Ann:Did you see the movie Children of Men?

你看过《人类之子》这部电影吗？

Lily:Yes, I watch it when it was first released in this country, but I don’t like it very much.

看过了，当它在中国首映时就看过了。但是我不怎么喜欢它。

Ann:Why, I think it’s a great movie.

为什么呢？我觉得它是部很棒的电影啊。

Lily:I don’t like movies that describe the dark side of the world. And the movie makes me feel despaired. It seems that the world is hopeless.

我不喜欢那种讲述世界黑暗面的电影。而且这部电影让我觉得很绝望，这世界好像都没希望了。

Ann:I don’t think so. I think it’s hopeful, and the baby is the hope. If it’s really hopeless, then the baby should never appear.

我可不这么认为，我觉得它是充满希望的，那个小孩就是希望。如果真的是没希望的话，那么那个小孩就不应该出现。

嗯，我觉得这部电影是想告诉人们要珍惜和保护我们的地球，否则世界末日很快就来临。

我也很欣赏导演高超的摄像技术。长镜头显示出了对摄影技术良好的掌控。

Lily:Yeah. Though I don’t like the movie very much, the camera technique is really shocking.

对啊，尽管我不是很喜欢这部电影，它的摄影技术确实很惊人。
