 中文译文

阿凡达是一部科幻电影。
故事发生在一个遥远的星球潘多拉。
这个星球布满了茂密的森林,充满了野生动物和丰富的自然资源。
用一个字来形容就是乌托邦。
这里居住着土著种族称为纳美人。
他们有着湛蓝的皮肤,高大的身材,他们爱好和平,而且极为尊重他们的环境。
人类已经来到了潘多拉,开采一种非常罕见贵重的金属。
他们不顾后果,愿意不惜一切代价进行有利可图的生意。
为了获得纳美人的信任,人类创造了阿凡达替身,专门设计了为人类所控制的混种生物。

主角杰克•萨利,是一名伤残的退伍军人。
命运的安排下,在“阿凡达”项目中,他取代了他的孪生兄弟,并获得第二次生命的机会。
他原来的使命是潜入纳美人,并说服他们搬离他们的村庄,使矿业公司可以提取矿石。
然而,“阿凡达”项目是由平民人类学家执行的,他们想要了解这个惊人的文明。
对于杰克,一个忠诚的冲突已经开始了。
日子一天天过去,杰克越来越了解纳美人的习俗。
他开始怀疑自己对生命的理解。
杰克最终成为部落的成员,爱上他的纳美人老师。
矿业公司在截止日期后使用武力摧毁了纳美人的村子。
当战争终于在人类和纳美人之间爆发时,杰克必须选择他的立场。
改变生活的经历之后,他会选择哪一边呢?

 

English translation:

Avatar is a science fiction movie.
It takes place on a far away planet called Pandora.
The planet is full of rich forests, teeming with wildlife, and abundant in natural resources.
In a single word, utopia.
It is also populated by an indigenous race called the Navi.
They are blue skinned, tall, peace loving and extremely respectful of their environment.
Humans have come to Pandora to mine a very rare and precious metal.
They are willing to do whatever it takes to carry on profitable business regardless of the consequences.
In order to gain the Navi’s trust, humans have created avatars, a hybrid creature designed specifically for its human operator.

The main character, Jack Sully, is a physically disabled veteran.
In a twist of fate, he replaces his twin brother in the Avatar Project and gets a second chance at life.
His original orders were to infiltrate the Navi and persuade them to move their village so the mining company can extract the mineral ore.
However, the Avatar Project is run by civilian anthropologists who want to learn about this amazing civilization.
Already a conflict of loyalties begins for Jack.
As the days pass, Jack understands more and more of the Navi’s customs.
He starts to question his own understanding of life.
Jack eventually becomes a member of the tribe and falls in love with his Navi teacher.
After the deadline the mining company uses military force to destroy the Navi village.
When war finally breaks out between the humans and the Navi, Jack has to choose his side.
After his life changing experience with the Navi, which side will he choose?

Personal note: Part of the transcription below is my own translation from the cartoon, the other part comes from this SpongeBob fan website . I sometimes like to translate word by word to help breaking the sentence down. That’s why a few lines sounds funny and wrong but their English overall translation are right after between brackets.

This blue color indicates a phrase which can be used straight away and doesn’t need to be broken down. (E.g 我准备好 – Wǒ zhǔnbèi hǎole – I’m ready)
