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(gè)溫暖人心的小男孩讓每個(gè)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(gè)癡情的雪人來(lái)打動(dòng)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(gè)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。

John Lewis 愛情廣告：穿越時(shí)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.

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(dá)到目的地后，他的整個(gè)臉呈現(xiàn)出了動(dòng)人的光彩。

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(lái)圍巾和手套做禮物。廣告語(yǔ)“這個(gè)圣誕，給出多一點(diǎn)愛” 也在最后出現(xiàn)。
