All Is Well 一切都会好起来
◎By Arthur Hugh Clough 译·赏析/辛献云Whate'er you dream,with doubt possessed,
Keep,keep it snugwithin your breast,
And lay you down and take your rest.
Forget in sleep the doubt and pain,
And when you wake,to work again.
The wind it blows,the vesselit goes,
And where and whither,no one knows.
It will all be well:no need of care;
Though how it will,and when,and where,
We cannot see,and can't declare.
In spite of dreams,in spite of thought,
It is not in vain,and not for nought.
The wind it blows,the ship it goes,
Though where and whither,no one knows.
无论你有什么梦想，纵使心有疑虑，
也要坚守，坚守在胸中，
然后只管躺下，休息放松。
在睡梦中忘却疑虑和伤痛，
醒来之后，继续行动。
风自会吹，船自会行，
无人知道风的去向，船的行踪。
一切都会好起来：无需忧虑；
尽管它何时、何处、何以如此，
我们无法预见，也无法言明。
哪怕只是一个梦想，一缕思绪，
也不会白费心思，徒然无功。
风自会吹，船自会行，
纵然无人知道风的去向，船的行踪。赏析
亚瑟·休·克拉夫(Arthur Hugh Clough,1819~1861)，英国诗人、教育家，是维多利亚时期一位怀才不遇的伟大天才。遗憾的是，他英年早逝，留下的诗作并不多，而且大多诗作在他死后才得以出版。他擅长叙事和心理描写，注重格律和形式的创新，喜欢使用六音步诗行和其他创新形式进行诗歌实验，被认为是19世纪最具前瞻性的诗人之一，其诗歌旋律优美，富有哲理。《一切都会好起来》这首诗表达了诗人对梦想的信念，认为人只要有梦想就要坚守，而不用计较梦想会将我们引向何方。正如风自会吹，船自会行，至于它会吹向何方，行往何处，则无人知晓，也无须知晓。只要有梦想，一切都会好起来，无须庸人自扰，虽然我们无法预见它何时何地以及如何实现，但梦想绝不会是一场空。
这首小诗最大的亮点在于形式的独特。诗歌格律工整，旋律优美，每节七行，每行皆由四音步抑扬格构成，韵式颇为独特，上下两节互为对称，皆为aaa/bb/cc的格式，且每节都是以风和船的比喻结束，使得上下两节语义贯通，融为一体，体现了诗人形式上的创新。

Katy Perry Conquers All 凯蒂.佩里：战无不胜的音乐女
◎By Amy Purdy 译/张晓敏颜色多变的头发、多彩甜蜜的服饰和一双迷人的电眼是她的标签；复古、性感、另类、时尚、无厘头，不论哪种造型她都能轻松驾驭；不管是颁奖仪式、走红毯还是街拍，她都是摄影师们追捧的焦点；生活上，她是一个坚强、风趣又温暖可人的邻家女孩；事业上，她是野心勃勃、能撑起半边天的流行音乐天后；她是推特红人，却能一直坚持勇敢做自己。这位战无不胜的音乐女王就是让粉丝们爱到欲罢不能的“水果姐”凯蒂·佩里！An All-round He-girl
"Thirty-eight," Katy Perry is saying."I still have about 90 to go." She's not talking about finishing a book; rather it's how many concerts she has completed on her Prismatic world tour,which kicked offin May.Thirty-eight nights of Kissing-a-California-girl-Birthday-Fireworking it,now on a two-night stopover in Boston.And 90-something of those are left,finishing in Stockholm on March 22 next year.
At 2 p.m.(Perry's morning,her "working hours" run from 2 p.m.to 2 a.m.),she's sitting on the sofa in her penthousesuite in black workout clothes,her hair slickedback,oatmealin hand,and a precisely applied blobof pimplecream on her chin."I wore it for you," she announces grandly.
This,in a nutshell,is how Perry(total sales,more than 13 million albums and 72 million digital singles; total No.1 singles,nine)plays to the grown-ups.While she has a fan base of "eight to 80,that's what we call it",she is funny,sardonic,in on her own joke.A conversation with Perry has the rat-tat-tatrhythm of word play and a wryhumor—she puts the broadin "broad".
But she's a little low on mojotoday.Last night's concert was "okay," she says."It was the first time in this run that my voice was a little hoarse.I think I tried to overperform for the president." Perry was at the White House two days earlier at a dinner for the Special Olympics,but now she's looking down on a genteelBoston square,scoopingher "boring breakfast"out of a plastic tub."When I don't feel like I have my whole range,I really can't spread my wings.It gets me down a little bit." She's right:in between last night's pyrotechnics,Perry looked most comfortable having a quieter moment with the audience and bestowing a large pizza on two eight-year-olds,one of whom she zippilynoted,"dressed like a Deadhead".
When she's overdone it vocally,Perry has to wear a nametag that says,I'm quiet.Which,as you can imagine,is not the easiest for the proclaiming queen of pop.Katy Perry has to roar.
At 29,turning 30 this month,Perry sits astridean empire.Every key decision on the 127-person tour,"from catering to dancers",is made by her.She has a crackmanagement team,but "it is overwhelming to know what you're doing in 2015 already," she says,sighing.On tour she does two shows in a row,then has one day off—she is big onvisiting art museums—then it's on to the next.She meditates "five to six times a week and has an act-out day about every four to six months.I'll have a cigarette,which I know is absolutely horrible for me,after a few drinks when I'm having a week off.I don't do black tar heroin."一个全能的女汉子“38，”凯蒂·佩里说，“我还剩大约90。”她可不是在谈论读完一本书，而是在说她开始于5月(编注：英文原文发表于2014年9月)的“棱镜”世界巡回演唱会已经完成的场次。在纵情演唱了《我亲吻了一个女孩》《加利福尼亚女孩》《生日》和《烟火》等歌曲38个夜晚之后，现在凯蒂在波士顿停留两晚。这次巡演还有大约90场，将于明年3月22日在斯德哥尔摩落下帷幕。
下午2点(佩里的上午，她的“工作时间”是从下午2点到凌晨2点)，佩里坐在她靠近酒店顶楼的豪华套间的沙发上，穿着黑色健身服，头发整齐地向后梳着，手里端着燕麦粥，下巴上一团祛痘霜涂得恰到好处。“我可是为了你才穿成这样的。”她郑重其事地说。
简单地说，佩里就是这样与成年人相处的，而她可有着1300万张唱片和7200万首数字单曲的总销量，还一共有九首冠军单曲。尽管她拥有“我们称之为从8岁至80岁”的粉丝群，她却风趣幽默，爱嘲讽，爱自嘲。与佩里的交谈有一种文字游戏的砰砰砰的节奏感和一种讽刺的幽默感——她可以毫不掩饰地开一些粗俗的玩笑。
但是她今天却稍微有点儿不在状态。昨晚的演唱会“还不错，”她说，“昨晚是这次巡演中我第一次声音有点嘶哑。我想是之前为总统表演得有点过头了。”佩里两天前在白宫参加了为特殊奥林匹克运动会举办的晚宴，但此刻她却在俯视着安宁而古朴的波士顿广场，从塑料碗里舀着吃她那“无聊的早餐”。“当我觉得我的声音没有完全打开，我就真的没法尽情地唱歌。这让我有点失落。”她说的没错，佩里在昨晚放烟火的间隙看起来最轻松自在，她跟观众一起享受着相对安静的时刻，并把一个大比萨给了两个八岁的小孩，她还眼尖地注意到其中一个“穿得像‘感恩而死’摇滚乐队的乐迷”。
每次用嗓过度后，佩里就不得不戴上一个标签牌，上面写着：我要保持安静。不难想象，这对这位人人称颂的流行音乐女王来说绝非易事，凯蒂·佩里得“咆哮”才对。
现在29岁、这个月就要满30岁的佩里坐跨一个王国。关于这个由127个人参与的巡演，“从餐饮到伴舞”的每一个重要决定都由佩里来做。她有一个一流的管理团队，但是“现在就已经知道自己2015年会做什么让我有点受不了。”她叹了口气说道。在巡演过程中，她会连着表演两场，然后休息一天——她非常喜欢去参观艺术博物馆——接着继续下一场表演。她每周会冥想“5~6次，每4~6个月会有一天尽情放纵。如果有一周的时间休息，我会喝上几杯，再抽根烟，虽然我知道抽烟对我非常不好。我不碰黑焦油海洛因的。”The Quirky and Intelligent Girl Next Door
Of course,Perry's not digging ditches—the Prismatic tour is expected to grossat least $100 million,and further consolidateher position as the top of the pops.But how does a girl live a real life among all of this:seeing family,meeting men?(Perry is currently single.)"I spent four days at home last week," she says,whipping outan iPhone and showing off her equally giant-eyed five-month-old niece,Stella:"We need eye agents," she quips.
Perry can also inspire herself just fine."When I was starting out,I always had a visual for every song I wrote," she recalls."When I'm writing,I would say about seven out of ten times,I have a music video in my head." And when the best-laid plans go amok,she improvises.In 2010,she was due to wear a Viktor & Rolf dress to the Met Gala,"and one of their factories burned down or something a week before." She remembered something she'd found online,a glow-in-the-dark dress—with an extra set of batteries—by a brand called Cute Circuit.She woke up the next morning on the couch("obviously I had turned it up too high," she drawls)to her stylist,Johnny Wujek,throwing a copy of Women's Wear Daily at her."We made the cover.The anarchistsof the Met!"
As she gets older,Perry gives "less of a shit.I hear that the 30s are a better version of your 20s,because you know what you want for yourself." She does have the confidence,however,to admit what she doesn't know."I've always been very attracted to gentlemen who have quite large vocabularies," she explains."One of my favorite apps is the Dictionary.com app.In my late 20s,I've educated myself more than I did growing up because I wasn't able to have a great education.I was taken out of school,put in these weird,kind-of-not-really schools." So there's not just texting,for Perry it's "intellexting".一个古灵精怪的邻家女孩
当然，佩里可不是在做无用功——“棱镜”巡演预计总收入至少一亿美元，还会进一步巩固她流行音乐天后的地位。但这么忙的一个女孩要如何过正常的生活呢：跟家人见面，跟男人约会？(佩里现在是单身。)“上周我在家待了四天。”她说着突然拿出她的苹果手机，给我看她五个月大的侄女斯特拉的照片，她也有一双跟佩里一样的大眼睛。“我们都需要给眼睛找个经纪人。”她俏皮地说道。
佩里还能很好地激发自己的灵感。“刚开始着手的时候，每写一首歌我头脑里都会有一个画面，”她回忆道，“现在写歌的时候，我觉得差不多十次里有七次，我脑海里会出现一个音乐视频。”当周密的计划出现问题时，她还能随机应变。2010年，她本来要穿Viktor & Rolf的裙子出席纽约大都会艺术博物馆的慈善晚会，“但是晚会前一周他们的一家工厂被烧毁了，或出了诸如此类的事。”她想起了之前在网上看到过的某件衣服，那是一件会在黑暗中发光的晚礼服，来自一个叫“可爱电路”的品牌——还多送一组电池。第二天早晨，躺在沙发上睡觉的她(“显然我当时玩得太过了。”她懒洋洋地说)被她的形象设计师约翰尼·武耶克叫醒了，约翰尼扔给她一份《女装日报》。“我们上封面了。纽约大都会艺术博物馆慈善晚会上的捣乱分子们！”
随着年龄的增长，佩里对很多事都“更不在意了。我听说30多岁的你是20多岁的优化版，因为你知道自己想要什么。”不过，她确实有自信能够承认自己所不知道的事情。“我总是会被词汇量超大的绅士吸引，”她解释道，“我最喜欢的手机应用之一是Dictionary.com。我25岁之后自学到的东西比我成年前学到的都要多，因为我以前没能接受非常好的教育。我小时候被迫辍学，被送进一些奇怪的、不太像是真正的学校的地方。”所以对佩里来说，手机发送的不仅是短信息，还是“智慧的信息”。A Queen Brave to Be Herself
Asked about her number of Twitter followers,the most in the celebrity kingdom,Perry picks up her phone and checks:"54.9 million." She likes Twitter but doesn't live for its validation."I can go a week without tweeting and be fine.Like I don't have to say,'Goodnight,'to my followers." She rolls her eyes.
Perry has a love-hate relationship with the Internet."When I do these interviews,a lot of these clips people pull out are like,'Katy Perry doesn't want a man to have babies.'I'm like,'I didn't say that.I just said,I'm good.'Why can't I be a mogul?I want to have a baby,sure,but I want to have a career.I want to have a record label.I want to have an incredible tour.So I'm going to have all of those things.Let's talk about that."
When she's having an off day,Perry gets "quieter.I can snap a little bit,be a little bitchyto the couple of people around me.Tamra,my assistant,is my closest punching bag.But she's strong and understands that I have a lot of pressure on me sometimes.But,you know,I went to Santa Barbara,which is my hometown,the other day,and I just drove there,laid out on the beach in my bikini like a starfish,and nobody cared." Perry's also big on bicycles,on which she is sometimes snapped cruising around New York."The bike is the greatest thing because people don't have enough time to put it together in their heads.I'm like a ghost."
Of course,being the very opposite of a ghost—the rainbow-bright girl's girl who plays to people from eight to 80,from high to low—is the great allureof Katy Perry.She'll put on a show for her fans,but she will listen to herself.She loves the style of the ballsygirls,"Whenever the Internet will put me on blast about whatever I wore,I'm like,'I ain't dressin'for you.I don't dress for you bloggers who are still wearing bandage dresses.'"
She laughs."If you're wearing Alaïa,that's fine."一个敢于做自己的女王
当她被问及推特粉丝数量的时候——在名人圈里佩里的粉丝是最多的——她拿起手机核实了一下：“5490万。”她喜欢玩推特，但并不过分依赖这种虚幻的认可。“我可以一周都不玩推特，也没什么大不了。比方说，我不会非得跟我的粉丝们说‘晚安’才行。”她不以为然地翻了个白眼。
佩里对互联网又爱又恨。“每次我做这些采访，人们总会抓出一些片段，像是‘凯蒂·佩里不想嫁人生子’。我就会回答：‘我没这么说过。我只是说，我现在这样很好。’我为什么就不能成为一个大人物？我当然想有小孩，但我也想有自己的事业。我想拥有自己的唱片公司。我想来场无与伦比的巡演。所以，我会去实现所有这些目标。我们还是谈谈这些吧。”
在休息的日子里，佩里会变得“更安静。我可以小睡一会儿，会对周围的一些人发小脾气。我的助理塔姆拉是我最亲近的出气包。但她承受力很强，也理解我有时压力太大。但是，你知道吗，有一天我回我的家乡圣巴巴拉，我就直接开车到了那里，穿着比基尼躺在沙滩上，像只海星一样，结果没人注意到我。”佩里也很喜欢骑自行车，有时她会被拍到骑着车在纽约闲逛。“骑自行车出行是最棒的，因为人们没有足够的时间在脑海里拼出我的样子来。我就像个幽灵一样。”
当然，佩里与幽灵可是截然相反的，这个彩虹一样光彩照人的女孩，她的表演让8岁到80岁、高层到低层的观众都为之疯狂，而这正是凯蒂·佩里最大的魅力所在。她会为她的粉丝开演唱会，但她会倾听自己内心的声音。她爱极了那些勇敢无畏的女性的风格，“不管我穿的是什么，每次网友攻击我的穿着时，我就会想，‘我又不是穿给你们看的。你们这些博客写手们到现在还穿着绷带裙，我可不是为你们打扮的。’”
她大笑起来。“如果你穿的是阿拉亚(编注：高级定制服装品牌)，那就没问题啦。”
Be Proud of Who You Are为自己骄傲
◎By Katy Perry 译/赵越作为万千青少年的偶像，水果姐Katy Perry不仅带给大家许多好听的歌曲，更传递给众多粉丝满满的正能量。2013年5月，Katy就通过Instagram给粉丝们写了下面这封极具正能量的信。一起来听听水果姐的金玉良言吧。
That's right,folks.Be proud of who you are.Recently,I've been getting a lot of comments and tweets from fans who are struggling with self-harm or being a victim of bullying.Which brings tears to my eyes.I want you to be strong.There's only one you in this world,embrace it.And trust me,when you grow up and become successful those bullies will WISH they were friends with you and were nice to you.Karma1)will do payback to them,just watch.When they bully again,just laugh in their faces or simply say I don't care.If they see it bothers you,they'll continue.If they see that you don't care and that it doesn't bother you,they'll stop! Simple! Stand up for yourself.Make those bullies look stupid.If it gets bad,you can simply tell the authority at school.Another problem is a lot of kids these days who do self-harm.It's horrible to me.Don't ruin your skin.I think your skin is beautiful.Putting scars on your wrists or anywhere else is just heartbreaking for me.Cutting yourself doesn't fix anything.Please,just stop.For me,for your family,for your friends,for you.I understand it's hard.I've never been through it but I have talked to fans like you.Just be clean for today,and see if you can go up to a week maybe?You can slowly progress to stop.I love you!
是的，各位粉丝，为自己骄傲吧。最近我不断收到粉丝们的许多评论和推文，他们要么在纠结要不要自残，要么因成为被欺凌的对象而苦苦挣扎，这让我不禁落泪。我希望你们强大起来。这个世界上只有一个你，欣然做自己吧。相信我，当你长大成人、功成名就之后，那些曾经欺负你的人就会希望自己曾和你做过朋友，希望自己当初友善待你。因果报应会让他们付出代价的，等着瞧吧。等他们再欺负你的时候，当面嘲笑他们或者只说一句“我不在乎”就可以了。如果他们发现你很烦这个，他们就会继续欺负你。如果他们发现你并不在意，也没有被惹恼，他们就会收手！很简单！要为自己抗争。让那些恃强凌弱的人显得愚蠢无知吧。如果情况变得糟糕，你只需告诉学校的负责老师就可以了。还有一个问题是，如今有很多孩子会做出伤害自己的行为，这让我非常震惊。在我看来，你们的肌肤非常美丽，不要破坏它。你们在手腕或者身体的其他部位留下了疤痕，我会非常心痛的。伤害自己无济于事。为了我，也为了你们的亲朋好友，更为了你们自己，请停止这种行为。我知道这很难做到，虽然我没有经历过，但我与像你们这样有过自残行为的粉丝聊过天。首先尝试在今天之内不要伤害自己，再看看自己可不可以像这样坚持大概一个星期？你们会慢慢进步，直到最终不再做出伤害自己的事情。爱你们！
Four Things You Learn Following Katy Perry Around 聆听凯蒂·佩里的心声
◎By Brain Hiatt 译/宋怡秋作为美国四小天后之一，水果姐Katy Perry九次被提名格莱美奖，更创造了一张专辑(指《少年之梦》)里诞生五首冠军单曲的奇迹。在世人眼中，她名满天下、事业有成，是红极一时的大明星，也是众多粉丝的偶像。然而在她自己看来，功名利禄皆乃身外之物。且让我们一起走近Katy，听听她在2014年8月接受《滚石》杂志采访时坦露的心声。She is not completely obsessed with topping the charts.
I'm not trying to ever duplicate what I did on Teenage Dream,because I could never.Prism is more about showing the variety I have as an artist,rather than always having a determined goal to go to Number One or whatever.I mean,it's always nice,but that's not always going to happen.And I don't want to have to conform to try and do that.Like,I don't want to have to play something I'm not to get that Number One or whatever.That's not music.That's math.And I don't want to be that."她并非一心只想登上排行榜首位。“我从来没试图去复制《少年之梦》的成绩，因为我永远都不可能做得到。《棱镜》专辑更侧重于展现我作为艺术家在音乐领域的多面性，而不是我一门心思只想获得排行榜冠军什么的。我是说，能得到排行榜冠军总是件好事，但那并不是每次都会发生的。而且，我也不想非得去遵从这个，去努力这么做。比如，我不愿意为了拿到冠军什么的就被迫不做自己。那不是做音乐，那是做算术，而我不喜欢那样。”She's not into fame.
"I never wanted to be famous.That's a byproduct of what I do.Fame is truly a byproduct of the dream that I had.People want to be recognized for their work,but nobody wants to be famous for nothing.Fame is,I think,disgusting.And it's really hard to separate your public life from your personal life.Useless fame is disgusting.I think if you've got a talent or something to offer,a creative thing to offer to the world,then I think that's beautiful.But that famous for nothing thing is kind of gross.It's a bummer.And,I only ever just wanted to make music and be on stage and play,and offer up my perception of how I view the world,through the songs that I write.But then there's a lot of different things that come with it,and I call them trade-offs.I can't necessarily go downstairs and,like,touch the tree,but I can do a lot of other things."她对名气不感兴趣。“我从没想过要出名，它只是我这份工作附带的结果。名气真的是我在实现自己梦想过程中的一个意外收获。人们都希望通过自己的工作获得别人的认可，然而没有人希望自己徒有虚名。我觉得名气是个令人讨厌的东西，它让你真的很难把公众生活和个人生活分开。毫无用处的名气令人厌恶。我认为，如果你有才华或是可以展示的东西，富有创意可以示人的东西，那我觉得就很棒。但徒有虚名就有点儿没意思了，就不是什么好事了。我其实一直只想创作音乐，登上舞台，尽情表演，并通过我写的歌告诉人们我是如何看这个世界的。然而紧接着就冒出许多各种各样不同的事——我管这些叫有得必有失。我未必能到楼下做点什么(比如摸摸那棵树)，但是我可以做很多其他的事。”She knows careers can be fleeting these days.
"I feel like I've had a pretty long run,considering our kind of fast-paced world we live in,where a lot of things come and go.It's been seven or eight years of a lot of touring,putting out three records and we're still here,folks.You look at someone like Dolly Parton,who's had 27 records,or some crazy-assnumber.Or Aretha Franklin,who has been around forever.Time just compounds,now.We're going at such a fast pace that things don't last as long.But back when there was no Internet,it was like,people could have careers for a decade.I'll be interested to see who has had a career for a decade ten years from now.Time is the truth-teller of all things,and when anybody has a misconception of me,I'm just like,I don't have to prove anything to you now.I'm just going to let time be the truth-teller.We'll see.We'll see!"她知道现如今人们的职业生涯可能会很短暂。“鉴于我们生活在这样一个快节奏的世界，许多事情来得快去得也快，我觉得自己做这行已经挺久的了。这七八年来，我开了很多场巡回演唱会，推出了三张专辑。伙计们，我们现在仍然在干这一行。你们瞧瞧多莉.帕顿(编注：美国著名流行歌手)，她已经发行了27张还是多少张专辑，总之是一个了不得的数字。或是看看艾瑞莎.富兰克林(编注：美国流行音乐巨星)，她也是歌坛的常青树。如今，时间都只得向她们低头了。现在的世界变化太快，很多东西都不再那么长久了。但在互联网出现之前，人们的职业生涯似乎可以持续十年。我倒是很想看看，十年之后，有谁在这行做满了十年。时间会检验一切，如果有谁对我有什么误会，我只会这样想：我无须现在就向你们证明一切。我只会让时间来说明一切。我们拭目以待。拭目以待！”She's touring so hard right now because she sees it as "taking advantage of an opportunity that is presenting itself".
"I just feel like people don't always come out to see live shows but people want to see my show.And it's sold out.People are responsive.It's being offered to me and I don't know if that will always be the case.It's exciting times to be able to sell out arenas in a time where people are blacking outarenas.You know what I'm saying?So be grateful for the opportunity now,because it may not always be that way.I may not always be here.So do it while you can."她目前正在卖力地巡回演出，因为她认为这是在“抓住眼前的机会”。“我觉得人们并不总是愿意出来看现场演出，不过人们想看我的演唱会，而且票都会卖光，观众的反应也很热烈。我现在能得到这种机会，但是不知道将来是否也能一直如此。演唱会现在行情都不大好，在这个时候我的票还能大卖，我感到很兴奋。你明白我的意思吗？所以要对眼前的机会心存感激，因为情况可能并不总会如此。也许我不会一直像现在这样受欢迎，因此要在能抓住机会的时候抓住它。”

Eight Rules of Time Travel in Movies电影中的那些穿越准则
◎From empireonline.com 译/四叶草自从爱因斯坦的相对论为时间旅行提供了理论上的可能性，人们对穿越的幻想和探索就从未间断。那些或严肃，或搞笑，或荒诞的穿越影片就承载着人类对穿越的无限遐想。近来随着影片《星际穿越》大热，穿越是否可行又成了人们热议的话题。不过话说回来，倘若真能回到过去或去往未来，我们该注意些什么呢？假如你对此一无所知，不如先看看那些让人“脑洞大开”的穿越电影里是怎么说的吧！☆At all costs,avoid your ancestors要不惜一切代价回避先辈

The year is 2035 and Earth has been devastated by a deadly virus.Disease has driven humankind underground.You,an imprisoned convictin this dystopiannightmare,have a shot ata pardon:go back in time,find out all you can about how the virus was spread,and return to the future with a sample so an antidotecan be prepared.What's your first move when you get there?Well,if you were Bruce Willis it'd be to get yourself arrested and hospitalized in a mental institution.Great work,Bruce.The lesson in 12 Monkeys is therefore to watch who you decide to tell that you're a time-travelling inmateon a quest to save mankind.No one likes a show-off,after all.
故事发生在2035年，地球已经被一种致命的病毒所毁灭，人类迫于疾病不得不转入地下。作为生活在这一反乌托邦噩梦之中的在押囚犯，你尝试去获得赦免，那你就需要回到过去，竭尽全力弄清这一病毒当年是怎么传播开来的，然后带着一个病毒样本回到未来，好让人们可以准备好疫苗。回到过去之后，你第一步会采取什么行动呢？嗯，如果你是影片中的布鲁斯·威利斯，你做的第一件事就是搞得自己被人抓起来关进一家疯人院。干得可真棒，布鲁斯。《12只猴子》这部影片由此告诉我们，对于该告诉谁自己是一位为拯救人类而穿越回来的囚犯这件事情，一定要小心。毕竟，没有人喜欢爱卖弄的人嘛。☆It's possible to be too productive ...收获良多是有可能的 ……
While poor Harry is off battling Dementors,Hogwart's swottieststudent Hermione spends the year jugglingevery potion-making,spell-memorizing,and charm-casting lesson under the sun—all using a Time-Turner to increase the hours in her day.The lesson here is simple.Using your time-travelling abilities to visit distant ages,experience historical events,or note down future lottery numbers is a waste of time:what you really want to do is pop back every three hours so you can spend more time in Herbology.Great for the grades,but disappointingly lacking in opportunities to walk with dinosaurs,meet your ancestors,or change the course of civilisation.
