《英雄》的英文简介:
Near the end of the Warring Kingdoms period of China (over 2000 years ago), Nation of Zhao has three WuXia masters... Sky, Broken Sword, and Flying Snow. Because of them, King of Qin, ruler of Nation of Qin, was not able to sleep properly for ten years, worrying about attempts to kill him. Yet, all three were defeated by a minor Qin official by the name of Nameless... When the news reached the King, the King immediately summoned Nameless to the palace. In the Palace, mysterious candles are burning, and the King summoned Namesless to within a mere 10 steps away. Nameless told his tale about how he was able to use the weaknesses of three WuXia masters against themselves, and defeated them separately. However, King of Qin is a master strategist, and he recognized the inconsistencies within Nameless's story, and came up with his own story: the three WuXia masters allowed themselves to be defeated, in order to get Nameless into ten steps of the King. Nameless is most dangerous assassin of all. Nameless then replied that the King has misjudged one person... Broken Sword. The true story is then revealed... Finally, Nameless picked up the sword. He is only ten steps from the King of Qin, and his specialty move is Death within Ten Steps...
《功夫熊猫》的英文介绍:
Kung Fu Panda is a story that almost tells itself in its title. It is so hard to imagine a big, fuzzy panda performing martial-arts encounters that you intuit (and you will be right) that the panda stars in an against-all-odds formula, which dooms him to succeed. For the panda's target audience, children and younger teens, that will be just fine, and the film presents his adventures in wonderfully drawn Cinemascope animation. (It will also be showing in some IMAX venues.)
The film stars a panda named Po (voice of Jack Black), who is so fat he can barely get out of bed. He works for his father, Mr. Ping (James Hong) in a noodle shop, which features Ping's legendary Secret Ingredient. How Ping, apparently a stork or other billed member of the avian family, fathered a panda is a mystery, not least to Po, but then the movie is filled with a wide variety of creatures who don't much seem to notice their differences.
They live in the beautiful Valley of Peace with an ancient temple towering overhead, up zillions of steps, which the pudgy Po can barely climb. But climb them he does, dragging a noodle wagon, because all the people of the valley have gathered up there to witness the choosing of the Dragon Warrior, who will engage the dreaded Tai Lung (Ian McShane) in kung-fu combat. Five contenders have been selected, the Furious Five: Monkey (Jackie Chan), Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu) and Crane (David Cross). Tigress looks like she might be able to do some serious damage, but the others are less than impressive. Mantis in particular seems to weigh about an ounce, tops. All five have been trained (for nearly forever, I gather) by the wise Shifu, who with Dustin Hoffman's voice is one of the more dimensional characters in a story that doesn't give the others a lot of depth. Anyway, it's up to the temple master Oogway (Randall Duk Kim), an ancient turtle, to make the final selection, and he chooses -- yes, he chooses the hapless and pudgy Po.
The story then becomes essentially a series of action sequences, somewhat undermined by the fact that the combatants seem unable to be hurt, even if they fall from dizzying heights and crack stones open with their heads. There's an extended combat with Tai Lung on a disintegrating suspension bridge (haven't we seen that before?), hand-to-hand-to-tail combat with Po and Tai Lung, and upstaging everything, an energetic competition over a single dumpling.
