BBC Learning English - Film Sequels 电影续集

　　Helen: But we do have someone who thinks good sequels do exist.

　　Oliver: 我们听到的另一个观点是说很多续集电影还是非常不错的，它能够帮助观众更好的理解第一集。

　　I think a good sequel can actually improve the film that it’s a sequel to, because it can expand on the story.

　　Helen: Oliver, have you heard of Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage?

　　Oliver: Yes, of course. 尼古拉斯.凯奇曾拍过很多优秀的动作片。我自己就非常喜欢他的电影。

　　Helen: Although Nicolas Cage has made many big blockbuster films sometimes he finds that his films are up against heavy competition from big sequels in the cinemas.

　　Oliver: 那他是怎么看这种竞争的呢？特别是很多大制作电影的续集，经常是一副舍我其谁的样子？

　　Insert

　　I have to keep hoping that we’re going to have original scripts and original stories, and not just a world of sequels, because I think that would be very boring ultimately.

　　Helen: Strong feelings from Nicolas Cage. He hasn’t mentioned any film titles, but we know which films he’s referring to.

　　Oliver: 尼古拉斯.凯奇希望电影界能够鼓励和支持更多的原创剧本 original scripts和原创故事 original stories.
