人們普遍認為,尤其是在2019年,我們所愛的人和事最終都會讓我們失望。
It's never an if, always a when. So our heroes willinevitably turn out to be trash monsters.
永遠不是“是否”的問題,而是“何時”的問題。所以我們的英雄不可避免地會淪落為垃圾怪物。
Our favorite bands will enter an experimentalphase, even though no one asked them to. And ourfavorite TV shows will fail not only to reach greater heights, but they won't even come close tothe same level of success they once had.
盡管沒人要求,我們最喜歡的樂隊將進入試驗階段。我們最喜歡的電視節(jié)目不僅不能達到更高的高度,甚至達不到他們曾經(jīng)擁有的成功水平。
And it was with this cynical mentality that I approached the second season of 2018's breakouthit Killing Eve.
帶著這種憤世嫉俗的心態(tài),我去看了2018年大熱劇集《殺死伊芙》的第二季。
How could a series that was so well written, so well acted, and so fiercely addictive in itsfreshman season possibly maintain the same level of quality in Season 2, especially sincePhoebe Waller-Bridge, who developed the series for TV and wrote four of the first season's eightepisodes, wasn't involved in the writing of the second? It seemed like an impossible task.
寫得這么好、演得這么好、這么讓人上癮的劇,第二季怎么可能做到和第一季一樣高質(zhì)量,特別是因為菲比·沃勒-布里奇寫了第一季八集里的四集,而她又不參與第二季劇本的創(chuàng)作,怎么可能呢?這似乎不可能啊。
But then a strange thing happened: Killing Eve's second season, at least the two episodesscreened in advance for critics, didn't let me down.
但奇怪的事出現(xiàn)了:《殺死伊芙》第二季沒有讓我失望,至少已經(jīng)播出的這兩集沒。
In fact, I was immediately transfixed by the second season, which kicks off Sunday and picksup just a brisk 30 seconds after the surprising events of the Season 1 finale.
事實上,我是立刻被第二季驚呆了。第二季于周日開播,在第一季大結局令人驚訝的30秒后,第二季就開始了。
The new episodes, brimming with crackling electricity, elicited the same amount of joy Iexperienced when I watched Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) dance around eachother during the first go round, only this time the stakes were considerably higher.
新出的幾集充滿了電光火花,和我第一次看到Eve (Sandra Oh飾)和Villanelle (Jodie Comer飾)在一起跳舞的時候一樣讓我開心,只是這次驚險刺激得多。
