英文电影介绍·哭泣游戏

　　The Crying Game
　　又译：乱世浮生

　　This highly original film put screenwriter-director Neil Jordan on the
international map. The story begins at a carnival in Ireland with British soldier Jody (Forest Whitaker) kidnapped by IRA terrorists Jude (Miranda Richardson) and Fergus (Stephen Rea). Fergus is assigned to guard Jody, and they become friends. After the kidnapping goes horribly wrong, Fergus escapes to London to track down Jody's girlfriend, Dil (Jaye Davidson), to fulfill a promise to Jody and ends up falling in love with her. The only problem--well, it's not the only problem--is Jude has also come to London with news that the IRA is after Fergus and has a dangerous new mission in mind.

　　以上有两个地方有点困惑。我详细予以说明。

　　1 After the kidnapping goes horribly

　　wrong按字面它的意思是'绑架发生可怕错误后'这里英文原文说的不够详细。看中文介绍才明白原来Jody遭绑架后，有次乘机逃跑，但不幸身亡。那么我不知外国人看了这句能否明白。总之，如果中文写成'绑架发生可怕错误后'我想许多中国人读了都不知所云。当然也有可能是原文故弄玄虚，做广告而已。

　　2 ends up falling in love with herend up

　　按金山和朗道的解释是竖着，结束，死的意思。看上下文它绝不是这些解释。看中文介绍原意是Fergus跑到伦敦找到Jody的女朋友，并最后爱上了她。这说明不要太迷信词典，只能做参考。不过中文介绍中最后Fergus发现Jody的女朋友是个男身。有谁看过这部电影吗，能解释一下。

　　A sensation during its original release for its controversial plot development,
　　THE CRYING GAME went on to win several awards and remains a tender and thrilling viewing experience. Jordan's script bristles with wit and intelligence, and the
plentiful symbolic imagery shows the hand of a true artist. Ian Wilson's photography beautifully captures the various locales of London and rural Ireland. Boy George sings the title song,
