很多人听烟酒之类的笑话听多了，从而未能意识到一个事实，那就是那是一个真实的爱情故事。

What people don't realize, because they've heard all the jokes, you know, cigars and stuff, is that this was a true love affair.

说起来是个笑话，由于我初来乍到，远远望去不知那是艺术造型，误认为是一群真人了。

As a matter of fact, it seemed as a joke. Because I was new here so I did not know it is only some ornamental moulds and I mistook it as a group of reality.
