杰克得知原来那名同班机的奇妙英国女子是艾玛之后,就开始对艾玛的生活感到兴趣。在艾玛与男朋友分手之后,两人顺利地开始约会。一场访谈中,杰克无意间将艾玛的小秘密都说了出去,因此让艾玛相当生气。最后杰克承认他的错误并且与艾玛分享他的人生,最后两人和好,并且幸福地在一起。

馥林版本删除的部分

在中文版当中有部分细节被删除,如50页开头,[1]

“爷爷?”

爷爷正坐在皮沙发上,听收音机的古典乐,地板上摆着六个纸箱,装版各式各样的杂物。

“艾玛”他抬起头来,满脸喜悦。

然而原文为:[2] (粗体字部分为不同处)

'Grandpa?'

Grandpa is Mum's dad, and he's lived with us ever since he had his heart operation, ten years ago. At the old house in Twickenham he just had a bedroom, but this house is bigger, so he has his own annexe of two rooms, and a tiny little kitchen, tacked onto the side of the house. He's sitting in his favourite leather armchair, with the radio playing classical music, and on the floor in front of him are about six cardboard packing cases full of stuff. 'Hi, Grandpa,'I say

'Emma!'He looks up, and his face lights up.

我在石子路上拖着脚来回摩擦。我觉得有点丢脸,我早该知道这件事情很重要。这件事是真的既复杂又敏感,他说得没错。 他看着我的眼神,让我不禁有点紧张。我也看着他,两颊开始微微发红。

而原文为:[4]

I scuff my toe awkwardly on the gravel, feeling a bit shamefaced. I should have known it would be something important. When he said it was complicated and sensitive, he was just telling the truth.

Only a handful of people know about this.' Jack meets my eyes gravely. 'A handful of special, trusted people.

There's something in his gaze which makes my throat feel a bit tight. I stare back at him, feeling blood rising in my cheeks.

“刚才讲到哪里了?”我们一边朝着中庭走去,他一边说,“好,接下来我要告诉你的这件事,你绝对不能说出去。”他靠了过来低声说,“其实我并不喜欢喝潘瑟可乐,我比较喜欢喝百事可乐”。

“不会吧?”我吃惊地说。

“是真的。我刚刚就说过了,有的事情不太光彩......”

而原文为:[6]

'So...where was I?' he says, as we step down into the courtyard. 'Oh,OK. Now this you really can't tell anybody.' He leans close and lowers his voice. 'I don't actually like Panther Cola. I prefer Pepsi.'

In fact, sometimes I decant Pepsi into a Panther can--

'No!' I give a snort of laughter.

'It's true. I told you it wasn't pretty...'
