英國(guó)人對(duì)于文學(xué)的熱愛和對(duì)書信的依賴從歷史一直延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在：他們到現(xiàn)在還會(huì)有很多閱讀會(huì)，包括有一個(gè)盛會(huì)叫Letter Live， 是請(qǐng)名人來朗讀書中的片段。明年3月10~15日這個(gè)盛會(huì)又要在倫敦開幕，于是為了慶祝盛會(huì)歸來，組織者在12月7日，也就是英國(guó)國(guó)家寫信日，邀請(qǐng)了一些名人名士寫一封信給我們大家最熟悉的老爺爺Father Christmas 圣誕老人。其中就包括本尼迪特Benedict Cumberbatch，我們最熟悉的夏洛克Sherlock的飾演者。
卷福在手寫信中寫道：“我希望你能讓孩子們更多地享受童年天真爛漫的時(shí)光，讓魔法和歡笑的日子延長(zhǎng)，讓他們遠(yuǎn)離瘋狂的現(xiàn)實(shí)世界，笑容燦爛、遠(yuǎn)離眼淚?！?BR> 另外，他還說會(huì)給圣誕老人留波特酒和肉餡餅，希望自己能得到一把光劍。
Benedict Cumberbatch has written a letter to Santa Claus asking him for "a little more time for children to be children".
He was writing to promote the Letters Live event next March, which celebrates the power of literary correspondence.
The Sherlock star wrote:
This is what I'd like to ask you to help with. A little more time for children to be children. Stretch the moment of magic and playfulness. Distract them from the realities of a world gone mad so that they can laugh with their breath rather than sob with their tears.
Especially those caring for family members, or suffering illness, hunger or poverty. Especially those hiding in buildings as bombs rain down, or being handed shaking with fear or cold into a boat to escape environmental disaster or war. Please help to light up their worlds with a moment of joy and hope.
Spare a thought too for those millions who want to write to you but through illiteracy can't. Hear their words and help to give them the time and chance to learn how to read and write so they can better their lives and escape their impoverished beginnings.
He signed off promising to leave some extra port and mince pies for the man in red, and asked for a lightsaber.
Cumberbatch was among a number of stars who penned letters to Santa including Annie Lennox, Radiohead's Thom Yorke, Thandie Newton and Russell Brand - who thanked him for "Jeremy Corbyn, Charlotte Church and the new series of Peep Show".
