奇特动物在哪里英文介绍
As soon as the familiar music starts up and the blue Warner Brothers logo appears on the screen, you’re transported back to that oh-so-familiar magical world created by British writer J.K. Rowling. But it’s definitely not all-too-familiar– Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is Harry Potter (2001-2011) for adults.
当了解的音乐响起，蓝色的华纳兄弟标志出现在大荧幕上时，人们又回到了英国作家J.K.罗琳笔下那个了解的魔法国际。但也不是那么了解——《奇特动物在哪里》是为成年人打造的“哈利•波特”系列电影。

Unlike previous stories in the Harry Potter series, there is no Harry, Ron or Hermione this time around. It’s 1926, and our hero is named Newt Scamander, a messy-haired, *freckle-faced young *wizard from the UK, and author of a textbook that Potter later studies at Hogwarts. And it’s from that textbook the film gets its name.
有别于从前的“哈利•波特”系列电影，这一次，电影中没有哈利、罗恩和赫敏的身影。故事发生在1926年，头发蓬乱、满脸斑点的主人公纽特•斯卡曼德是一名来自英国的年青巫师。哈利后来在霍格沃茨魔法校园学习时，所用的一本讲义就是由他所著。而这部电影的姓名也源于这一讲义。

Traveling from the UK, Scamander arrives in New York carrying a strange suitcase filled with magical creatures, that accidentally ends up being switched with someone else’s. The creatures are soon *unleashed upon the streets of New York, while Scamander spends the rest of the story hunting them down while fighting US authorities.
斯卡曼德带着一个装满奇特动物的乖僻箱子，千里迢迢从英国来到纽约。但是，这个箱子却被意外掉包开箱，里边的奇特动物逃进了纽约城的街头巷尾。在接下来的故事中，斯卡曼德不但要将奇特动物们一个个捉回来，还要和美国魔法部反抗。

Not only providing viewers the thrill of seeing the magical creatures being chased down, the storyline of Fantastic Beasts also contains a more serious angle that relates to the real world.
《奇特动物在哪里》的故事不但令观众体会了一把追击魔法生物的惊险，也为人们调查实际国际供给了一个更为严厉的视点。

“I dealt with some dark themes,” Rowling told The Guardian when she described writing the movie. “There was a lot of stuff in the *sewers.”
“我规划了一些暗黑主题，”罗琳在承受《卫报》采访时如此描述这部电影的创造。“下水道里有许多东西能够发掘。”

 
Through the experience of Scamander, a British man in the US, the movie explores the issues of racial inequality and *discrimination toward immigrants.
这部电影凭借英国人斯卡曼德在美国的历险，深化探求了种族不平等和轻视移民的问题。

The secretive and cruel American Ministry of Magic can be seen as a reference to today’s US political structure. To Rowling, some politicians in the real world are, as she described, “worse than Voldemort”.
隐秘而又残暴的美国魔法部则能够被视为现在美国政治体制的一个缩影。对罗琳而言，实际国际中的一些政客，用她的话来说，“比伏地魔还坏”。

Despite its make-believe premise, the themes of Fantastic Beasts are very real indeed. It’s a film about immigrants with different values and ideas, but who just might save us from ourselves. It’s about the power of whispering rather than shouting. It’s about accepting others and not holding them back.
尽管电影《奇特动物在哪里》的设定是虚拟的，但它的主题却非常实在。电影中的移民尽管有着不同的价值观和主意，但却能将人们从本身的枷锁中解救出来。它推重低声细语的力气而非大声咆哮。它让人们去接收别人而非拒人于千里之外。

Scamander’s tale of heroism could be just what we need right now, and Rowling is the only one who could tell it.
咱们现在正好需求斯卡曼德这样的英豪故事，而罗琳则是仅有一个能叙述这个故事的人。
