(CNN)--If they remade "Casablanca" today, chances are its epic emotional climax would feature a slightly less poetic farewell between bar owner Rick Blaine and his old flame Ilsa.Urging the woman he loves onto a plane to escape to freedom, Humphrey Bogart's character would utter the heartfelt words: "We'll always have Disney World Florida."

如果今天他們翻拍「北非諜影」(註一)，它如史詩般的情感顛峰可能會將酒吧老闆Rick Blaine和他的舊情人Ilsa之間的感情描寫成稍微不那麼詩意的告別，他力勸他愛的女人坐飛機逃離去尋求自由，Humphrey Bogart的角色道出了真摯的話語：「佛羅里達州迪士尼樂園將一直存在。」

OK, so it doesn't have the same ring as Paris, but apparently Mickey Mouse's Sunshine State outpost is where modern couples are more likely to have shared their most romantic moment.Online ticket retailer FloridaTix.com reached this dispiriting conclusion after scouring YouTube for every wedding proposal video uploaded since 2005.Of more than 200,000 tallied, Disney World Florida claimed 59,700.

好的，所以它給人的感覺和巴黎不太一樣，但顯然米老鼠在陽光之州(佛羅里達州被稱作是陽光之州)所在地是現代情侶最喜歡製造浪漫時刻的地方，線上售票網 FloridaTix.com在YouTube搜尋2005年以來上傳的所有求婚影片後得到這個令人沮喪的結論，超過20萬的得票數中，佛羅里達州的迪士尼樂園得到59,700票。

Proven passion killer

公認的熱情殺手

Gallingly for France's city of love, its most famous landmark doesn't even make it into the top five proposal spots.The Eiffel Tower languishes seventh, behind a slew of New York locations, Universal Studios Florida and -- most galling of all -- Disneyland Paris.Paris performed marginally better in the top 10 list of cities for marriage proposals, placing a modest fourth behind New York, Los Angeles and London.

這對法國的愛之城是一種侮辱，它最著名的地標甚至沒有進入求婚場所的前五名，埃菲爾鐵塔落在第七名，是在許多紐約地點之後，像是佛羅里達環球影城和在所有之中最令人氣憤的—巴黎迪士尼樂園，巴黎在適合求婚的城市前十名中有不錯的表現，位於適中的第四名，僅在紐約、洛杉磯和倫敦之後。

Still, the uploading of YouTube videos isn't exactly a scientific measure of romantic inspiration and in some cases, Internet oversharing has been a proven passion killer."Don't play it again Sam," as Rick never said in "Casablanca."

然而YouTube上傳的影片並不是浪漫妙計精確地科學測量方法，而且在某些情況下，網路過度的分享成為公認的熱情殺手，「Sam不要再撥放了」，就好像Rick沒有在「北非諜影」中說過一樣。

Top 10 global proposal sites

前十名全球求婚地點

1. Disney World (Florida) (59,700 uploads)

迪士尼樂園(佛羅里達州)

Just don't call it a "Mickey Mouse Marriage." Disney World Florida has featured in 59,700 videos of lovers getting engaged.
不要說這是「米老鼠婚姻」，佛羅里達州迪士尼樂園在戀人們訂婚的影片中占了59,700個影片的重要位置。

2. Times Square (New York) (45,500)

泰晤士廣場(紐約)

Flash mobs gather, billboards flash and approximately 33,000 people wander through Times Square on a daily basis. So, no pressure at all on the 45,000 uploaders who said "I do."

快閃族聚集在一起、廣告牌閃爍以及每天大約有33,000人漫步在泰晤士廣場，因此所有45,000說「我願意」的上傳者不會感到有壓力。

3. Central Park (New York) (33,600)

中央公園(紐約)

It's free to enter. There's no one dressed as Mickey Mouse. There isn't an amazing view. And yet New York's Central Park bags 33,600 proposal videos and third place on the list. There's hope for humanity yet.

這裡能很自由的進出，沒有人會打扮成米老鼠，這裡沒有很驚人的風景，但紐約的中央公園囊括了33,600個求婚影片且佔據第三名的位置。

4. Top of the Rock (New York) (32,700)

峭石之巔觀景台(紐約)

What makes the view from the top of the Rockefeller Center (32,700 YouTube proposals) more romantic than the Empire State Building? Only a hardened cynic would suggest it's the slightly cheaper tickets.

是什麼讓洛克菲勒中心(32,700 個YouTube求婚影片)頂樓的風景比帝國大廈更浪漫?只有冷酷的憤世嫉俗者會說這是稍微有點便宜的票。

5. Disneyland Paris (Paris) (8,480)

巴黎迪士尼樂園(巴黎)

Why propose by a European historic landmark when you can propose by a European fake historic landmark? So say 8,480 YouTube uploaders.

當你能夠在假的歐洲歷史地標求婚，為何還要在歐洲歷史地標求婚?所以有8,480名 YouTube上傳者。

6. Universal Studios Florida (Florida) (5,650)

佛羅里達環球影城(佛羅里達州)

More metaphors for troubled marriages -- roller coasters -- didn't dissuade 5,650 couples from uploading their expressions of love at Universal Studios Florida.

7. Eiffel Tower (Paris) (5,420)

埃菲爾鐵塔(巴黎)

We still love you Paris, but maybe just, y'know, as a friend. The Eiffel Tower places seventh on the list with 5,420 YouTube proposals.

8. Grand Canyon (Arizona) (4,470)

大峽谷(亞利桑那州)

The Grand Canyon scored 4,470 "I do" uploads on YouTube. If the marriage doesn't pan out, you'll always have a great metaphor for your relationship to look back on.

9. The London Eye (London) (4,080)

倫敦眼(倫敦)

The London Eye is the UK's only top 10 entry. Better hope it's a yes otherwise the 15-minute ride down from the top is going to be awkward.

英國唯一進入前十名的是倫敦眼，最好期望答案是我願意，否則在上面乘坐的15分鐘將會變得很尷尬。

10. The Empire State Building (New York) (3,470)

帝國大廈(紐約)
