I'm not going to sing praise to my late husband, not today.
Neither will I talk about how good he was. Enough people has done that here.
Instead,I want to talk about some things would make some of you feel a bit uncomfortable.First of all, I want to talk about what happened in bed.
Everyone has difficulty starting your car engine in the morning.
Horrrrr Kaaaaaa Keeeeee Horrrrr Gaaaaaa.

That's exactly what David snoring sounded like.
But wait, snoring wasn't everything.
There was also these rear and wind action going on as well.
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. "

All you might find these all very funny, but toward the end of his life,
when his illness was at his worst,
these sounds indicated to me that my David was still alive.

And I wouldn't give just to hear these sounds again before I sleep.
In the end, it is these small things you remember,
the 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.

praise 讚許、歌頌
Neither 也不、更不
Instead 取而代之的
snoring 打鼾、打呼聲
rear 後面、臀部
wind action 這個我解讀成：放屁
as well 也;同樣地;還不如
forceful 有力的、強有力
might (may的過去式)表示可能,不確定
toward 朝向、關於
illness 不健康的、疾病
indicated 表明;象徵;暗示
imperfection 缺點;瑕疵

「所以我想告訴我的子女，有一天，你也能找到你們生命中的伴侶，他們會像你爸爸在我眼中一樣『不完美得很美』。」（So, to my beautiful children: One day, you too find yourself life partners, who are as BEAUTIFULLY IMPERFECT as your father was to me.）

這是今天plurk上面雪兜轉載的一則廣告，卻傳達了好多很深的內涵（你知道這是什麼廣告嗎？），短短的三分鐘卻可以讓我有兩種情緒反應，不得不佩服這導演的功力，Beautifully imperfect『不完美得很美』............很棒～真的。

不過看完我不是要寫心得的，是要解析英文的（哈），英文英文！這影片的台詞其實不難，只是要花時間想一下，大家一起來用功吧。
