课文讲解

 

Oscar Diggs, a circus magician who cheats people out of their money, performs tricks for a living. However, the most amazing trick will be played on him this time. After cheating people too often, Oscar runs from trouble in a hot air balloon but is magically transported from his hometown in Kansas to the Land of Oz.

奥斯卡.迪哥斯-一位专门骗人钱财的魔术师-靠着表演把戏来维持生活。然而,这次最令人惊讶的把戏将降临在他身上。在多次骗人之后,奥斯卡搭乘热气球逃离麻烦,但却不可思议地从他的家乡堪萨斯州被送到奥兹王国。

 

The people of Oz mistake Oscar for a wizard and expect him to help them stop the Wicked Witch from trying to take over the land. However, there are three young witches that don’t believe he knows magic at all. Oscar must use illusions, magic tricks and skill on his journey to become a better person, fight evil and turn himself into the Wizard of Oz.

奥兹王国的人民误认奥斯卡是一名巫师,并且期望他能帮忙阻止试图夺取奥兹王国的邪恶女巫。然而,有三位年轻女巫却不相信奥斯卡懂得魔法。奥斯卡必须使用幻象、魔术把戏以及技巧让自己在冒险旅程中成为更棒的人以对抗邪恶,并且转变为奥兹王国大帝。

 

The film is set prior to the events of the original book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum. After Baum wrote his first Oz book, it quickly became one of the most well-known stories in American popular culture. Now, Oz: The Great and Powerful is aiming to be just as popular as the original story.

这部电影的背景是设定在法兰克.鲍姆原著的《绿野仙踪》一书之前。在鲍姆写完第一本奥兹王国的系列丛书之后,这本着作很快成为美国大众文化中最脍炙人口的故事之一。现在,电影《奥兹大帝》的目标就是成为与原著故事一样受欢迎的电影。

Oz: The Great and Powerful is considered a prequel to the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, but will tell the story from Oscar’s perspective. In the 1939 film version, Dorothy Gale is sent from Kansas to Oz and must meet the Wizard of Oz to get back home. This time, the audience follows the origins of Oscar Diggs as he struggles to become the Wizard of Oz that Dorothy later seeks.

《奥兹大帝》被视为是1939年电影《绿野仙踪》的前传,但是将从主角奥斯卡的观点来叙述整个故事。在1939年的电影版本里,桃乐丝从堪萨斯被送到奥兹王国,并且必须要见到奥兹大帝才能成功返家。这一次,观众跟随着奥斯卡的源起,见证他努力成为桃乐丝后来所寻找的奥兹大帝。

 

The film will tip its hat to the original movie with its opening sequence. Director Sam Raimi said he will imitate the beginning of The Wizard of Oz, which starts in black and white and becomes a color movie when Dorothy travels to Oz.

这部电影将以开场的连续镜头对原版电影表示敬意。导演山姆.雷米表示他将仿效《绿野仙踪》的片头,一开始用黑白画面呈现,然后在桃乐丝前往奥兹王国时转变为彩色影像。

 

Moviegoers this time will be treated to a world of crooked mountains, cities made of teapots or emerald, and creatures like flying monkeys and talking dolls. Oscar will meet danger and uncertainty at every turn in this world where nothing is as it seems. Oz: The Great and Powerful promises to send audiences to a fantastic land that they won’t ever want to leave.

影迷这次将被带领至一个山势逶迤的世界、以茶壶或绿宝石打造的城市,还有飞天猴与会说话的娃娃等生物。奥斯卡在这里将处处遭遇危险与难以预料的事物,因为这个世界里没有一件事是如同表面所见的那样。电影《奥兹大帝》保证会将观众送往一个没有人想离开的奇幻国度。
