Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without mince pies, roast turkey, crackers?…?and a tear-jerking advert from John Lewis.
有些東西是圣誕節(jié)必不可少的，例如肉餡餅、烤火雞、圣誕餅干、還有一則約翰·路易斯公司的催淚廣告。

The department store has long made it its mission to convert even the most avowed Scrooges, and this year is no exception.
這家百貨公司一向以感化人心為己任，哪怕是最冷血的吝嗇鬼,今年也不例外。

The ￡7million Disney-inspired advert, which makes its TV debut tomorrow, tells the story of a selfless hare who is determined to make sure his best friend, a bear, doesn’t miss Christmas for once.
這則受迪士尼動(dòng)畫啟發(fā)而來的廣告耗資700萬美元，于11月9日首次在電視上亮相。它講述了一只無私的野兔如何保證自己最好的朋友——一只熊今年不再錯(cuò)過圣誕節(jié)的感人故事。

The commercial features the tale of two good friends, a bear and a hare, who are sad at the thought of being separated for Christmas.
這則廣告中故事的主角是一對(duì)好朋友——一頭熊和一只野兔，隨著圣誕節(jié)臨近，他們正為彼此分別而感傷。

The store has used hand drawn animation to tell the story with the result the commercial looks very much like a classic Disney film from the 1940s, such as Bambi, which has been watched by generations of children.
該公司采用了手繪動(dòng)畫的形式來講述這個(gè)故事，完成后的廣告效果看起來酷似二十世紀(jì)40年代的迪士尼卡通電影，比如受到幾代人喜愛的《小鹿斑比》。

The technique taps in to feelings of nostalgia, while it also tells a heart-warming story which, based on past experience, will have many in tears.
這則廣告采用手繪動(dòng)畫的形式是為了喚起人們對(duì)童心的懷念，同時(shí)它也講述了一個(gè)溫暖人心的故事，根據(jù)以往的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，這個(gè)故事會(huì)讓很多人潸然淚下。
