BBC Learning English - Hot Fuzz 热血神探

　　Chen Li: 原来他们都来自这个地区，感到将动作片的场景设在这里会十分有趣。

　　Vicki: He calls it an overblown cop action film. Cop is another slang word for a policeman.

　　Chen Li: Overblown 意思是过头的。那么他用来形容美丽乡村风景的词是什么呢？

　　Vicki: Chocolate box and picture perfect. It’s the kind of place that you might see a picture of on a chocolate box; because it looks so quiet and peaceful and nice.

　　Chen Li: 所以，对一个动作片来说，这里是一个很意外的场景。

　　Vicki: Yes and the film is also unusual because there aren’t many films made about the British police. People have shied away from doing that.

　　Chen Li: Shied away from 意思是避免去做某事。如今有很多关于美国警察的动作片，可是和英国警察相关的可不多，为什么呢？

　　Vicki: Well, mainly because they are not considered ‘cool’! Here’s Simon again to explain.

　　The whole thing is that the British police service have been hard to kind of glamorize in a way. It’s quite a traditional force, the uniform doesn’t lend itself to sort of romanticism, and people have shied away from actually making them into sort of movie figures.

　　Chen Li: 英国警察看起来很传统。

　　Vicki: Traditional, and their uniforms are boring! Simon said, “it doesn’t lend itself to romanticism”.
