每天都是电影：假装活在维多利亚时代的夫妇

It's truly old fashioned romance. Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman were drawn to each other out of a shared fascination with the Victorian era. And over time, their passion has bloomed in a very unconventional fashion.

这是真真正正旧式的浪漫。萨拉和盖布里埃尔·克利斯曼都痴迷于维多利亚时代，也因此彼此吸引。岁月流逝，他们不羁于传统，激情澎湃，热情不减。

For the last five years, the Seattle-based couple who married in 2002 have dressed, traveled, cooked, eaten, and entertained themselves as if they lived in the 19th century. Though a life free of cell phones, internet, modern transport and sneakers smacks of horror to most people today, the Chrismans insist they are the lucky ones.

这对佳人2002年成婚，过去五年里都住在西雅图，他们着装打扮、出游旅行、煮食烹饪、餐饮娱乐都如同生活在19世纪一般。尽管对多数现代人而言，没有手机和因特网、远离现代交通和跑鞋有点儿耸人听闻，但克利斯曼夫妇坚信他们是幸运的一对。

Sarah wears a corset all day, every day. Gabriel, a library and information science academic, wears authentic gold-rimmed 19th century glasses.

萨拉终日穿束身衣，每日都如此。盖布里埃尔是图书馆和信息科学方面的学者，他戴的19世纪的金镶边眼镜，货真价实。

Their home, built in 1888, is equipped with oil-powered lamps, and doesn't have an electric fridge or oven. Clothes are washed in a bucket of room-temperature water. For entertainment, Sarah reads 1890s editions of Cosmopolitan, or the couple go for a cycle ride on their penny farthings.
