The Notebook is well-known as one of the most romantic films of all time.
众所周知，《恋恋笔记本》是有史以来最浪漫的电影之一。
So it’s about time that a wannabe groom decided to pop the question using inspiration from the famous movie.
正因为此，一位准新郎决定从这部电影里借取灵感向女友求婚。
Italian Angelo Piccini hired a private lake in Alexandra Palace, north London, and filled it with 1000 origami swans to propose to his girlfriend, Chiara Grimaldi.
意大利男子安吉洛·比奇尼在伦敦北部的亚历山大宫租用了一片私人湖区，湖里满放着1000只折纸天鹅，以此向他的女友基娅拉·格里马尔迪求婚。
The gesture was a reference to the famous scene in the Hollywood movie where Noah, played by Ryan Gosling, took his love Allie, played by Rachel McAdams, on a boat ride to a beautiful lake that was filled with swans.
这番场景布置的灵感来自那部著名好莱坞电影中的镜头，在电影中，瑞恩·高斯林扮演的诺亚将自己心爱的姑娘、瑞秋·麦克亚当斯饰演的艾丽带去湖上泛舟，湖水里游满了天鹅，场景非常美丽。
Although the effect wasn't quite as spectacular as the blockbuster movie, from the look on Chiara's face she certainly appreciated the gesture.
虽然现实效果不如电影大片那样唯美，但是从基娅拉的表情来看，她确实很喜欢这番布置。
Angelo then asked his friends and family to hold up signs which contained the words, 'Chiara, Will You Marry Me? You are the one.'
接着，安吉洛请自己的朋友和亲人举起一组牌子，牌子上写着“基娅拉，你愿意嫁给我吗?你是我的唯一。”
During the video, Chiara is also seen being serenaded by a singer - the woman sings the Italian's favourite songs as she walks alongside them on the banks of the lake.
在他们拍摄的视频中，还有人为基娅拉演唱了一支小夜曲——一位女士在湖岸上，一边缓步走着，一边唱着那位意大利女郎最爱的歌曲。
And luckily all of Angelo's planning was not in vain.
幸运的是，安吉洛所有这些精心准备并没有白费。
During the proposal, he tells Chiara: 'When we are together, everything is possible. Together everything is doable.' 'I did this because when I met you, one year ago more or less, my life changed.'
在他向基娅拉求婚的时候，他对女友说：“当我们在一起的时候，没有什么事是不可能的，没有什么事是办不到的。”“我现在向你求婚是因为，当一年前我遇到你之后，我的生活彻底改变了。”
He then presented her with a diamond ring and she accepted his proposal.
接着他将一枚钻石戒指送到她面前，而她接受了他的求婚。
