点击视频回顾这则感人的公益广告:
狗是人类最好的朋友,许多电影中都有它们的身影,而关于它们的故事无一例外都有一个共同特点:温暖、感人、催泪。
今天双语君(微信ID:Chinadaily_Mobile)推荐几部好看的狗狗电影,春节在家和家人一起温馨地看起来吧。
Hachi: A Dog's Tale
八公也许是荧幕上最有名的一只狗了。
大多数人知道这只秋田犬,大概都是通过美国版的《忠犬八公的故事》。
但实际上,这是一个上世纪20年代发生在日本的真实故事。早在1987年,日本就将八公的故事搬上了荧幕。
日本电影《八公物语》非常温馨感人
Inspired by real events that occurred in 1920s Japan, as well as the 1987 Nipponese blockbuster “Hachiko monogatari”, the script by Stephen P. Lindsay transposes the action to a small New England town in the 1990s.
编剧斯蒂芬·林赛从二十世纪20年代日本发生的真实故事和1987年拍摄的日本电影《八公物语》中获得灵感,编写了这一剧本,将故事的背景转移到了1990年代的美国新英格兰地区的小镇。
Parker is a college professor who finds Hachi, an abandoned dog and takes the poor lost animal in.
帕克(Parker)是一名大学教授,他发现了走失的小狗“八公”,把它带回了家。
八公就像一个从天而降的礼物,给帕克教授带来温暖和爱。
He accompanies Parker to the train station and returns again to escort him home every day.
八公每天都送帕克去车站,帕克下班的点儿八公又跑去车站接他。
When the day comes that Parker doesn’t get off the train, Hachi is unable to process the notion that his master will not return.
终于有一天,帕克病逝,下车的人群中再也没有他的影子。八公不知道主人再也不会回来了。
For 10 years, progressively more broken in body, he stands vigil at the station.
以后十年间,八公逐渐年迈体衰,但它还是每日守候在车站,等待主人归来。
vigil:守夜;值班
电影经常从八公的视角展现故事,最戳人心的一幕是它最后合上眼前,幻想着车站的门再次打开,教授走了出来,它开心地迎上去冲进主人的怀抱。
影评人Alissa Simon谈到电影浓墨重彩的温情抒发 :
The theme of time passing and never forgetting the one you loved is most likely to resonate with older viewers.
时间流逝、铭记所爱之人的主题可能会让许多年长的观众产生共鸣。
The dog’s silent distress and dignity will move all but the hardest hearts.
最铁石心肠的人,都会感动于八公无言的悲痛和尊严。
Yet the film is as much about the emotional fallout of death as about a dog’s loyalty and devotion.
影片讲述的既是狗狗对主人的忠心和奉献,也是讲述死亡带来的感情冲击。
如今,八公已成为“忠诚”的代名词,它的故事仍然感动着无数人,日本人甚至在它守候多年的东京涩谷站前树立了一座它的雕像。
Eight Below
在双语君的印象里,狗狗不仅仅有温顺忠诚的样子,还有勇敢无畏的样子。
萌萌的小型狗狗会让人想上去就一记“摸头杀”,但是在街上看到身高半米的大型犬类,心里面暗想这狗子肯定能保护它的主人。
电影《零下八度》展现的就不仅仅是人与狗之间的心灵联系,更是一群狗子作为一个团队在面临威胁和危险时的机智和英勇。
In the extreme wilderness of Antarctica, three members of a scientific expedition — Jerry Shepard, his best friend, Cooper and a rugged American geologist — are forced to leave behind their team of beloved sled dogs due to a sudden accident and perilous weather conditions in Antarctica.
南极大地荒野茫茫,三位探险队科学家——杰瑞·夏洛德(Jerry Shepard)和他最要好的朋友库珀(Cooper)以及一位面容粗犷的美国地质学者——因为突发事故加上恶劣气候,不得不放弃心爱的八条雪橇狗。
During the harsh, Antarctic winter, the dogs must struggle for survival alone in the intense frozen wilderness for more than six months.
在长达六个多月的南极严冬中,狗狗们只能在冰天雪地里独自求生。
While back in the States, Jerry is racked with guilt and desperately attempts to gather support for a canine rescue mission. It's a full six months before he's able to conduct his search.
而回到美国的杰瑞心中愧疚难当,想尽办法组织营救队。整整六月后他才得以展开搜救。
I'll be back. I promise.
这部影片的节奏仿佛每一分钟都在给人打肾上腺素。
但最大的看点从来都不是强壮英俊的主角,也不是杰瑞返回美国后愧疚自责的内心戏,而是八条雪橇犬一跃成为“狗界”明星。
烂番茄上,影迷评论的关注点都在狗子们的英勇身姿上:
Paul Walker, Bruce Greenwood and Jason Biggs may be the nominal stars, but it's the canine players who carry the movie and will capture the hearts of viewers young and old.
名义上可能三位科考人员扮演者是电影明星,但其实是八条雪橇犬撑起了整部电影情节,也是它们抓住了老少观众的心。
canine ['keɪnaɪn]:犬类的
You can almost sense them strategizing about how they're going to find their next meal, and there's one particularly ingenious scene in which they outwit some flying prey.
你几乎能感受到它们在谋划着搜寻下一顿猎物,特别是有一幕,狗狗们智取空中猎物,画面尤为巧妙。
这也是一部感人肺腑的电影,狗狗在极寒环境中的勇敢求生和坚韧顽强一定会触动你的心。而且,雪橇犬真的很萌啊!
A Dog’s Purpose
在这部“大型魔幻巨制”中,狗狗角色一改之前痴痴等待的“狗设”,game over后化身人民币玩家,复活了读取存档接着开启精彩狗生,但狗狗与第一任主人有种神秘的联系,“兜兜转转”最终回到主人身边。
Bailey’s earliest memories, which are intrinsically connected to smells, are all derived from Ethan.
贝利最初的记忆,本能地和气味紧紧相连,且都来源于伊桑。
Even as a puppy, Bailey asks all the important questions; namely, “what is the meaning and purpose of life?”
还是只小狗崽的时候,贝利就会思考十分重大的问题——生活的意义和使命是什么?
He witnesses the key stages in his master Ethan’s “All-American” life, but as life takes a turn for the worse, Bailey’s time on earth comes to an end and he dies, only to be reborn as another breed to another owner.
它见证了主人伊桑的“全美式”生活,但命运一转,贝利走向了死亡,只能一次一次地转世为其他种类的狗狗,有了新的主人。
尽管“转世”的超能力并不可控——贝利甚至经历了男女大变身.......但每一次贝利都自带萌感~
电影最后,这一世的贝利终于找到了回家的路,与成年的伊桑重聚。
这部电影的导演也是《忠犬八公的故事》的导演。《好莱坞报道者》(Hollywood Reporter)的影评认为,影片尽管有些煽情,但总体瑕不遮瑜。
Effort from director Lasse Hallstrom (who explored similar canine-themed territory in Hachi: A Dog’s Tale) proves a cloyingly sentimental, schmaltzy tearjerker that will nonetheless tug at the heartstrings of anyone who’s ever loved a pet.
导演莱塞·霍尔斯道姆(他也在电影《忠犬八公的故事》中探索过同类狗狗题材)的这部电影证明,即使是用力过猛、煽情过头的催泪弹仍然会触动任何一个心爱宠物的人。
cloying:因过量而厌烦的
schmaltzy ['ʃmɔltsi]:过分伤感的
tearjerker:赚人眼泪的电影、书、故事
Secret Life of Dogs
在纪录片《狗的秘密生活》中,狗狗不再只是人类的宠物,它们有自己的狗狗视角,它们眼里的“狗生”就是一部精彩的电影。
The Secret Life of Dogs tracks how the beloved pets adapt to every day life.
《狗的秘密生活》记录了这种可爱的宠物是如何适应生活的。
On top of this, it shows the tight bond between dogs and their owners.
除此之外,片中还展示了狗与主人之间的亲密关系。
Throughout the series we see how dogs have become man's best friend - and how they grow to rely on each other to get through all parts of life.
整套纪录片中我们看到了狗狗是如何变成人类最好的朋友的,如何渐渐彼此依赖度过生活中的各种阶段。
这部纪录片引人入胜,讲述了狗狗成长中包括第一次睁眼、健康成长,以及在主人忍受丧亲之痛(through bereavements)时为其带来慰藉(being a source of comfort)等生活经历。
片中还记录了狗狗和人类之间许多真实感人的故事,比如狗狗发现主人的癌症、警犬搜救受困老奶奶的故事等。
可以先看个视频,感受一下纪录片中的精彩片段:
10 Promises to My Dog
电影《狗狗与我的十个约定》把爱宠和主人的感情、女儿和父母的感情都写在了一条故事线上。 或许在导演的眼里,只要是生命之间的感情,都是需要责任去承担的。
Told over 10 years, the film stars Mayuko Fukuda and Lena Tanaka as the character of Akari, a young girl who seem to suffer from setback after setback despite her sunshine cheery demeanour.
影片跨度十年,由福田麻由子和田中丽奈分别饰演童年和幼年的齐藤明莉。明莉这个小女孩虽然阳光开朗,但却似乎被一个接一个的困境所烦恼。
One day, a Golden Retriever puppy unexpectedly appears in the garden of Akari's house, and Akari immediately decides to adopt it and christens it "Socks".
一天一只小金毛犬出现在明莉家的院子里,明莉立刻就决定收养它,给它取名“袜子”。
However, as she grows up, she becomes more interested in her work. She moves away and spends less time with her dog.
然而,随着明莉渐渐长大,她越来越专注于工作,她搬去了另一个城市,很少与袜子在一起了。
She returns home when Socks is passing away and finds the book with the promises she made to Socks, that she drew when she was younger.
当袜子快要死去时,她回到家,发现了自己小时候画的和袜子的10条约定……
影片列出的10个约定,其实灵感来源于1993年Stan Rawlinson创作的《收养狗狗的十条戒律》(The Ten Commandments of Dog Ownership)。
最后,双语君(微信:Chinadaily_Mobile)就和大家再次回顾一下这十条承诺。狗狗是有感情的动物,请一定要好好地对待它们哦。
❶ My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Regular separation from you will be painful and can even cause depression. Think before you buy me.
在你带我回家之前,请记得我的寿命约有10-15年,与你经常分离,会让我感到痛苦和抑郁。
❷ Give me time to understand what you want from me. Don’t be impatient, short-tempered or irritable.
请多给我一点时间,让我了解你对我的要求是什么。请别对我不耐烦或太过急躁。
❸ Place your trust in me and I will always trust you back.
请信赖我,我也会永远信赖你。
❹ Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment; I am not capable of understanding why. I only know I have been rejected. You have your work, entertainment, and friends, but I only have you.
别一直生我的气,也别为了惩罚就把我关起来,我没有办法理解你为什么这样对我。我只知道你不愿理我了。你有你的工作、娱乐和朋友,而我,只有你。
❺ Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice and your tone. You only have to look at my tail.
对我说说话,虽然我听不懂你的语言,但我听得懂你的声音和腔调,看我的尾巴你就知道啦。
❻ Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it, and if it's cruel, it may affect me forever.
无论你如何对待我,我都不会忘记。如果你对我很凶,我会永远都感到很受伤。
❼ Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that can hurt you that I choose not to use.
在你打我之前,请记得,我有可以咬伤你的尖锐牙齿,只是我选择不咬。
❽ Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right foods or I’ve been out in the sun too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.
当你责骂我不听话、固执或懒惰之前,请想想是否有什么事正困扰着我。也许我吃的狗粮不对,也许我在太阳下跑太久了,又或者我的心脏已经太弱或太老。
❾ Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old and may also need love, care, comfort, and attention.
当我老了,请好好照顾我,因为有一天你也会老,也会需要关爱和温柔的对待。
❿ Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, “I can’t bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, regardless of what you do, I will always love you.
当我要捱过最后的艰难历程时,千万别说:"我不忍看它这样",或是"等我不在场的时候再让它去"。只要有你和我在一起,一切都会好过一些。请记住,无论如何,我永远爱你。
