中英双语新闻——169 Remarks ruin childhood memories

 　　Everyone has their favorite cartoon characters from childhood.

 
　　每个人心中都有自己从小就喜欢的卡通人物形象。
 
　　However, if these characters were to be played by real-life actors, would they still be loveable?
 
　　然而，倘若这些卡通人物将由真人演员来饰演，他们会可爱依然吗？
 
　　The recent actors’ version of classic Japanese anime Ikkyu-san raised this question when a two-hour mini series aired on Japanese TV earlier this month.
 
　　近日，经典日本动画片《聪明的一休》真人版引发有关这一问题的热议。这部总时长2小时的迷你剧集于本月初在日本电视台播出。
 
　　In case you are not familiar with Ikkyu-san, the anime tells the childhood story of Buddhist 1 monk 2 Ikkyu. He relies on his intelligence and wit to solve all types of problems, from distraught farmers to greedy merchants.
 
　　如果你不是很熟悉“一休哥”，那我们现在来恶补一下，这部动画片讲述了和尚“一休”的童年故事。他依靠自己的才能和智慧解决了各种各样的难题，从心烦意乱的农夫到贪得无厌的商人，他都打过交道。
 
　　In the anime, Ikkyu is known not only for his wit, but also his classic image: shaved head, big and bright eyes, and a lovely smile.
 
　　在这部动画片中，一休之所以家喻户晓，不仅仅因为智慧，更少不了他的经典形象：光头、明亮且大大的眼睛以及可爱的笑容。
 
　　In the mini series, the boy monk is played by Japan’s popular child star Suzuki Fuku.
 
　　在真人版的迷你剧集中，这个小和尚由日本当红童星福铃木饰演。
 
　　I admit that the 8-year-old’s acting 3 is quite impressive. However, his squint 4 isn’t. When Fuku shows up in Ikkyu’s costume, my first impression was: “No, Ikkyu should not look like this.”
 
　　我不得不承认这位八岁的男孩演技令人过目难忘。但是他一双眯眯眼却不然。当看到福铃木身着一休的服装亮相时，我的第一印象就是：“不，一休不应该是这个样子的。”
 
　　In Japan, there has been a trend to shoot versions of classic animes with actors. In the past year, there were Chibi Maruko-chan and Ranma 1/2. Last November, the Japanese auto 5 giant Toyota made a series of car ads in which a group of actors played the characters in Doraemon. The adorable robotic cat was played by French actor Jean Reno.
 
　　在日本，翻拍真人版经典动漫已成为一种趋势。去年，真人版《樱桃小丸子》和《乱马1/2》亮相荧幕。去年11月份，日本汽车巨头丰田公司邀来众多演员，拍摄了一组《哆啦A梦》真人版的汽车广告。其中，可爱机器猫的扮演者为法国男星让?雷诺。
 
　　OK, that’s probably even more annoying than Fuku’s Ikkyu–given that there are millions of Doraemon fans around the world.
 
　　好吧，这可能比福铃木版的“一休”更让人不爽，要知道在全世界有数百万的多啦A梦迷。
 
　　So, is the craze for remaking animes with real-life actors a revival 6 of these classic images, or is it simply killing 7 them?
 
　　那么，对于这些经典动画形象而言，真人版动画的翻拍热潮究竟是一种复兴，还是毁灭呢？
 
　　“I think most anime fans would feel disappointed,” Zhang Qing, 23, a fan of Japanese anime who is now studying in Tokyo, said.
 
　　现在日本读书，23岁的日本动漫迷张青（音译）表示：“我认为大多数动漫迷会感到失望。”
 
　　“It’s true that today’s kids might not be familiar with old animes like Ikkyu-san, but I’d rather recommend that they watch the original.”
 
　　“确实，现在的孩子们可能对像《聪明的一休》这样的经典动画不是很熟悉，但我还是强烈建议他们去看原版。 ”
 
　　Like Zhang, many Internet users lamented 8 the remakes. “I feel that my childhood memories are ruined,” that’s the most common online review you can hear from the Ikkyu fans.
 
　　和张青一样，许多网民纷纷吐槽这些经典翻拍。 “我觉得自己的童年回忆被毁了，”这是网上一休迷们最为普遍的一种评价。
 
　　That might be exaggerating a little. But after watching the new mini series, a classic quote from the boy monk can precisely 9 describe my feelings–“I need to take a break”.
 
　　这可能有点夸大其词。但扎起看过真人版的迷你剧集之后，一休的经典台词恰恰表达了我的感受：“休息，休息一会儿。”
