The first season of the D.C.-based thrill ride introduced us to super shady, ambitious, vengeful congressman Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey), his cold and calculating wife, Claire, and the morally questionable, equally ambitious writer Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara). The series has been thus far filled with murder, revenge plots gone awry, and plenty of intrigue on the Hill. And according to Netflix’s just-released synopsis for Season 2, we can expect more of the same:
在第一季中，這部以華盛頓特區(qū)為背景的驚悚美劇為我們引薦了腹黑的、雄心勃勃甚至充滿復(fù)仇心理的國(guó)會(huì)議員弗蘭西斯·安德伍德（凱文·史派西飾演），還有他那冷艷的，精于算計(jì)的妻子克萊爾（羅賓·懷特飾演）。我們也認(rèn)識(shí)了道德上存在爭(zhēng)議但同樣擁有雄心壯志的作家佐伊·巴恩斯（凱特·瑪拉飾演）。到第一季結(jié)束，這部劇集中充斥著謀殺案、扭曲的復(fù)仇計(jì)劃和國(guó)會(huì)山上數(shù)不清的陰謀。根據(jù)Netflix剛剛公布的第二季概要，我們將會(huì)繼續(xù)欣賞這樣的劇情。


Francis and Claire Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. Zoe Barnes, an up-and-coming reporter and Francis’s former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes. President Walker’s (Michel Gill) billionaire confidante demands that Francis reciprocate political favors or face retribution. And Claire must confront the increasing glare of the spotlight as it eats away at her and Francis’s once private existence. The Underwood’s must overcome these dangers — past and present — to avoid losing everything, regardless of collateral damage they leave in their wake.
弗蘭西斯和妻子在面對(duì)著一切威脅的情況下，依舊熱衷著權(quán)利的奪取。佐伊·巴恩斯這個(gè)一向十分活躍的記者，聯(lián)合弗蘭西斯的前情婦，正一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)逼向弗蘭西斯犯罪的事實(shí)?？偨y(tǒng)加勒特·沃克（邁克·吉爾）有一個(gè)億萬富翁密友，他要求與弗蘭西斯互換政治地位，要不然會(huì)對(duì)其進(jìn)行報(bào)復(fù)。而克萊爾必須面臨著更多的曝光率，之前的秘密存在不再有效。暫且不談他們留下的附帶損害，安德伍德也必須克服三種危險(xiǎn)，過去的、現(xiàn)在的，和失去一切的可能。


Like Season 1, House of Cards’s second season will consist of 13 episodes, all released on Valentine’s Day next year. Will you be watching?
