如何成为福尔摩斯 第27期

 　　14*9 From 2009, cinema and television audiences have been treated to not one, but two new Sherlocks, in the shapes of Benedict Cumberbatch...and Robert Downey Jr.

　　从2009年开始，电影和电视观众们看到了不只一个，而是两个全新的夏洛克，分别由本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇和小罗伯特·唐尼扮演。

　　Their successes mark a huge revival¹ in the character, not witnessed since the 1970s.

　　他们的成功昭示着这一形象在20世纪70年代后又一次复兴。

　　In tune² with today's vogue³ for the superhero, Downey Jr gives us Holmes the Victorian man of action, as in this fight scene, where he is able to see in slow-motion into the future - a device which has been described by the film's director Guy Ritchie as Holmesavision.

　　为迎合现今超级英雄的潮流，小唐尼扮演的维多利亚时代的福尔摩斯身手不凡，就像在这个打斗场面中，他能预测对手的出拳路数，该片导演盖·里奇称之为"福尔摩斯预见力"。

　　Dislocate jaw⁴ entirely⁵. Heel kick to diaphragm.

　　使下巴彻底脱臼，踢向横膈膜。

　　In summary, ears ringing, jaw fractured, three ribs⁶ cracked, four broken, diaphragm haemorrhaging. Physical recovery - six weeks. Full psychological recovery - six months.

　　总结，耳鸣、下颚骨折、肋骨三根粉碎、四根骨折、横膈膜大出血。身体康复是六周。心理康复是六个月。

　　Guy Ritchie offers us a streetwise and swashbuckling Sherlock, inhabiting a fantasy Victorian world.

　　盖·里奇呈现出的是幻想中维多利亚世界里精明而张扬的夏洛克形象。

　　It's a comic-strip version of Conan Doyle, with lots of technology. It's steampunkish, a kind of comic-strip 19th Century.

　　这是柯南·道尔故事的漫画版，还自带高科技。画面很蒸汽朋克，带点漫画感的十九世纪。

　　If Downey Jr is Holmes as a superhero, then Cumberbatch is Holmes as a reluctant one.

　　如果小唐尼版的福尔摩斯是超级英雄，那么康伯巴奇的福尔摩斯则是不情愿成为英雄的。

　　I've disappointed.That's good. It's a good deduction⁷.

　　我让你失望了。很好，推论得一点不错。
