nd today we have a love story that started with a song. It was Brooklyn in the late 1950s. Jay McKnight and his friends spent summer evenings outside， singing 1）a cappella. And one night， Jay caught the ear of a girl named Andrea.
Andrea McKnight： We heard these voices—the guys singing on the corner—and this tall， dark fellow was singing. And he had these shades on. I was like， “Look at this guy. Voice was fabulous.” And young as I was—at the time I think I was， what， 14—I said， “Nah， he’s not even going to take notice of me.”
Jay McKnight： I was 18 going on 19 years of age. I looked at a friend of mine who I was singing with and I says [sic]， “I’m going to marry her.” You know what he told me？ “You’re going to jail. She’s too young.” I said，“No， I’m really going to marry her.”
So one day she was by herself. I said， “I’m going to talk to her now.” As a young guy， you’d drop your voice on a...
Andrea： He was trying to impress.
Jay： Yes， I said， “Hi， how you doing？” —like that， you know； that’s to impress...
Andrea： Which made me nervous.
Jay： It was to impress.
Andrea： You remember the thing that impressed me about you： We were on the bus coming from the movies， and it started thundering and poured down rain. Getting off the bus， there was a 2）puddle， and you took your shirt off...
Jay： Yeah， that was...
Andrea： ...and laid it down. I was finished. Finished， you hear？
Jay： Yeah， we actually wanted to get married， but everybody in her family wanted to kill me. So our parents got together and talked.
Andrea： You had to come and speak to my grandmother...
Jay： I was scared， and she was terrified. But we did get married.
Andrea： We did.
Jay： I was no bed of roses to live with because I’m an entertainer. There’s a lot of temptation out there when you’re singing.
Andrea： Yeah.
Jay： I mean， there’s a lot. But I used to tell them： When you get as pretty as my wife， then we’ll talk. Andrea： Why do you think that we lasted as long as we did？
Jay： I think it’s because we grew up together.
Andrea： Did you ever think that we would grow old together？
Jay： I never thought I would ever grow old. That’s to start off with.
Andrea： OK.
Jay： People look at us sometimes and say， you all are still holding hands. That’s right.
Andrea： Uh-huh， our children say that to us. Jay： Yeah， but no other woman will ever move me. And I’ll always love you， no matter what.
今天，我们来听一个爱情故事，这个故事以一首歌开始。那是在上世纪五十年代后期，在纽约布鲁克林的夏夜，杰伊·麦奈特会跟他的朋友在户外清唱。有一天晚上，他的歌声引起了一个叫安德列亚的女孩子的注意。
安德列亚·麦奈特：我们听到歌声，一群男孩子在街角处唱歌，其中有一个个子高高的黑小伙。他戴了墨镜。我当时想，“看看这家伙，嗓子真棒。”我当时还很小，我想大概是14岁吧。我对自己说：“算了，他根本就不会注意到我的。”
杰伊·麦奈特：我当时18岁，快19了。我看了一眼跟我一起在唱的朋友，说道：“我要跟她结婚。”你知道他说什么吗？“你会坐牢的，她太小了。”我说：“不，我真的会娶她。”
于是有一天，碰巧她独自一人，我说：“我现在就去跟她聊一下。”当时年轻，觉得应该压低嗓门儿……
安德列亚：他想给我留个好印象。
杰伊：正是。我说：“嗨，你好吗？”当时我就用这种声音说话，你知道吧，就是想给她留个好印象……
安德列亚：他这样让我很紧张。
杰伊：但我的初衷是想给她留个好印象。
安德列亚：你记得是什么事情给了我好的印象吗？我们看完电影坐公共汽车回来，在路上雷电交加，大雨倾盆。下车的时候，地上有一滩水，你脱下上衣……
杰伊：是的，是这样……
安德列亚：……然后把它铺在地上。我彻底被你俘虏了，彻底被打败了，你听到了吗？
杰伊：对。我俩真的想结婚，但她家里的所有人都恨不得要杀了我。所以，我们双方的父母聚到一起讨论这事。
安德列亚：你后来还得到家里来跟奶奶聊……
杰伊：我好害怕，她也吓坏了。但我们最终还是结婚了。
安德列亚：对。
杰伊：我可不是让人省心的主，因为我是一个艺人，我在外面演出的时候，有太多的诱惑。
安德列亚：对。
杰伊：我是说，会有许许多多的诱惑。但我总是这样对她们说：如果你有我妻子那么漂亮，那我们再谈别的。
安德列亚：你觉得我们为什么能在一起这么长时间？
杰伊：我想是因为我们共同成长。
安德列亚：你想过我们会一起变老吗？
杰伊：我从来就不觉得自己会老，这是我当初的想法。
安德列亚：好吧。
杰伊：有的时候，人们看到我们，会说，你们还手牵着手。没错。
安德列亚：嗯哼，我们自己的儿女也这么说。
杰伊：是的。这个世界上，再没有其他女人能够打动我。不管发生什么事情，我都会永远爱你。
