Beautifully Imperfect

五月初
新加坡出了一則特別的廣告
在電視上播出後，引起極大的爭議
這則廣告由新加坡國家級「社區發展部」所拍攝
(Ministry of Community Development)
是一則「支持婚姻」(pro-marriage)的廣告

這則「促婚影片」只有3分鐘又2秒
主角是一位印度裔太太
悼念她剛死去的華裔老公
然而，她的悼詞和大家預期的不同...

版面關係
我只能放縮小版的版本
(可以自己點去youtube看放大版)
中文字幕不是很清楚
不過看原文比較有意境...

內容聽寫：

『Mrs. Lee, I believe you have some words to say about the dearly departed?』

『I'm not going to sing praises for my late husband.

Not today.

Neither am I going to talk about how good he was, enough people have done that here.

Instead, I want to talk about some things that will make some of you feel...

a bit uncomfortable.

First off, I want to talk about what happened in bed.

Ever had difficulty starting your car engine in the morning?

Well, that's exactly what David's snoring sounded like.

But wait, snoring wasn't everything.

There was also this rear-end wind action (fart) going on its way.

Some nights, it would be so forceful, it would wake him up.

"What was that!?" He would ask.

"Oh, it's the dog," I would say. "Go back to sleep, dear."

Oh you might find this all very funny.

But towards the end of his life, when his illness was at its worst.

These sounds indicated to me that my David was still alive.

And what I wouldn't give...

just to hear those sounds again before I sleep.

In the end, it's these small things that you remember,

little imperfections that make them perfect for you.

So to my beautiful children,

I hope one day,

you too find yourselves life partners...

who are as beautifully imperfect as your father was to me.』

家.
