经典美剧：《权利的游戏》“荣登”美剧盗版排行榜榜首

~月朦胧~

Like the general television viewing audience, viewers of pirated programming spent 2014 enjoying intrigue, bloodshed, superheroes, dragons, zombies and a bit of gratuitous nudity – they just didn’t feel like paying for it.

和普通电视观众一样，盗版电视节目的观众在2014年也观赏了阴谋、杀戮、超级英雄、龙、僵尸和一些没必要的裸体，但他们就是不想为之付费。

Several of the year’s most popular shows were also among the most pirated, according to an annual list compiled by the website TorrentFreak.com, which tallied the number of illegal downloads that took place using BitTorrent file sharing. Topping that list was “Game of Thrones,” with an estimated 8.1 million downloads; the HBO fantasy series, which completed its fourth season in June, draws about seven million viewers for debut broadcasts of new episodes.

TorrentFreak.com网站统计了用BT文件共享进行非法下载的次数。据该网站发布的年度排行，今年最流行的几部电视剧也是被盗版最多的。排在第一位的是《权力的游戏》(Game of Thrones)，大约被下载了810万次。HBO频道的这部奇幻剧在2014年6月播完了第四季，新剧集首播吸引了约700万观众。

社交媒体最爱剧:The Originals初代吸血鬼

~月朦胧~

It’s no surprise that we love The Originals. The Vampire Diaries spin-off has taken the Mikaelsons — Klaus （Joseph Morgan）， Elijah （Daniel Gillies）， and Rebekah （Claire Holt） — and made them leading guys and gals. Sure, they were fabulous on TVD, but now we can see them in a new light and learn more about their characters. Turns out, not only are the ratings for the series continually on the rise, but their fans are very loyal and engaged.
怪不得我们都这么爱看《初代吸血鬼》。这是一部以Mikaleson家族的Klaus、Elijah和Rebekah三兄妹为主角的《吸血鬼日记》衍生剧。当然我们也很爱《吸血鬼日记》，不过我们现在通过这部衍生剧发现了更多角色的亮点。《初代吸血鬼》不仅拿到了不错的收视成绩，还俘获了一大批忠实观众。

~月朦胧~

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Originals is the No. 1 most popular new show on social media this fall, beating out 26 other freshman series for the title. The New Orleans-based drama has more than 1.9 million fans when combining Twitter followers and Facebook likes, putting it well above the runner-up, FOX’s Sleepy Hollow, with 821 thousand combined fans.
据《好莱坞报道》消息，《初代吸血鬼》已经打败今年同步播出的其他26部新剧，成为在社交媒体中最受欢迎的新剧。这部以新奥尔良为背景的美剧在Twitter上和Facebook上有超过190万的粉丝，超过了亚军FOX电视台的新剧《断头谷》，《断头谷》的粉丝数位82.1万。

~月朦胧~

Rounding out the Top 5 are ABC’s Once Upon a Time in Wonderland （801 thousand fans）， NBC’s Dracula （425 thousand fans）， and NBC’s The Blacklist （363 thousand fans）。
社交媒体上最受欢迎的5大新剧剩下3部是：ABC电视台《奇境传说》（80万粉丝），NBC电视台《德古拉》（42.5万粉丝），NBC电视台《黑名单》36.3万粉丝。

《沉睡魔咒》：暗黑女魔头也有真爱

~月朦胧~

看过《睡美人》的你可还记得故事里的终极大反派——诅咒公主的邪恶女巫？其实，女巫并非天生一颗恶魔心，最新迪士尼电影《沉睡魔咒》将为我们讲述这位黑魔女的伤心往事……

~月朦胧~

When you first look at the posters of Maleficent, Disney’s new fantasy film, you can hardly relate them to the classic fairy tale The Sleeping Beauty — unless you’re so familiar with the story that you recognize the iconic villain through her creepy horns and sculpted cheekbones.
第一眼看到《沉睡魔咒》的海报，你很难将这部迪士尼最新魔幻电影与经典童话《睡美人》联系在一起。除非你对故事十分熟悉，还能从海报上女巫高耸的犄角和瘦削的颧骨辨认出她正是故事里的反派女巫。

~月朦胧~

Clearly, this time, Disney wants to tell the evil fairy queen’s side of the story. Played by Angelina Jolie, Maleficent is a powerful witch who is betrayed and deceived by Stefan, a childhood friend and the man she loved. When Stefan becomes a king, Maleficent’s mind turns to revenge — she curses Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning) and sets about to make her life a misery.
显而易见，迪士尼此次打算讲述恶魔精灵女王的故事。恶魔女巫玛琳菲森由安吉丽娜?朱莉饰演。故事中，她拥有强大的法力，但却遭到青梅竹马的恋人史提芬的欺骗与背叛。当史提芬登基为王时，玛琳菲森由爱转恨，诅咒了他的女儿奥萝拉公主（艾丽?范宁饰），想让她终生不幸。

~月朦胧~

From here, the fairy tale gets its modern-day revision. Instead of being the one-dimensional villain we know, Maleficent soon gets a heart-of-gold reincarnation and reconsiders her evil intention.
从这里开始，新版故事进行了全新演绎。玛琳菲森并不是我们所熟悉的单纯反派，她心底的善良和柔情渐渐被唤醒，，开始反思原本的恶念。

~月朦胧~

Quite the irony, isn’t it? The character most committed to the destruction of true love turns out to have been one of its early victims. It’s also where the film adds a feminist point of view to the original fairy tale. It is no longer the story where the queen is bad for the sake of being bad. She has a personal story and there is a reason she does what she does.
十分讽刺，不是么？曾经被视为毁灭真爱的罪魁祸首，其实也曾是一个受害者。这也是影片加入的女性视角所在，故事中的邪恶女王并非坏得没道理，而是有着自己的苦衷和往事。

~月朦胧~

This comparison and contrast is compelling, but it would never have worked without Jolie’s excellent performance, in which she represents all sides of her character’s complexity. For a character who loses love and gradually finds it again, Jolie makes the transformation believable. With her edgy and stunning image, she effortlessly makes everyone else, including Fanning’s Princess Aurora, pale into insignificance.
故事的对比与反差确实引人注目，但这朱莉的精湛演技功不可没。她在电影里全方位的展现出其角色的复杂性。从失去爱情到重新找回真爱，朱莉的演绎让这种转变真实而自然。加之朱莉在片中大胆夸张、令人惊艳的造型，不费吹灰之力就让片中的其他角色黯然失色，甚至连范宁饰演的奥萝拉公主也难以望其项背。

~月朦胧~

Another thing that makes the film exciting to watch is the visual effects. Maleficent may be Robert Stromberg’s directorial debut, but the Oscar-winning production designer (Avatar and Alice in Wonderland) certainly has the ability to satisfy viewers’ eyes.
这部影片的视觉效果同样令人震撼。《沉睡魔咒》也许是罗伯特?斯特罗姆伯格作为导演的处女秀，但是作为曾获得奥斯卡最佳艺术指导奖（担任《爱丽丝梦游仙境》艺术指导）的他，一定会会让观众大饱眼福。

~月朦胧~

Even so, Stromberg’s lack of directing experience shows, sometimes making the film more of a stylish mishmash, with clichéd themes such as “love forgives everything”.
尽管如此，斯特罗姆伯格毕竟缺乏执导经验，或多或少让影片变得更像一场时尚大杂烩，同时“爱能原谅一切”主题也显得老套。

~月朦胧~

Despite the flaws, luckily, we have Jolie to save the day. As the movie posters suggest, Maleficent is Jolie’s one-woman film, and it’s just great to see her having fun in a starring role again.
不过瑕不掩瑜，我们还有朱莉救场。正如影片海报所呈现的，《沉睡魔咒》是朱莉独挑大梁的电影。所以，能又一次看她在自己主演的电影里酣畅淋漓的发挥，也不失为一件乐事。

奥斯卡获奖影片《她》讲述了发生在未来的一段人机之恋。该片再次引发人们对人工智能的热议。有关学者也表示，不久的将来，片中情节便会成为现实。

~月朦胧~

Her, a movie written and directed by US director Spike Jonze, won the Oscar for Best Original screenplay. It explores the romantic relationship between a man and his computer’s operating system.
由美国导演斯派克?琼斯自编自导的电影《她》斩获了本届奥斯卡最佳原创剧本奖。该片讲述了一个男人与电脑操作系统间的浪漫爱情故事。

~月朦胧~

The story takes place in the near future where virtual assistants are a common aspect of daily life. One day, Theodore, the protagonist, purchases a new-generation operating system. The system, which calls itself Samantha, is on Theodore’s computer and his smartphone. He carries the latter around in his shirt pocket so that Smanthat’s camera-eye can peek out at the world.
故事发生在不久的将来，人工智能助手已然成为人们日常生活中的一部分。一天，该片男主角托姆布雷购买了新一代操作系统——萨曼莎，并将其安装在电脑和智能手机上。他将智能手机放在衬衫口袋中随身携带，这样萨曼莎就可以透过摄像头洞察到外面的世界。

~月朦胧~

Over time, Samantha learns and grows, discovering her own needs and desires and forming her own personality. Before long, Theodore is introducing her to others as his girlfriend.
随着时间的推移，萨曼莎在不断学习和成长中逐渐产生了需求和欲望，并形成了自己的个性。不久以后，托姆布雷便将她以“女友”的身份介绍给别人。

~月朦胧~

The movie has captured people’s imagination. Can consciousness exist without a blood-and-flesh physical entity? Will Samantha-like artificial intelligence (AI) with human emotions be a reality some day?
电影的播出引发人们无尽遐想：离开血肉之躯的意识能够存活吗？将来，像萨曼莎这样拥有人类情感的人工智能助手真的能够成为现实么？

~月朦胧~

Ray Kurzweil, the world’s leading AI visionary and Google’s director of engineering, predicts we could have Samantha-like girlfriends or boyfriends by 2029.
全球人工智能领域领军人、谷歌工程总监雷?库兹韦尔曾预测，到2029年我们就能拥有像萨曼莎这样的男/女朋友。

~月朦胧~

Kurzweil popularized the idea of “the Singularity” — the point in the future when humans merge with machines. When that time comes, machines will be so intelligent that they will make technology advance in a way we humans won’t be able to understand unless we connect our brains to machines.
库兹韦尔普及了“奇点”的理念——未来人类将进入技术奇点，届时人类将与机器合二为一。当技术奇点时代来临，人工智能技术发展迅猛，人类必须将大脑与机器相连才能理解它们。

~月朦胧~

Distant future?
未来遥远吗？

~月朦胧~

In a post on his website, Kurzweil discussed the technological implications of Her. He said that Samantha would happen in 2029, “when the leap to human-level AI would be reasonably believable”.
库兹韦尔在个人网站上探讨了电影《她》所蕴含的科技元素。他说，2029年，像萨曼莎这样的故事情节很可能发生，“那时，这种达到人类水平的人工智能将不再是天方夜谭”。

~月朦胧~

Mars Cyrillo, executive director at technology company CI&T, echoes Kurzweil’s optimism in an article he wrote for VentureBeat.com:
库兹韦尔曾在知名科技博客网站VentureBeat.com上发表文章，对未来人工智能发展表示看好。而CI&T科技公司执行董事马尔斯?西里络（音译）也十分赞同他的观点。他表示：

~月朦胧~

“If we assume that everything that makes us human comes from our brains and our interactions with other brains and with our environment, there’s no reason to believe that, in the future, computers we build to simulate the brain wouldn’t exhibit human-like behavior.”
“如果我们假设人之所以为人，完全依仗于人类的大脑，以及大脑与其他大脑和环境之间的交流，那么，我们就有理由相信，我们模拟人脑制造出来的电脑将来也能够做出类似的人类行为。”
