现代版福尔摩斯绅士过头竟变书呆子

2010-08-31来源:和谐英语

  Imagine a modern Sherlock Holmes with a Blackberry phone instead of a pocket watch. Holmes travels around London by taxi instead of coach and horse. And the famous detective hunts criminals by launching the GPS on his laptop.  

  想象一下现代夏洛克·福尔摩斯的样子——黑莓手机代替了怀表、出行工具也由长途客车、马匹变成了出租车、这位著名的神探甚至用手提电脑上的全球定位仪来追捕罪犯。

  This 21st century Holmes is the star of BBC One’s three-part series Sherlock. It sets Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s tales in the present day and shows this legendary detective working his deductivemagic in contemporary London.

  这位21世纪的福尔摩斯正是BBC一套节目热播的《神探夏洛克》三部曲中的主角。该剧集将阿瑟·柯南·道尔笔下的故事搬到了当代,向观众展示了这位传奇神探如何在当今的伦敦城续写侦探神话。

  The setting of Sherlock remains true to the original story: Holmes and Dr Watson live at 221B Baker Street; mysterious murders stimulate Holmes’ reasoning powers; and the detective takes on his arch enemyMoriarty. But in the new version, producer Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss rejuvenatethe stories by injecting elements which relate to modern life.  

  夏洛克的人物背景仍然忠于原着:福尔摩斯和华生医生依旧住在贝克街221B号;神秘凶手依旧激发着福尔摩斯的推理能力;这位神探依旧和他的死敌莫里亚蒂较量着。但在新版剧集中,制片人史蒂文·莫法特和马克·加蒂斯利用诸多现代元素为这个古老故事注入新的活力。
