To Ramazan Culum’s mind, it was the ultimate declaration of love. 对于拉马扎·卡勒姆而言，这是爱的终极宣言。 To win the heart of a young British waitress he had met in Cyprus seven years earlier, the Turkish businessman set off on an eight-month odyssey in a tiny yacht, braving stormy seas and travelling 2,500 miles to track her down. 七年前他在塞浦路斯遇到一位来自英国的女服务员，如今为了得到她的芳心，这位土耳其商人开始了他驾船航海8个月的旅程，历经风暴和2500英里的重重磨难，只为追寻他的意中人。 The only problem was that the object of his affections, Courtney Murray, had never indicated any interest in him, and in fact had fled her job in Cyprus to escape his disturbing and persistent overtures. 唯一的问题是，他所钟情的这位叫考特尼·默里的姑娘，一直都对他没有任何兴趣。事实上为了躲开他的打扰和不断的示爱，她甚至放弃了塞浦路斯的工作。 His bizarre journey has now been brought to an abrupt end after he was arrested in a British port on Friday and told he will be deported. 如今他的疯狂之旅遭遇中断，周五他在英国的一个港口被捕，并被告知会被驱逐出境。 This was not enough to deter Culum, however, from a quest that has seen him arrested, lose his job as a company director and, as he put it, get banned from ‘more countries than Osama Bin Laden’. |
