12月值得期待的电影

cameo

CNN上面推荐了一些12月份即将上映的美国大片，LZ觉得这是一次练习听力和口语的绝佳机会。以下是这几个电影的详细介绍：1."Out of the Furnace" (December 6)


What it's about:故事情节
The story of a desperate man seeking justice for his family has been told with success earlier this year — see Hugh Jackman's "Prisoners" — but Scott Cooper's "Out of the Furnace" is taking a different approach. This crime thriller centers on brothers Russell and Rodney Blaze. The former is a blue-collar steel mill worker who spends his nights caring for their terminally ill father. The other brother, Rodney, is an Iraqi war vet who literally loses himself in an infamous crime ring. When police fail to locate Rodney, Russell takes the search for his missing family into his own hands.


一个为了帮家人申冤早已经绝望的男人被人告知今年上半年他付出的努力会得到回报-——看到休·杰克曼的“囚犯”——但斯科特·库珀的”Out of the Furnace“ 却与众不同。这个犯罪恐怖片围绕着Russell和Rodney Blaze兄弟展开。前者是一个蓝领钢铁厂工人，他在晚上照顾身患绝症的父亲。Rodney 是一位伊拉克战争老兵，但逐渐在一个臭名昭著的犯罪团伙中迷失了自己。当警察无法定位Rodney, Russell决定自己寻找失踪的家人。

2. "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug" (December 13)




What it's about:故事情节
If you really need to know what "Desolation of Smaug" is about, start with J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," as that's the basis for Peter Jackson's trilogy. But Jackson has taken some liberties with translating Tolkien's children's classic to the big screen. As hobbit Bilbo Baggins joins 13 dwarves on their mission to reclaim their land from the vile dragon Smaug, the crew encounter mythical obstacles as well as a character of Jackson's own imagination, Evangeline Lilly's elf Tauriel.


如果你真的需要知道”Desolation of Smaug“ 是什么样的电影, 那先从J.R.R. Tolkien的“The Hobbit”这部电影讲起，因为这是Peter Jackson 三部曲的基础。但是Jackson已经取得认可，可以将Tolkien孩子的经典搬上荧屏。 霍比特人Bilbo Baggins 与13个小矮人的使命是从邪恶龙Smaug那里收回他们的土地。船员们遇到神秘的困难，以及Jackson以自己的性格为原型想象出来的 精灵Evangeline Lilly。
