冰雪奇缘II,明日上映
Just six years after the Disney film Frozen unleashed upon an unsuspecting populace the soaring power ballad "Let It Go" — a song that proved no mere harmless earworm, but instead a devastatingly memetic musico-epidemiological event, a tuneful tapeworm that proceeded to infect the world's theater auditions, cabaret acts, drag repertoires and (especially) car rides to and from your kids' swim lessons — its sequel Frozen II now lies in wait, gestating in its bowels another song of similar belty pandemic virulence that, this coming weekend, will secure itself a billion or so fresh hosts.
六年前迪士尼电影公司拍摄的《冰雪奇缘》那首充满激情的主题曲《随它吧》红遍了千家万户—这首歌证明了其不仅仅是一首动听的旋律,而且成了一首流行音乐史上现象级的作品,影响了全世界的影院观众,歌舞表演,翻唱曲目以及(特别是)你接送孩子上游泳课路上听的音乐—如今,它的续集《冰雪奇缘II》也蓄势待发,准备带来另外一首同样爆红的音乐,就在这周末,将会与十多亿的观众见面。
The new song is called "Into the Unknown," which suggests it speaks to the mysterious, the uncertain, the uncanny.
这首新歌叫做《探寻未知》,表明它讨论的是一种神秘,一种未知,一种不确定性。
That's certainly the pitch it tries to make, though it must be said there's very little mystery to be mined from a song as clearly and rigorously and calculatingly focus-grouped to target precisely the same brain pleasure-centers that "Let It Go" first burrowed its hooks into, back in 2013.
这当然是这首歌希望达到的高度,不过不得不说的是在2013年《随它吧》已经在观众脑海中深深扎根,如此清晰,强烈而且反复地刺激了我们的大脑愉悦中心之后,要想带来更多未知的体验怕是很难了。
Like "Let It Go," it's sung by Queen Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel), the ruler of the fairy-tale Scandinavian land of Arendelle.
跟《随它吧》一样,这首歌是由艾尔莎女王(由艾迪娜·门采儿)演唱的,她是童话故事之中斯堪的纳维亚土地上的艾伦戴尔的统治者。
Unlike "Let It Go," which came at that first film's second-act turn and was at least a defiant if haltingly quasi-feminist anthem about shrugging off society's rigid expectations to claim one's power for oneself (albeit doing so in a pretty sparkly gown, with a waist the circumference of a Swedish krona), "Into the Unknown" comes earlier in the sequel; it's Frozen II's "I Want" song — and what Elsa wants, she sings, is: something else.
而跟《随它吧》不同,前作是在第一部电影的第二幕转场时出现的,是一首挑战性的,甚至是一首正在迟疑的准女权主义者的颂歌,内容是关于摆脱社会的刻板期望对为自己争取权力的决心(尽管她唱的时候穿的是一件闪亮的礼服,腰围只有瑞士的一克朗那么长),《探寻未知》在续集中会更早出现;它是《冰雪奇缘II》的一首表达“我想要”——艾尔莎想要什么的歌曲,她唱的是不同的想法。
