蝙蝠侠双亲现身动漫展演绎经典镜头

 　　So, let's say you're heading to a comic-con¹ of some sort. You've spent all month preparing your costume, you've sewn a ridiculous number of pockets onto your utility belt, and you've recruited a small child to play Robin².

　　假如，你正准备去参加某个地方的漫展。你花了整整一个月的时间准备你的服装，你在你的功能腰带上缝了太多小口袋，还雇了一个小孩来扮演罗宾。

　　In short, you're Batman.

　　总之，你就是蝙蝠侠。

　　You arrive at the 'con, and start to make your way around. And then, this happens:

　　你到了动漫展上，开始到处转悠。结果发生了下面一幕：

　　Yup, you walk around a corner, and watch as a well dressed couple run up to you, yell 'son,' and then fall down to the ground exactly like this picture.

　　哎呀，你转过一个墙角，忽然，一对装扮非常到位的夫妇向你冲过来，大喊一句“儿子啊”，然后倒在地上猝然长逝，正如照片上的那样。

　　You watch as two cosplayers completely win at Batman - in just about the darkest (and greatest) way possible.

　　你眼睁睁的看着这两个角色扮演者把蝙蝠侠的风头全都抢去了——用最黑暗（也是最完美）的方法。

　　This is watching Bruce Wayne's parents die in front of you- and there is no word strong enough to express that level of emotion.

　　这就是眼睁睁的看着布鲁斯·韦恩（即后来的蝙蝠侠）的双亲在你的眼前死去啊——这种程度的悲伤太过强烈，无法用任何言语表达。

　　Take a bow, mysterious, Thomas and Martha Wayne-impersonating Bat-Cosplay ers. You're officially awesome³.

　　让我们暗自对这对饰演了蝙蝠侠的双亲，托马斯·韦恩和玛莎·韦恩夫妇的角色扮演者作一个揖吧。你们真是太赞了！

　　The scene reminded people of what they must have just seen weeks ago from the newly released American crime television series of Gotham which tells the story behind Commissioner⁴ James Gordon's rise to prominence⁵ in Gotham City in the years before Batman's arrival.

　　这一幕让人们联想起数周前他们在新播出的美国警匪连续剧，《哥谭镇》中看到的场景。该剧讲述了哥谭镇里，蝙蝠侠出现之前，警监詹姆士·戈登的成名之路。

　　In crime ridden Gotham City, Thomas and Martha Wayne are murdered before young Bruce Wayne's eyes. Although the idealistic Gotham City Police Dept. detective James Gordon, and his cynical⁶ partner, Harvey Bullock, seem to solve the case quickly, things are not so simple.

　　在犯罪肆虐的哥谭镇，托马斯·韦恩和玛莎·韦恩夫妇在小布鲁斯·韦恩的面前被杀害了。在哥谭镇的警署里，心怀崇高理想的警探詹姆士·戈登和他愤世嫉俗的搭档哈维·波洛克很快就解决了这个案子，虽然看似如此，但事情似乎没有这么简单。

　　All the while, young Bruce observes a growing obsession⁷ that would one day drive him to seek his own revenge as The Batman.

　　与此同时，小布鲁斯发现自己越来越沉迷于某种神秘的力量，正是这种沉迷，将在未来某日促使他成为蝙蝠侠，为父母报仇。
