"The first thing that I came across that startled me was his appointment card," Mark Logue says.
Mark Logue称:“首先让我感到惊讶的是看到了当时的这封预约卡。”

In tiny handwriting, Logue assessed his new patient, Albert, Duke of York in 1926.
在1926年,Logue医生记录下了他的新病号的病情。

The Duke saw Logue almost every day for next two or three months, in advance of a royal visit to Australia, Logue's records show.
根据Logue的记载,在接下来的2、3个月中公爵几乎每天都会来复诊,一直持续到他去澳大利亚进行访问。


The friendship lasted for the rest of their lives, although it seems they were never photographed together.
他们之间的这份友谊在两人接下来的生命中一直得以延续着,尽管他们貌似都没正儿八经地合过一张影。

At the Coronation in 1937, Logue is seated in the royal box, with his wife, Myrtle. They are so high up, she's using opera glasses.
在1937年国王的加冕典礼上,Logue和他太太Myrtle应邀坐进了皇室包厢。这使得两人的身份倍显尊贵,Logue太太当时还用着小型的双眼望远镜呢。(在当时这可不是一般人能用得上的呢。)

Myrtle died suddenly of a heart attack after World War II, prompting the king to write: "Dear Logue, I must send you one line to tell you how terribly sorry I was to hear of your bereavement. And I send you all my deepest sympathy in your great grief ...I do so feel for you as I know you had a perfect companionship with her. I am yours sincerely. George."
二战后,Logue的太太Myrtle因心脏病发作意外死亡,国王特意写吊信给Logue:亲爱的Logue,当我听到这个不幸的消息后,不得不提笔告诉你我有多难受。对于你所承受的所有悲痛,我深表同情。我亦深知你与太太感情深厚。George。”

Mark Logue gets choked up reading the letter generations later.
即使时隔几代人之后,当Mark Logue看到这封信时,依然能体会到当时的悲伤,感同身受。

The archive inspired him to write a book with the author Peter Conradi.
正是因为看到了这些被保存下来的材料,Mark Logue最终决定和Peter Conradi来写一本与此有关的书以示纪念。

"King's Speech" director Tom Hooper starting looking at Logue's material about seven weeks before starting filming, Logue says—and was able to add some details to the movie as a result.
导演Tom Hooper在《国王的演讲》开拍前7周看到了这些材料,于是决定在影片中加入一些具体情节。

Hooper hadn't known, for example, that the king took off his jacket and stood to deliver the 1939 speech, since photos of the event show him seated and in full military uniform.
当然,Hooper导演还有一些不知道的细节,比如:国王当时是先把夹克脱掉后站着发表演讲的。因为从当时的照片来看,国王是身着军装正襟危坐的。

And, from Logue's diary, a joke was added.
另外,从Logue的日记中还发现了一个小笑话。

"I went to Windsor on Sunday for the broadcast... only one mistake... W in weapons," Logue wrote. "After the broadcast I shook hands with the King and congratulated him. And asked him why he stopped on the W. He replied with a grin. I did it on purpose. I exclaimed -- on purpose ? And he said yes -- if I don't make a mistake they won't know it's me."
“星期天我赶去温莎参加国王的演讲直播…当天他只读错了一个地方…就是在Weapons这里的W音时停顿了一下。”直播结束后我和国王握手并对演讲的成功表示祝贺。同时我还问他为什么在这里要停顿下。他笑着说是故意的,不然大家怎么知道真的是George本人在演讲呢!

The movie did make some changes, of course: The real Lionel Logue was more deferential than Geoffrey Rush's character, and rather shorter than his movie counterpart.
当然,影片《国王的演讲》确实也做了些改动,比如:真正的Lionel Logue可要比Geoffrey Rush在片中扮演的那个Logue医生恭敬些呢,而且他本人略显矮小些。

And another thing the movie does not tell audiences is that the king and the therapist remained close until the end of their lives. George VI died in 1952. The following year, his friend Lionel Logue died too.
影片中还有一点未透露的是:Logue和国王的友谊一直持续到他们的晚年,1952年乔治六世过世,次年,Logue也去世了。
