《给朱丽叶的信》笔记2：50年前的信
I didn’t go to him, Juliet. I didn’t go to Lorenzo. His eyes were so full of trust. I promised I’d meet him to run away together because my parents don’t approve. But instead, I left him waiting for me, below our tree, waiting and wondering where I was. I’m in Verona now. I return to London in the morning, and I’m so afraid. Please, Juliet, tell me what I should do. My heart is breaking, and I have no one else to turn to. Love, Claire.
这封50年前就放在许愿墙而被遗忘的信终于被Sophie发现了，成为影片所有故事的导火索。50年前，一名叫Claire的年轻女子因为父母的反对被迫离开了心爱的人，不得不嫁给父母安排好的贵族子弟，而她心爱的Lorenzo却要在那里苦苦等待，她内心的痛苦想要对Juliet诉说，最后她终究是接受了命运的安排。
Turn to在这里表示的是Claire已经十分绝望，却找不到人来帮助她，可以翻译成求助于。
Approve的正误用法：
（1）公司总裁批准了建筑计划。
误：The company president approved of the buildingplans.
正：The company president approved the buildingplans.
析：approve 在现代英语中有两个主要用法：一是表示“赞成”、 “认可”、“满意”、“同意”等, 此时通常是不及物动词(有时用作及物动词，但已很少见)，若需后接宾语，通常要借助介词 of；二是表示“批准”、“通过”，此时只用作及物动词，其后跟宾语时无需任何介词。不及物用例：I approve of your choice.(我赞成你的选择)。
（2）我不赞成你同他一起出去。
误：I do not approve you to go out with him.
正：I do not approve of your going out with him.
析：approve 通常不跟不定式的复合结构作宾语。
-May I ask, which one of you wrote this letter to my grandmother, Claire Smith?
-I wrote that. And I can’t believe that it found you.
-Yes. We Brits tend to stay in our family homes.
-Yeah. That is amazing. It’s less than a week since I mailed it.
-Now, what were you thinking?
-I was thinking that she deserved an answer.
-Yeah, 50 years ago, maybe. Not now.
-I’m sorry. I didn’t know true love had an expiration date.
-True love? Are you joking? Could you imagine what would’ve happened if she hadn’t seen sense?
男主角终于出现啦~~终于和Sophie见面啦~~不过，初次见面，男主貌似态度不友好，他不愿意带奶奶（也就是Claire）来寻找真爱，因为他不相信真爱，更何况是50年前的爱情，他觉得很荒谬，相反Sophie因为她写的回信寄到了而表现的十分激动，那么她和男主之间到底会发生些什么事情呢？他们之间的争吵到底何时才能结束呢？
