Need relationship advice? Shakespeare’s famous lover is here to help.
需要些愛情箴言嗎？莎翁筆下知名的情人在此為你提供建言。
Nearly everyone knows the tragic love story of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. But not everyone knows it’s possible to write a letter to the leading lady of the story, Juliet, and ask her for romance guidance. Being a fictional character, Juliet of course doesn’t actually reply to the letters. Instead, volunteers patiently respond to the thousands of letters that are sent to her.
幾乎大家都知道莎士比亞筆下的愛情悲劇《羅密歐與茱麗葉》。但不是大家都知道可以寫封信給故事裡的女主角 —— 茱麗葉，向她諮詢愛情指引。作為一個虛構人物，茱麗葉當然不會真的去回覆這些信件。而是有一群志工代替她耐心地回覆寄給她的上千封信件。
Many years ago, people started sending letters addressed to Juliet to her hometown of Verona, Italy. At first, no one knew what to do with all of the letters, until a local man began replying to them. After he retired from the task, a team of volunteers formed Juliet’s Club, whose members are called Secretaries of Juliet. Following the release of the 2010 movie Letters to Juliet, even more letters began to pour into the city from all over the world.
人們多年前開始寄信到茱麗葉的故鄉 —— 義大利的維洛那。一開始沒人知道該怎麼處理這些信件，直到有位當地男士開始回覆這些信件。在他退出了這項工作之後，一群志工組成了「茱麗葉俱樂部」，其成員都被稱作「茱麗葉的祕書」。隨著 2010 年電影《給茱麗葉的信》上映後，有更多來自世界各地的信件開始湧入這座城市。
People can apply to become a Secretary of Juliet and help answer letters. People of all ages, including many young people, mail in letters. Perhaps they just need someone to talk to, and Juliet never judges them. Some letters are touching, some are heartbreaking, and some ask for help finding the perfect partner—but not even Juliet can help with that!
人人都可以申請成為茱麗葉的祕書來幫忙回覆信件。各年齡層的人都寄信來，其中不乏不少年輕人。也許他們只是需要有個人來傾訴，而茱麗葉從不對之品頭論足。有些信很動人、有些則令人心碎、還有些人尋求協尋完美的另一半 —— 但這種事情即使是茱麗葉也無法幫忙啊！
