"Elopement" is a scene from a movie or romance novel, conjuring images of teenage lovers sneaking out of windows by moonlight. In the real world, people are restricted by moral values and few have the courage to elope with their lovers. The couple's elopement might encourage more to follow suit. It is a story of true love.

“私奔”这个大多出现在电影或者爱情小说中的桥段，让人首先联想到的就是这样一个画面：月高风黑的夜晚，少年情侣偷偷的从窗户溜走了。在现实生活中，人们受到道德观念的约束，很少有人有勇气和情人私奔。王功权的做法也许会引起效仿。这是个真爱的故事。

【讲解】
