今天要講的這部劇,大家可能聽不太懂,因?yàn)槭且徊康抡Z(yǔ)劇。

它可以說是Netflix近兩年口碑最好的幾部劇之一。

它就是這部《巴比倫柏林》:

Babylon Berlin《巴比倫柏林》

剛看到這部劇的時(shí)候,很多人以為不會(huì)多好看,因?yàn)樗且徊孔锇竸?,這個(gè)門類的劇實(shí)在太多了,而且往往很難拍出特色;更不用說它的背景還設(shè)定在兩次世界大戰(zhàn)之間的德國(guó),離很多觀眾關(guān)心的東西都很遙遠(yuǎn)。

但是,看過一集之后,大部分人都路人轉(zhuǎn)粉了,連評(píng)論界也是這樣。

Babylon Berlin is a German crime-drama television series based on novels by Volker Kutscher . The series takes place in 1929 Berlin during the Weimar Republic.?
《巴比倫柏林》是一部德國(guó)的罪案劇,改編自德國(guó)作家福爾克·庫(kù)徹的小說。故事發(fā)生在1929年魏瑪共和國(guó)時(shí)期的柏林。

It follows Gereon Rath, a police?inspector?on assignment from Cologne who is on a secret mission to dismantle an extortion ring,
整個(gè)故事圍繞捷隆·拉斯和夏洛特·麗塔兩個(gè)人物展開。捷隆是一名來自科隆的警務(wù)調(diào)查員,他身負(fù)一份秘密任務(wù),要去搗毀一個(gè)勒索集團(tuán);

and Charlotte Ritter, a young stenotypist who is aspiring to work as a police inspector.
夏洛特是一名年輕的速記員,正努力成為一名警務(wù)調(diào)查員。

這部劇是在2017年的10月13日開播的。Netflix平臺(tái)拿下了它的前兩季。整部劇會(huì)有第三季,已經(jīng)安排在2018年的秋天開拍了。

而且根據(jù)現(xiàn)在的評(píng)分走向來說,它顯然沒有式微的跡象,題材的生僻并沒有妨礙這部好劇大紅大紫。

關(guān)于這部劇所寫的時(shí)代,劇的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人湯姆·泰克維爾對(duì)《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》是這么說的:

“At the time people did not realize how absolutely unstable this new construction of society which the Weimar Republic represented was.?
“在當(dāng)時(shí),人們還沒有意識(shí)到魏瑪共和國(guó)代表的這種新社會(huì)秩序有多么風(fēng)雨飄搖。

It interested us because the fragility of democracy has been put to the test quite profoundly in recent years...?
這讓我們很感興趣,因?yàn)槲覀冞@幾年正好見證了民主的脆弱。

By 1929, new opportunities were arising. Women had more possibilities to take part in society, especially in the labor market as Berlin became crowded with new thinking, new art, theater, music and journalistic writing.”?
到了1929年,新生的機(jī)會(huì)如雨后春筍。隨著柏林充滿新思潮、新藝術(shù)、劇院、音樂和新聞報(bào)道,社會(huì)為女性提供了比以前更多的可能性,尤其是在就業(yè)方面。”

不過泰克維爾說他和其他聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人都決定不去過度美化魏瑪共和國(guó)這個(gè)時(shí)期。

“People tend to forget that it was also a very rough era in German history. There was a lot of poverty, and people who had survived the war were suffering from a great deal of trauma.”
“人們很容易忘記,這個(gè)時(shí)期也是德國(guó)歷史上非常動(dòng)蕩的一個(gè)時(shí)期。當(dāng)時(shí)的貧困問題很嚴(yán)重,那些從戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中幸存的人也飽受心靈創(chuàng)傷之苦?!?/div>

第一季開播之后,這部劇收到的基本全是好評(píng),IMDb均分高達(dá)8.5。它的爛番茄好評(píng)度更是達(dá)到100%,其評(píng)語(yǔ)寫到:

"Babylon Berlin's humor and humanity pair nicely with its hypnotic visuals, resulting in a show that dazzles within its oversaturated genre".
“《巴比倫柏林》在如夢(mèng)似幻的視覺效果中很好地融入了幽默與人性,這讓它在自己那已經(jīng)過度飽和的影視門類中獨(dú)放異彩?!?/div>

OK,來講講今天的詞?Inspect

這個(gè)詞的意思是“巡視”、“調(diào)查”、“視察”,加上?-or?之后就是文中所說的“調(diào)查員”。

?

那么,我們來造個(gè)句子吧~

Public health officials were called in to inspect the premises.
公共衛(wèi)生官奉召來視察了那棟建筑物。
