Passage 37

学霸导读 你一定知道《罗密欧与朱丽叶》,但你知道很多人都给朱丽叶写信吗?让我们一起来看看这是怎么回事吧!

Nearly everyone knows the tragic (悲剧的) love story of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet .But not everyone knows it’s possible to write a letter to the leading lady of the story, Juliet, and ask her for romance guidance (指导). Being a f ictional (虚构的)c 1 , Juliet of course doesn’t actually reply to (回复) the letters. Instead, volunteers patiently respond to the thousands of letters that are s 2 to her.

Many years ago, people started sending letters addressed to Juliet to her hometown of Verona,Italy. At f 3 , no one knew what to do with all of the letters, until a local man began replying to them. After he retired from the task, a team of volunteers formed (建立) Juliet’s Club, whose members are c 4 Secretaries of Juliet. Following the release (上映) of the 2010 movie Letters to Juliet , even more letters began to pour into the city from all over the world.

People can apply to become a Secretary of Juliet and help answer letters. People of all a 5 ,including many young people, mail in letters. Perhaps they just needs 6 to talk to, and Juliet never judges them. Some letters are touching, some are heartbreaking, and some ask forh 7 in finding the perfect partner—but not even Juliet can help with that!
