亦正亦邪的漫威另類英雄”毒液”登場

The fictional superhero Spider-Man is familiar to us all, with his red and blue webbed costume. And now, it’s time for Venom, a character who first appeared in the 2007 Spider-Man 3 movie, to take the spotlight.

一身紅藍相間蜘蛛服的超級英雄“蜘蛛俠”，大家都很熟悉了。如今是該“毒液”大顯身手的時候了，這個角色曾在2007年的電影《蜘蛛俠3》中首度出場。

UK actor Tom Hardy, 41, who stars as the title character in the movie Venom, plays “a lighter antihero with both good and evil minds, who is supposed to be an alternative to the standard superhero,” reported BBC News.

據BBC新聞報道，41歲的英國演員湯姆·哈迪扮演了電影《毒液：致命守護者》的主人公，這是“一名亦正亦邪、帶有些許反英雄意味的人物，是與大家公認的超級英雄相對的另類英雄。”

In the film, TV journalist Eddie Brock is a strange man who often breaks things and screams. To some extent, he’s regarded as a loser as his life is full of trouble, including a breakup with his fiancee.

影片中，電視臺記者艾迪·布洛克是個經常搞破壞並且喜歡大吼大叫的怪人。在某種程度上，他被視爲失敗者，生活一團糟，還和未婚妻分了手。

Soon in the story, Brock is infected by Venom, a being from outer space. By sharing a body with it, Brock changes into a 3-meter-tall monster.

故事中，布洛克很快被來自外太空的生命“毒液”感染。布洛克和“毒液”共用一具身體，變成了一個3米高的怪物。

People may think the monster with a snaking tongue and sharpened teeth is powerful, but it turns out that Venom is also “a loser” on its home planet.

人們或許會認爲，這個長舌尖齒的怪物異常強大，但其實“毒液”在自己的母星也是個“失敗者”。

“Most superheroes or supervillains are individuals; it’s just about one person. And what’s unique and really awesome about Eddie and Venom is that it’s like one plus one equals three,” the movie director Ruben Fleischer told CBR News.

“大多數超級英雄或者超級大反派都是獨立的個體 —— 故事都只和一人有關。但艾迪和‘毒液’令人驚歎的獨特之處就在於，他們達到了1+1=3的效果，”電影導演魯本·弗雷斯徹在接受“漫畫書資源”(CBR) 新聞網站採訪時表示。

The superhero with a scary yet smiling face has uncontrollable superhuman strength, as well as a darkness inside of him. At first, Brock’s alien “visitor” simply begins as a voice in the journalist’s head. But soon, it takes over Brock, attacking those he doesn’t like and causing trouble.

這位笑臉陰森可怖的超級英雄擁有無法控制的超能力，且內心陰暗。布洛克的外來“訪客”一開始只是這位記者頭腦中的聲音。但沒多久它就控制了布洛克，攻擊那些他不喜歡的人，製造了不少麻煩。

In an effort to find a proper way to co-exist, Venom helps Brock in his fight against a super-rich man who is furious over a report Brock writes on an evil scheme the man’s planning. And eventually, Venom and Brock decide to work together to stop evil from taking over Earth.

爲了找到合適的共生方法，“毒液”幫助布洛克對抗一名超級富豪，後者因爲布洛克在一篇報道中揭露了其陰謀而怒火中燒。最終，“毒液”和布洛克決定並肩作戰，共同阻止邪惡勢力入侵地球。

So the message Fleischer wants to send to audiences is that even those with a humble background can develop power. And as a line near the end of the movie proves when Venom tells Brock, “I’m a loser like you”, we can all become heroes if we work together.

因此，弗雷斯徹想向觀衆傳遞這樣的信息：出身卑微的人也能擁有力量。正如影片結尾“毒液”對布洛克所說的那樣：“我和你一樣是個失敗者，但我們攜手合作便能成爲英雄。”
