His dad has indeed met a woman, but since she has a laugh that resembles a hyena's mating call, the son doesn't consider her a contender. Ephron develops this story with all of the heartfelt sincerity of a 1950s tearjerker (indeed, the movie's characters spend a lot of time watching "An Affair to Remember" and using it as their romantic compass). There is no irony, no distance, no angle on the material. It is about two people who are destined for one another, and that's that. And that was fine with me.

他的父亲确实遇到了一个女人，但是因为她笑的类似于一个鬣狗的交配呼叫，儿子不考虑她作为一个竞争者。弗仑的这个故事包含了20世纪50年代催人泪下的衷心诚意（事实上，电影中的人物花了很多时间看“An Affair to Remember”，并使用它作为他们的浪漫的指南针）。没有讽刺，没有距离，没有对材料的角度。它是关于两个人是注定彼此的人，就是这样。这是我的想法。

Ephron's earlier screenplay for "When Harry Met Sally" starred Ryan and Billy Crystal, and spent a lot of time showing Harry and Sally not meeting. This film, too, keeps its lovers separate most of the time - although there is a fuzzy scene when Ryan stands in the middle of the street and Hanks gawks at her, and bells ring in his libido.

弗仑的早期剧本“当哈利遇见莎莉”的主演瑞恩和比利克里斯托，并花了很多时间显示Harry和Sally不在一起的时候。这部影片中，也保持其恋人分开的大部分时间。虽然是一个模糊的场景时，瑞恩在街道中间和汉克斯中呆呆的看着她，和铃声中他的本能（有点奇怪）。 The plot mechanics, in fact, reminded me of some of those contrived 1940s and 1950s romantic melodramas where events conspired to bring the lovers close but no closer, and then the writers toyed with us bymanufacturing devices to keep them apart. By the end of "Sleepless in Seattle," we're hoping the lovers will meet atop the Empire State Building (a steal from "An Affair to Remember"), and the movie is doing everything to keep that from happening short of assigning Donald Trump to tear it down。

事实上，这情节提醒我一些二十世纪四五十年代的浪漫情节剧，事件的巧合让爱侣之间亲密但没有更亲近，然后作者玩弄他们使他们分开。“西雅图不眠夜，” 我们希望他们在帝国大厦顶上相遇。而且这部电影尽一切努力去保持好人唐纳德来撕下它（这句话有点奇怪，我不会翻译）。

The actors are well-suited to this material. Tom Hanks keeps a certain detached edge to his character, which keeps him from being simply a fall guy. Meg Ryan, who is one of the most likable actresses around and has a certain ineffable Doris Day innocence, is able to convince us of the magical quality of her sudden love for a radio voice, without letting the device seem like the gimmick is assuredly is.
