Imagine in a Marvel movie, the protagonist is a rich, arrogant and selfish genius
想象一部漫威电影,主人公是一个富有却又傲慢自私的天才。
who suddenly encounters a life-changing accident.
有一天,他突然遭遇了一场改变了他一生的事故。
As a result, he develops super powers, before realizing the value of helping others and saving Earth.
从此,他便拥有了超能力,能够帮助别人、拯救地球。
This isn’t Iron Man, however.
然而,这并不是《钢铁侠》的故事。
The titular character of Doctor Strange begins his story as a regular human being, albeit the world’s most skilled neurosurgeon,
与电影同名的主人公奇异博士虽然是世界上最负盛名的的神经外科医生,但一开始他只是个普通的人类。
before a car accident leads him on a journey to discovering Earth-saving super powers.
一场车祸,却让他开启了探索之旅,发现了拯救地球的超能力。
Looking for ways to heal himself after his accident puts an end to his illustrious surgical career, Strange travels to the East.
这场车祸终结了奇异博士辉煌的外科医生职业生涯。为了寻找治疗方法,他来到了东方。
His discoveries unlock powers that transform him into a master of a mystical magic intended to protect Earth from supernatural enemies.
他的一系列发现解锁了神秘力量,并将他变成了拥有超凡魔力的魔法师,让他能够在超自然的敌人手下保护地球。
But despite being gifted with superpowers, Doctor Strange is different from other comic book heroes.
尽管被赋予了超能力,但奇异博士却和其他漫画书中的英雄截然不同。
He doesn’t have super strength.
他没有钢筋铁骨,
You can still poke him with a knife or shoot him with a gun, says US screenwriter Jon Spaihts, who co-wrote the movie’s script.
并非刀枪不入,这部电影的编剧之一、美国剧作家乔.斯派茨表示。
Despite all his magical gifts, he often plays a desperate game of ‘stay alive’, fighting enemies far bigger than he is.
尽管他被赋予了魔力,但他却时常挣扎于生死边缘,和那些远比他大得多的敌人们战斗。
At a time when Marvel is producing increasingly psychedelic work, Doctor Strange is probably the studio’s craziest yet.
这两年,漫威出品的科幻大作越来越多,而《奇异博士》大概是该公司目前为止最疯狂的一部。
Rather than present generic superhero scenes, the film shows audiences something a bit different,
和现在的大多数超级英雄电影不同,《奇异博士》这部影片向观众展现了一些不一样的东西。
including Strange being forced to run on the sides of buildings and jump between skyscrapers to escape an enemy who has the ability to bend reality.
比如说,为了从具有扭曲时空能力的敌人手下逃走,奇异博士不得不飞檐走壁、穿梭跳跃于摩天大楼之间。
And while Marvel’s other eccentric superhero Iron Man is very much one who lives in the spotlight–a genius, billionaire playboy who’s involved in cutting-edge technology projects–Doctor Strange is not, choosing rather to live in his bizarre abode, the Sanctum Sanctorum, while spending his free time fighting mystical enemies in other dimensions.
尽管漫威另一位古怪的超级英雄钢铁侠活在了镁光灯之下——他是一个参与前沿科技项目的天才、一个坐拥亿万财产的花花公子——然而奇异博士却并非如此,他选择住在他诡异的居所——至圣所中,并在工作之余和来自异次元的神秘敌人战斗。
It’s obvious why they hired a big time star like Cumberbatch, because Doctor Strange is here to guide us through the next decade of Marvel movies, just like Downey did in the last decade, Uproxx’s Mike Ryan wrote.
他们选择康伯巴奇这样一位巨星来出演的原因显而易见,因为《奇异博士》将会成为漫威电影未来十年的领军之作,就像唐尼在过去的十年中所做的那样,来自博客网站Uproxx的麦克.瑞安写道。
Doctor Strange is basically a reboot of Iron Man, only with a lot more prettier things to look at.
实际上,《奇异博士》是部重启版的《钢铁侠》,只不过多了不少美妙的元素让观众们来欣赏。
It’s a good strategy. And it works.
这是一个很棒的策略,而且也确实有效。
