VOA常速英语:银翼杀手2049震撼来袭

Every leap of civilization was built off the back of slaves.Replicants are the future, but I can only make so many.
文明的每一次飞跃靠的都是奴隶的巨大贡献。复制人才是未来，但我也就只能制造这么多出来。

30 years after violently putting down a revolt by bioengineered near-humans, called replicants,they’ve been redesigned to obey them unconditionally. “This is wrong.”
30年前，人类暴力镇压了生物工程亚人（复制人）的反抗行动，30年后，他们又开始重新设计复制人，这一次的目标则是要复制人无条件地服从他们。“这是不对的。”

However, in Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049, replicants are again surprising their creators.
然而，在丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦执导的电影《银翼杀手2049》中，复制人又再次出乎了创造者的意料。

Lieutenant Joshi of the Los Angeles Police sends Blade Runner "K" to deal with the problem.
于是洛杉矶警方的乔西派出银翼杀手“K”来解决这个问题。

There is an order to things.That’s what we do here.We keep order.The world is built on a wall that separates kind. Tell either side there’s no wall, you bought a war.
万物都有规则。这就是我们要在这里做的。我们要维持秩序。这个世界有一堵墙，将不同物种分离开来。告诉墙两边的人，这个世界其实并没有墙，是你们带来了战争。

Joshi’s words resonate with today’s political realities, where walls and fences built across the planet aim to restrict the flow of humanity, dividing the “privileged“ from the “undesired.“
由乔西的话可以联想到当今的政治现实，人们在地球上大肆兴建墙壁和围栏，只为了限制人类流动，并将“特权阶级”和“不受欢迎的人”分离开来。

Robin Wright plays Joshi.
罗宾·莱特是电影中乔西的饰演者。

It’s a story about trying to seek your identity in this near future world.What does it mean to be human anymore, and try and maintain love and connection as we know it today?"
“电影讲述了一个在不久的未来世界中寻求身份认同的故事。成为一个人意味着什么，努力去维护爱与联系又意味着什么？”

Ryan Gosling interprets Blade Runner K, a police officer and a replicant himself, programmed to exterminate his own kind.Along the way, he comes face to face with his own humanity.
银翼杀手K是一名警察，同时也是一个复制人，瑞恩·戈斯林解释说，K计划要灭绝自己的同类。而在这整个过程中，他一直在不断地面对自己的人性。

When you meet the character, he is sort of at odds with his station in life and he is looking for some kind of connection,and, you know, love and happiness in all of that, in amongst this sort of nightmare that they are all living in."
“当你看到这个角色的时候，会发现他与自己生活中的身份有很大差异，他一直在大家都生活的噩梦之中寻找某种联系，还有爱与幸福。”

I did your job once. I was good at it.
我以前也干过你的工作。而且干的还不错。

Harrison Ford reprises his original Blade Runner character as Officer Rick Deckard who teams up with K on his mission.
哈里森·福特再一次出演了自己在原版《银翼杀手》中的角色——里克·戴卡德警官，并与K合作完成了任务。

The storyline of Blade Runner 2049 cannot match the original.
而《银翼杀手2049》中的情节与原版其实并不相同。

We were being hunted!By who?
我们被追杀了。被谁？

But Roger Deakins’ cinematic precision on large empty landscapes and muted colors and Hans Zimmer’s unnerving music evoke loneliness in a vanguard sequel.
罗杰·迪肯斯在拍摄大片空旷的景观以及暗色调时精准的手法，再加上汉斯·齐默那令人紧张的音乐，都在续集中营造了一种强烈的孤独感。

The challenges with the environment have progressed at the point where there are life-and-death issues,and science has loosened its moral constraints."
“在面临生与死的问题上，环境方面所面临的挑战已经取得进展，科学也放松了道德上的限制。”

Denis Villeneuve anchored his idea in the original Blade Runner but finds his own vision reflecting our social and political anxieties, 30 years later.
丹尼斯·维伦纽夫把自己的想法放到了原版《银翼杀手》中，却没想到竟在30年后的今天反映出我们的社会和政治焦虑。
