked, eaten, and entertained themselves as if they lived in the 19th century. Though a life free of cell phones, internet, modern transport and sneakers smacks3 of horror to most people today, the Chrismans insist they are the lucky ones.
  这对佳人2002年成婚,过去五年里都住在西雅图,他们着装打扮、出游旅行、煮食烹饪、餐饮娱乐都如同生活在19世纪一般。尽管对多数现代人而言,没有手机和因特网、远离现代交通和跑鞋有点儿耸人听闻,但克利斯曼夫妇坚信他们是幸运的一对。
