  1. 寧芝, 又改過一遍:

    Draft 4+1:
    《神偷奶爸》是一個優質的動畫電影,故事很特別是因為電影的主角其實是反派的角色。主角叫Gru,在電影裡,觀眾看他努力成為最臭名昭著的壞人,但是有一個比較年輕的壞人叫Vector,已經偷了埃及的金字塔,所以Gru得做(add出)(add一個)更大的罪(not行use案),比如偷月球。而且,為了取得最壞歹徒的頭銜Gru(not提use想)出一個計畫:Gru認領了三個女孩,(add讓)她們賣(delete了)餅乾(add給)Vector,(add他)一定(add不會懷疑)(delete買了餅乾),然後傳送餅乾的時候,Gru(add會)偷回Vector從Gru偷(add走)的皺縮槍。這個電影又可愛又幽默,也有很好的訊息,表示主角自己的(add內心)發展(add和改變),他反而成為了真正的好人。不管幾歲的觀眾一定都會喜歡這(not片use部)電影。

  6. translation “Cell Phone”

    30年前,还是个山里娃的严守一操着浓重的乡音第一次拨通了长途电话,30年后的他却成为“靠嘴皮子吃饭”的著名电视节目主持人,主持着一档叫做《有一说一》的电视节目。一天,严守一去台里做节目时“不慎”将手机忘在了家里,这个小小的失误却让妻子于文娟发现了他与一个女人之间的秘密……
    30 years ago, in the mountains was a “baby” Yan Shouyi that spoke with a think accent and called the first long-distance phone call. 30 years later, he became “dependent on his ready tongue for his meals” as a host on the famous TV program, “If you have it, say it.” One day, when Yan Shouyi went to the station to do the program, he accidently forgot his cell phone at home. This small lapse of judgment nonetheless let his wife, Yuwen Juan, discover his affair with another woman…

    为了蒙蔽妻子,严守一谎称在电视台与特约策划人费墨先生开会,实际上却是与情人、某出版社编辑武月幽会,这些都被于文娟识破。与武月幽会的证据确凿,一切都不言自明,严守一与于文娟离了婚……
    In order to deceive his wife, Yan Shouyi lied that he was at the TV station with the planner, Mr. Fei Mo, in a meeting. In reality, he was with his lover, publishing Editor Wu Yue. These were all discovered by Yuwen Juan; both the lies and secret meetings with Wu Yue because they were so evident that it led to Yan Shouyi and Yuwen Juan’s divorce…

    沈雪,戏剧学院台词课的老师,在主持人台词短训班上做严守一等“名嘴们”的老师。半年的短训班结束了,沈、严二人的关系也发生了微妙的变化。经过比较,严守一还是觉得沈雪好,甚至打算娶她。
    Shen Xue, a college drama teacher, came to do short training courses on TV actor lines to help in maintaining a “popular TV host.” A half year of short training courses ended, Shen and Yan’s relationship started to form and subtly change.

    于文娟离婚后,生下了她和严守一的孩子,严守一为了联络方便,给文娟买了部女士手机,沈雪发现后,与严守一大吵一架,二人之间出现了裂痕。不久,严守一、沈雪和武月三人在西餐厅的相遇,让沈雪怀疑二人旧情复发。从此,严守一对手机和日常的谈话产生了严重的恐惧……
    To compare, Yan Shouyi thought Shen Xue was better and even planned to marry her after he and Yuwen Juan divorced. After Yuwen gave birth to Yan Shouyi’s child, in order to make communication better, he gave Yuwen a cell phone. When Shen Xue found out, she had a big quarrel with Yan Shouyi. Their relationship then started to form cracks. Not long, Yan Shouyi, Shen Xue, and Wu Yue met in a restaurant that let Shen Xue be suspicious of the old affection between the two. From then on, Yan Shouyi had daily conversations that rose fear…

  7. 《手机》Screening Notes Translation:

    30 years ago, Yan Shuoyi had only heard someone else’s accent through the first time he made a long-distance phone call. 03 years later, he has become a successful TV program host of the show that people “rely on their words for food” called “You Yi Shuo Yi” One day, he was not careful as he was leaving his house and he left his cell phone at home. This small mistake enabled his wife to discover that he had a “Secret” with another woman.

    In order to deceive his wife, he maintained that there was a sponsor at the radio station called Mr. Fei Mo that was holding a meeting. In reality, Fei Mo is a publishing house editor named Wu Yue who is his secret lover. Yuwen Jian discovered this and presented the evidence to Shouyi and they divorced.

    Shen Xue is a script teacher at an acting academy. She meets Shouyi during a short course taught for the TV company. After the 6-month course is over, the relationship between the two has subtly changed. After comparing, Shouyi decides that Shen Xue is good, and even plans to marry her.

    After her divorce, Yu Wenjuan gave birth to a child. In order to communicate with her, Shouyi buys her a cell phone. Shen Xue finds out, and the two bave a big quarrel, and the two split up. Soon after, Shouyi, Shen xue, and Wu Yue encounter each other in a Western restaurant and it makes Shen Cun doubt the sincerity of their old relationship. After thar, Shouyi has a serious fear of cell phones and their daily conversations.

  8. 30 years ago there was a baby on a mountain, YanShouyi was speaking in a thick accent called the first long-distance telephone. 30 years later he became the famous TV show host of “rely on nothing but eating” and president of a show called “if it’s one call it one”. One day, YanShouyi accidentally forgot the phone at home while making a TV program in Taiwan. This small error allows the wife YuWenjuan to find his secrets with a woman and…

    In order to deceive his wife, YanShouyi lied and said he had a special meeting for television with Mr. Fei Mo, while in fact he was with his mistress, a publishing editor named Wu Yue. YuWenjuan discovered all this. She faced him with the evidence and asked for a divorce…

    Chen Xue, drama and diction teacher is having a short course to help people like Yanshouyi that host “ming zui men”. Over the short course of six months, the relationship between Yan and Shen changes and subtle changes take place. After the comparison, ShenXue and Yanshouyi still feel good, he even wants to marry her.

    After the divorce, YuWenjuan gave birth to a child. Both Yan Shouyi and his mistress, Wenjuan bought mobile phones, Shen Xue discovered and got in a big fight with Yanshouyi. Soon Yan Shouyi, ShenXue and WuYue meet up in a restaurant. Since then, YanShouyi fears having conversation through his cellphone.

  9. 《手机》screening notes:
    Thirty years ago, the mountain boy Yan Shouyi made a long distance call in his thick accent for the first time. Thirty years later, he has become the glib TV talk show host celebrity of “Let the Truth Speak.” One day, Yan Shouyi goes to Taiwan but is careless and forgets his cell phone at home. This tiny mistake lets his wife Yu Wenjuan realize that he and another women are carrying on an affair…

    To deceive his wife, Yan Shouyi claims that he was at the TV station in a meeting with his conspirator, Fei Mo. In fact, he was with his lover, a publishing editor name Wu Yue. Yu Wenjuan see through the lies. With evidence of the tryst with Wu Yue, there isn no need for explanation, and Yan Shouyi and Yu Wenjuan divorce.

    Chenxue, a drama teacher, is the short-term language teacher of TV hosts. Half a year later, with the end of the lessons, the relationship between Yan Shouyi and Shenxue has also changed subtly. Yan Shouyi thinks so well of her that he even plans to marry her.

    After the divorce, Yu Wenjuan gives birth to her and Yan Shouyi’s child. Yan Shouyi contacts her to help her, and buys a cell phone for her. Once Chenxue discovers it, she gets into an argument with him, and rift forms between the two. Before long, Yan Shouyi, Chen Xue, and Wu Yue all meet in a Western-style restaurant, and Chen Xue suspects that the other two have rekindled their old flame. From then on, Yan Shouyi comes to dread cell phones and everyday conversation.

    這個影評是關於中國導演馮小剛的一部電影叫《手機》。這部電影是拍給一般的觀眾看的,票房收入超過(add人民幣)5千萬, 也是獲獎的喜劇(instead of 電影use片),所以很受歡迎。故事內容著眼於在中國現代手機的作用,技術的快速發展影響人們的生活以及他們如何溝通。這部電影拍得很好可是導演的幽默太憤世嫉俗了。電影的黑色幽默讓人們很難喜歡 。

    《手機》很成功(add是)因為電影涉及到現代(delete化use社會)的變化。雖然《手機》(delete取得了use有)很好的評價,這部電影(add並沒有帶給觀眾一個)(delete不是給)(add輕鬆)浪漫的故事(delete人看。這部電影對愛很憤世嫉俗因為)(delete中的),人物(add也)並不(add都)讓觀眾(add喜)愛(delete他們)。電影的主題在說人們的生活被出賣了,(delete因為)他們說的(add謊)話( instead of是use代表)人性的弱點,被手機技術放大。影片的主(not決should be角),嚴守一,是一個(delete強映的性質)(add不值得)同情(add的人物),因為他為了跟其他的女人有外遇,(delete他)創造很多謊言。他的手機幫助他建立他的謊言網站,(add但是)有一天(move當他的妻子here)(wrong那use拿)起他的電話(add接聽時),(add他的黃研究被揭穿),(add進而)毀了他的世界。從那(wrong是should be時)起,我們看到嚴守一的電話和謊言破壞(add了)他的每個關係(delete被因為)。這(delete點因幀的問題,)(add讓觀眾開始懷疑)是否(not老use以前)簡單的生活(add沒有高科技)比較好。還有,《手機》(Not股市should be故事)裡並沒有任何道德(add標準),因此,觀眾(delete經常看電影)(add會)認為(not它use問題)沒有真正的解決。嚴守一直到最後還是說假話,(delete也沒有充分承諾他的關係。)(add也沒有)從他的破碎的生活(add中,)(delete很多人認為他應該)汲取(add到)教訓。

  12. (Approved) Final copy:

    知名香港導演王晶在1991年所拍的《賭俠2之上海灘賭聖》是《賭俠》的續集. 大軍(程東飾)因在《賭俠》的賭場上敗給阿星(周星馳飾), 下定決心要向阿星報仇. 大軍跟師弟們對阿星發功圍鬥阿星時, 發生了時空倒流. 因此, 阿星, 他的三叔(吳孟達飾)和大軍返回到1937年的上海. 阿星在上海歷經辛苦, 最後在大軍的幫助下贏了一場重要的賭局也回到1991年的香港. 這部娛樂性很高的笑片還描述一個愛情故事,是一部值得看的喜劇.

    第一部《賭俠》上演的時候很受歡迎,所以《賭俠2》上演後在票房上也獲得成功。這部電影在很多方面都會吸引觀眾。首先,《賭俠2》最搞笑的一點是有一些賭徒懂得特異功能,所以在賭場上的賭博其實並不是真正的賭博而是異常功力的挑戰。其次,這部電影用的演員都是很有名的,包括搞笑影帝周星馳和國際知名的中國女演員鞏俐。再次,這部電影沒有限級,很適合全家大小一起看。

    《賭俠2》是一部很有娛樂價值的電影,可以讓觀眾輕輕鬆鬆地觀看,也不需要他們用腦筋反思。雖然這部電影很好看,可是真的沒有甚麼教育意義。所以如果就是一般觀眾,不想從電影中學甚麼新的東西,那就一定會喜歡看這部電影的。

    English Review: http://www.brns.com/pages4/schow22.html

  13. (Approved) Final copy:

    《神偷奶爸》是一個優質的動畫電影,故事很特別是因為電影的主角其實是反派的角色。主角叫Gru,在電影裡,觀眾看他努力成為最臭名昭著的壞人,但是有一個比較年輕的壞人叫Vector,已經偷了埃及的金字塔,所以Gru得做出一個更大的罪案,比如偷月球。而且,為了取得最壞歹徒的頭銜,Gru想出一個計畫:Gru認領了三個女孩,讓她們賣餅乾給Vector,他一定不會懷疑,然後傳送餅乾的時候,Gru會偷回Vector從Gru偷走的皺縮槍。這個電影又可愛又幽默,也有很好的訊息,表示主角自己的內心發展和改變,他反而成為了真正的好人。不管幾歲的觀眾一定都會喜歡這部電影。

    《神偷奶爸》有幾個強點。首先,從制作質量來看,這部電影是優質的作品。動畫都很漂亮,顏色都很醒目,動畫制作者重視每個細節。其次,在提供聲音的演員裡,有很有名的人物。比如Julie Andrews, Steve Carrell, Jason Segal, 和Russell Brand。Julie Andrews (朱莉。安德魯絲) 非常知名,她在《音樂之聲》和《歡樂滿人間》唱歌表演。另外三個演員都是知名的喜劇演員。再次,是《神偷奶爸》的故事,有很好的訊息,有一點像聖誕怪傑的故事。 Gru收養的小女孩觸動他的感情,讓他改善個性,不再是一個壞人了。

    總的來說,《神偷奶爸》是值得看的。如果你不喜歡看動畫片或兒童片,可能不會欣賞這部電影。但是,《神偷奶爸》不一定只是孩子愛看的電影,而是所有觀眾都會喜歡的。

    Yes, you should find Chinese translation of the names in English, including the director’s name and the characters’ names. Do not try to translate themselves yourself, find the standard translation or from the Chinese synopsis of the film. Sarah should probably be “沙莉” – a standard translation of this name.

    [move this point to the last paragraph: see corrections below in the 3rd paragraph.但是,这部电影的故事不是全都是商业的,因为有的部分要表达一两个重要社会或文化的讯息。最重要的讯息是澳大利亚的“失窃代”(Stolen Generation),是因为澳大利亚的外面,很少个人知道当那个时候原住民的困难。对电影的社会讯息来说,可能觉得《澳大利亚》是一个艺术电影。]

  15. (Approved) Final copy:

    《別讓我走》是2010年的一部英國電影。馬克•羅曼尼克是導演。這部電影是凱莉•穆里根主演的,姬拉•麗莉和安德魯•加菲爾德是配角。故事很不尋常,是日裔英國作家石黑一雄寫的,從三個寄宿學校學生和他們之間的三角戀說到這三個學生怎麼發現並接受他們存在的目的。《別讓我走》很有藝術價值,故事闡明友情關係和人性,也有反烏托邦的主題。

    從電影攝影來看,這部電影充滿懷情和色彩的場景,安靜增加心情的暗淡,所以觀眾更可以感覺出人物的悲痛。死亡威脅主角人物的前途,但他們好像已經聽天由命。除了死亡的主題以外,故事也說卡西對她朋友湯米的單相思和他們的複雜感情。這部電影分析現代社會的人情關係,讓觀眾反思愛情的重要性。這些主題都涉及到存在的問題,是否生活有目的,也探問怎麼充分利用短暫的一生。

    《別讓我走》是一部很有藝術價值的電影,主題又深奧又沈重,節奏比較慢,可是拍得很好,演員的表演也是極為精彩的。雖然《別讓我走》是一部很難讓觀眾接受的電影,但是還是獲得評論界的喝彩。

  16. (Approved) Final copy:

    這個影評是關於中國導演馮小剛的一部電影叫《手機》。這部電影是拍給一般的觀眾看的,票房收入超過人民幣5千萬, 也是獲獎的喜劇片,所以很受歡迎。故事內容著眼於在中國現代手機的作用,技術的快速發展影響人們的生活以及他們如何溝通。這部電影拍得很好可是導演的幽默太憤世嫉俗了。電影的黑色幽默讓人們很難喜歡 。

    《手機》很成功是因為電影涉及到現代社會的變化。雖然《手機》有很好的評價,這部電影並沒有帶給觀眾一個輕鬆浪漫的故事,人物也並不都讓觀眾喜愛。電影的主題在說人們的生活被出賣了,他們說的謊話代表人性的弱點,被手機技術放大。影片的主角,嚴守一,是一個不值得同情的人物,因為他為了跟其他的女人有外遇,創造很多謊言。他的手機幫助他建立他的謊言網站,但是有一天當他的妻子拿起他的電話接聽時,他的謊言就被揭穿,進而毀了他的世界。從那時起,我們看到嚴守一的電話和謊言破壞了他的每個關係。這讓觀眾開始懷疑是否以前簡單的生活沒有高科技比較好。還有,《手機》故事裡並沒有任何道德標準,因此,觀眾會認為問題沒有真正的解決。嚴守一直到最後還是說假話,也沒有從他的破碎的生活中,汲取到教訓。

    《手機》的黑色幽默和憤世嫉俗的故事無法提出一個道德標準。這樣的寫實電影應該嘗試提供一個解決方案,顯示錯誤,帶給觀眾希望。雖然影片有一些好笑的鏡頭來補救故事的嚴重性,但不忠的丈夫反映出現實社會中的一個嚴重問題。《手機》令人感到沉重的感覺在心裡,雖然拍得很好,但絕不是一部讓觀眾感到輕鬆的喜劇。

  17. 和你在一起
    陈凯歌的《和你在一起》是在中国电影史上最著名的电影之一。这部电影表达现代社会对父子关系的影响。有些部分使用隐藏摄像机拍摄所以陈凯歌能够捕捉到北京地道的本质。虽然故事情节有点儿矫情也可以预测的,但是演员演技非常好还有摄影是特别感人,让电影很有震撼力。
    电影提到一个主题是新旧两代之间的冲突。这种对比出现在不同的场景。首先姜教授住在一个传统和拥挤的小胡同,而余教授住在一个无菌的现代建筑。其次=当余教授建议小春离开他的父亲跟他同住,他本质上是要求他离开传统的旧生活。再次,他要享受他的童年,而他的父亲只是希望他取得成功
    这部电影也有交待不清楚的方面就是小春和丽丽之间的关系。看起来甘进入青春期的小春特别喜欢丽丽,但是电影没有进一步探索这种关系方面。
    这部电影最好的镜头是音乐场景。演小春的唐韵不是一个非常有经验的专业演员,但他是一个音乐神童,所以当他拉小提琴时,他演得很自然,也拉得非常好。
    总体来说《和你在一起》是一个天才的音乐家成长的经典故事,但是陈凯歌拍得非常好而摄影是特别感人。

    1st Paragraph
    《英雄》,一部2002年的中国电影,是张艺谋导演(add的)。这部电影(add的)(delete是艺术和商业电影,是因为)故事关于中国重要(move的here)历史事件;特技效果(delete是高雅的use非常精彩),增加剧情(add的可看性)。(Not评论员use一般影评都)觉得《英雄》(add是一部成功的商业电影)(add,但)也有艺术价值。(delete,是因为)剧情(delete反映use论及)统一中国的好坏(add和)有得有失(add的后果),(add是一个中国人民和政府都一向关心的题目)。
    2nd Paragraph
    • One innovative technique of the film is the use of different color schemes to reflect different characters’ retelling of the story. It is revealed that Nameless deceived the king in order to get close to him, and the king suspects that this is the case. Nameless’ recollection is primarily in red, because his recollection involves conflict and battle. When Broken Sword recalls, his recollection is a peaceful white to coincide with his realization & acceptance that peace can only be achieved by unification and not by assassination as he believed for so long.
    • A second technique, although a controversial one, is the allegory of a strong central government. It is speculated that the director uses the final acceptance of a unified China to promote China’s current place in the world, and to show that a strong government will help with the upcoming Olympic Games and World Expo. Nameless is killed as a traitor but buried as a hero because he did not assassinate the emperor.
    • Finally, the film uses martial arts to tie into the importance of Chinese culture and discipline. When Nameless and Sky fight in the weiqi parlor, the police let the two do battle as an old man plays the guqin. When the Zhao compound is attacked, the master makes the students do calligraphy and they are saved from the arrows.

    (add张艺谋在《英雄》中采用一些)新颖的手法,(add最让观众注意到的) (delete拿故事来说,) 是(add他)用不同的颜色(delete为了)(add来)代表(delete了)不同人物(add从不同角度)(delete的)描述故事。(delete透露了无名)无名回忆起(add他)欺骗为了(delete离他)走近点儿(add去刺杀)秦始皇的时候,(delete当然秦始皇就质疑了。)(add镜头)主要(add呈现出)(delete地)(add的场景都)是红色的。(add这代表)(delete是因为)他的回忆(delete起)有关冲突,(delete大)战(add争)等。残剑的回忆(delete起时候,是)安全的白色,(add这象征)(delete跟)他(delete的)意识(add到)(delete,接受的相一致。)和平实现的道(add路)(delete只use应该)是统一,而不是残剑(delete很久以为use一直想做)的暗杀。

So what’s the morel of this? He did not kill the Emperor. What’s the symbolism here? If you cannot explain this with a short comment, consider deleting the last sentence. Your point here is simply about Zhang’s technique.

    [(This is really not a technique。 I suggest that you end the second paragraph and add this last point into your last paragraph.)第三个手法就是用武侠代表中国传统文化和纪律的重要性。无名跟长空在围棋会客室做站,公安允许两个人斗殴,当一个老人弹古琴的时候。赵场地遭到袭击,师傅让学生写书法,结果他们都被箭保全。]

    3rd Paragraph

  19. (Approved) Fnal Copy

    《英雄》,一部2002年的中国电影,是张艺谋导演的。这部电影的故事关于中国重要的历史事件;特技效果非常精彩,增加剧情的可看性。一般影评都觉得《英雄》是一部成功的商业电影,但也有艺术价值。剧情论及统一中国的好坏和有得有失的后果,是一个中国人民和政府都一向关心的题目。

    张艺谋在《英雄》中采用一些新颖的手法,最让观众注意到的是他用不同的颜色来代表不同人物从不同角度描述故事。无名回忆起他为了走近点儿去刺杀秦始皇的时候,镜头主要呈现出的场景都是红色的。这代表他的回忆有关冲突,战争等。残剑的回忆是安全的白色,这象征他意识到和平实现的道路应该是统一,而不是残剑一直想做的暗杀。
另一个手法很有争议性的,就是把电影拍成一部寓言,用强大的秦朝来象征集权的中央政府。有人猜测张艺谋是要用统一中国的结局来促进中国改善现在的状态,表现对当时即将来到的奥运会和世界博览会的期望。无名死时作为一个叛徒,但是葬身时成为英雄。

    最让观众激赏的一段是无名跟长空在围棋会客室做战,一个老人在一边弹着古琴。另外一段是当赵家遭到袭击,师傅却让学生继续写书法,结果箭都没有伤到他们。这是导演用武侠故事代表中国传统文化和纪律的重要性。但是复杂的剧情和带有民族主义宣传的讯息让《英雄》受到了一些批评,尽管如此,这部电影还是有很高的娱乐性。至少,观众会享受壮丽的色彩,风景和专业水平的武侠打斗。总而言之,这部电影是值得大大推荐的。

    《颶風營救》(Taken) 是一個懸疑的動作電影,主演是名演員利亞姆尼森 (Liam Neeson)。《颶風營救》是2009 年的一部法美合作拍攝的電影,是關於一個退休的政府官員。他的女兒被綁架,他決心找回她。因為故事的真實性,這部電影不適合年幼的孩子觀看。喜歡看懸疑片或者動作片的觀眾,一定會喜歡看《颶風營救》的。

    《颶風營救》有幾個強點。首先,這部電影的情節令人興奮的。觀眾被懸疑的故事吸引,而不會覺得無聊或節奏太慢。其次,演員演技都很好。雖然只有一位著名演員利亞姆尼森 (Liam Neeson),其他的演員也都演得很好。最後,這部電影的故事很有意思。雖然有些地方不切實際,但是提出的道德標準是明確的,觀眾可以認同。也就是說不管發生什麼事,父母一定會救自己的孩子。

    這部電影是一部非常成功的商業片,很受歡迎,票房也很賣座。成功的原因主要是因為很讓觀眾感動。雖然這部電影很有意思也好看,對小孩子不合適。但是成人觀眾一定會欣賞這個電影的。

    (Approved) Final Copy

    Gran Torino《驅·逐》是2008年美国拍的文艺片。导演制作人和主角都是 Clint Eastwood(奇連.依士活)。这个电影全世界卖座超过2.6亿美元,被认为是一个成功的商业片。虽然这个电影是商业片,但是有很高的艺术价值。有一些重要的主题,其中包括家庭的疏远,也提到种族的問題和调解的过程。所有的这些主题对现代美国社会的种种现象都很贴题也很重要。

    这个电影受到评论家一致好评。有很多原因让这个电影成功了。首先,依士活是导演和演员。他很有名, 也是票房成功的保证。因此很多人要看他的电影。其次,很多依士活的电影有贴题的故事,内容比较有深度,人物也进步了。再次,这个电影有比较大的预算,三千三百万美金。依士活的名氣和很大的預算都是制作一部吸引大众的商业片的重要因素。

    这个电影因为故事的社会主题和焦点是非常重要也有意义的,再加上导演和演员的声望,所以赢了一些电影奖。虽然这个电影很有意思也好看,但是 对小孩子不合适。成人观众会欣赏这个电影的。

    这篇评论分析Tim Burton 1990年拍摄的美國电影叫《剪刀手爱德华》。这部电影是1990年12月14日在美国一般电影院上映的。电影说的是爱德华的故事,他的角色是由Johnny Depp演的。爱德华不是个真正的男人,他是一个创造出来的机器发明。他从城堡里的一个很奇怪的机器成为名人的发型设计师。后来他爱上了一个女孩,机器人和女孩的爱情造成一些问题。这部片子拍得很成功,电影导演得也非常好。这部电影最重要的题目是迎接陌生人,因为它会容易地让观众想想陌生人刚刚进入新社会的感觉,所以值得推荐。

    这一部电影有三个重要性:首先,Tim Burton谈陌生人刚刚到个新的地方的问题是因为那个时代有很多外国人来美国找工作。爱德华到这个非常好看非常开心的城市,他一个人都不认识。除了没有朋友以外,爱德华还是一个很奇怪的机器,所以每个人见他就很害怕。这是每个陌生人的问题,不是只是爱德华。其次、电影也说陌生人刚刚到个新的地方的适应力和当地社会对他们的接受力。来美国找工作的移民跟后来爱德华一样习惯了新的生活。可是不是所有人都能接受新移民。

    另外拍摄这部电影的时候,Johnny Depp 还没有名,这是他的第一部让他成名的艺术电影。他在这一部电影以前拍摄过《Platoon》,也是一部很有名的电影。但是在那部他的角色很小演爱德华是他他最喜欢,最习惯演的角色。从《剪刀手爱德华》以后他是每一年最少拍一部电影的成名演员。

    这是一部拍得最好的艺术电影,非常值得推荐。

    《澳大利亚》是澳大利亚导演巴兹•鲁曼(Baz Luhrmann)拍的电影,2008年11月26日在美国和澳大利亚同时发行的。这部电影的故事就是以澳大利亚第二次世界大战的历史为背景。故事随着一个英国小姐沙莉(妮可・基德曼)来到澳大利亚,她的丈夫在那儿工作养牛养羊。没想到她刚来的时候丈夫就死了,所以自己得面对农庄和当时社会的问题。《澳大利亚》赢得了三个大奖:最佳摄影,最佳视觉效果,也是最佳制片。这部电影的故事让观众重新面对第二次世界大战。

    《澳大利亚》的成功可能就是因为这部片子的故事是很商业化的。首先,这部电影里面的冲突都是非常有戏剧性的。比方说,女主人沙莉逃离叫费车 (戴维•韦纳姆) 的坏人自己赶着牛羊到达尔文港去。其次,《澳大利亚》描写的故事非常能激起澳洲人的爱国心。故事的背景就是说日本军队侵略澳洲到达尔文港和后来澳大利亚军队怎么赢了战争。再次,电影描写的爱情和亲情都很能让观众认同。女主人沙莉失去了她的爱人卓卧(休・杰克曼),澳大利亚政府官又把她救的小孩诺拉带去一个集中营,女主人沙莉感觉溃败的时候,观众都被她感动了。

    《澳大利亚》看起来是一部商业片,有爱国浪漫的故事,只要赚钱,可是这部片子也要表达一些重要的社会或文化的讯息,比方说,故事里面提到澳大利亚的原住民,也就是“失窃的一代”和那个时候他们所面临的困难。所以这部片子不只是商业化的,可能也要表达一些艺术电影想传达的讯息吧。《澳大利亚》结合商业片和艺术片的特点,是一部值得推荐的好电影。

  26. 《手机》英文翻译

    30 years ago in a mountain village, a young Yan Shouyi made his first long distance call with his heavy accent – 30 years later he has become the well-known host for the television program “Rely on Eating with a Clever Lips,” and is in charge of the television program “If You Have Something to Say, Say it.” One day, Yan Shouyi travels to Taiwan to film a program, but forgets his cellphone at home. This small mistake allows his wife Yu Wenjuan to learn that Yan Shouyi is keeping a secret from her.

    In order to deceive his wife, Yan Shouyi claims that he is ‘in a meeting’ at the TV station with his fellow plotter and friend Mr. Fei Mo, when in reality he is rendezvousing with his lover, the publishing editor Wu Yue. Unfortunately for Yan Shouyi, Yu Wenjuan sees through all of these schemes. With irrefutable evidence of Yan Shouyi’s meetings with Wu Yue, they break off their marriage.

    Shen Xue is a professor of diction and script work at a theater college, and the instructor of the diction and script course for popular TV hosts that Yan Shouyi is required to take. After the end of the course, the relationship between Yan Shouyi and Shenxue experiences a subtle change. By comparison, Yan Shouyi holds Shenxue in high regard, so much so that he even wants to make her his wife.

    After Yu Wenjuan divorced Yan Shouyi, she gave birth to her and Yan Shouyi’s child. For ease of communication, Yan Shouyi gave Yu Wenjuan a cellphone that he bought for her. After Shenxue found out, she had a loud quarrel with Yan Shouyi, a crack in the relationship appearing between the two. Not long after, Yan Shouyi and his mistress Wu Yue had an encounter with Shenxue at a western restaurant, causing Shenxue to once again doubt the relationship between herself and Yan Shouyi. Since then, Yan Shouyi has developed a severe phobia of cellphones and daily conversations.
