Last year it was a little boy with a big heart who left viewers misty-eyed in the John Lewis Christmas commercial. Today, as the department store unveils its new festive ad, they are banking on a lovestruck snowman to do the same.
去年約翰·劉易斯圣誕廣告里那個溫暖人心的小男孩讓每個看完廣告的觀眾都淚眼朦朧。今天百貨公司發(fā)布了新的節(jié)日廣告，這次他們打算靠一個癡情的雪人來打動人心。

The Christmas advert, called The Journey, shows the extraordinary lengths some will go to in their search of the perfect gift for the person they love.
這個圣誕廣告名為《雪人的旅行》，講述的是為了愛人尋找完美禮物所經(jīng)歷的異常艱辛的旅程。

The 90-second commercial opens with children happily making a snowman and snowwoman in their snow-covered garden. But before they have time to wrap up the snowwoman with scarf and gloves, they are called inside by their mother.
這個時長1分半鐘的廣告，開始的鏡頭是孩子們在白雪覆蓋的花園里堆了一男一女兩個雪人。不過孩子們還沒有來得及給女雪人帶上圍巾和手套，就被媽媽叫進屋子里去了。

John Lewis 愛情廣告：穿越時空的愛情（視頻）

The snowman mysteriously disappears the next morning. We then see him undertake an epic journey, akin to Frodo in the Lord of the Rings, as he travels across fields, forests, rivers and sweeping mountains.
第二天早上雪人先生神秘的失蹤了，我們看到他跋山涉水經(jīng)歷了一段史詩般的旅程，跨過原野，穿過森林，淌過河流，爬過群山，經(jīng)歷很像電影《魔戒》中的淳樸少年弗羅多。

The snowman then braves the High Street and hides behinds some bins to avoid some youngsters having a snowball fight but his face lights up when he reaches his destination.
雪人先生勇敢地穿過了商業(yè)街，躲在垃圾桶后面避開了打雪仗的年輕人，在終于達到目的地后，他的整個臉呈現(xiàn)出了動人的光彩。

The motive for the snowman’s secret journey isn't revealed until the last scene, when he returns on Christmas morning with gifts of a scarf and gloves for his wife. The slogan 'give a little more love this Christmas' is then shown.
雪人先生秘密旅行的真正目的直到廣告的最后一幕才揭曉，他在圣誕節(jié)的早晨返回，給妻子帶回來圍巾和手套做禮物。廣告語“這個圣誕，給出多一點愛” 也在最后出現(xiàn)。
