The word game in "The Ghost Party"

The movie script of "The Ghost Party" was leaked on the Internet after being obtained by hackers. Later, there were reports that Daniel Craig was also involved and rewriting the script. There were also reports that Craig was very angry and the screenwriter went on strike. , So he said that both directors and actors can participate in writing scripts, meaning that they completely give up on screenwriters. But from the movies that came out, although the plot is a bit BUG, ​​many lines are still quite interesting. I don't know if it is the hands of the director, Craig, or the screenwriter.

First of all, let’s talk about the title spectre, which is the name of the mysterious organization that Bond has fought for a long time. There is still controversy about the translation of this name, because in those very old 007 movies, spectre is translated as "Devil Party" This time it was translated as a ghost party, and many people were upset and felt that there was no need to change the name. But this translation method is quite interesting, even a bit dark.

The most classic use of spectre I can think of comes from the two most classic bearded men in the school wall portraits when we were young: Marx and Engels. They wrote at the beginning of the "Communist Manifesto": "A ghost, The specter of communism wanders in Europe. In order to carry out a sacred encirclement and suppression of this specter, all the powers of old Europe, the pope and tsar, Metternich and Gizo, the radicals of France and the German police, have united."

That’s right, in the first sentence of the English version of the "Manifesto of the Communist Party," the original word for "ghost" was spectre. As for the original author of 007, Ian Fleming, who was born as a spy, used spectre as the name of the mysterious organization. It's not for hacking anyone, then only his old man knows best.

So, by now you should know that translating into the Ghost Party is obviously more meaningful than the Devil Party.

In addition to the translation of the title, many of the dialogues in the movie "Ghost Party" are also quite worthy of recollection of word games, because they are listening to the film, the following may be slightly different from the dialogue, please don't hit me, please go to the theater to listen, the original text shall prevail. , I can’t remember some of the time sequence, think of which one to write which.

1. The Q, who behaves very much like a roll, said to Bond to the car that was destroyed with only the shell, return the equipment in one piece, not one piece, what I said was to make it intact Bring it back, not just a piece.

2. Bond’s boss M, he said to C, who was thinking about annexing intelligence agencies, mastering the intelligence resources of various countries, and ending Project 00, that agents are more important than intelligence, and killing people is not only as simple as sending drones, and then he said When you get to Bond, you have to look into the eyes of the other person when you kill: the license to kill, is also the license not to kill. He has the right to choose to kill, and sometimes he has to choose not to kill. When this sentence came to the back, when Bond stood on the bridge with a gun at Waltz, it was fulfilled. This is not only an argument with C, but also a foreshadowing.

3. Bond, he met Bellucci at the funeral. She asked Bond if he knew his deceased husband. He said he did. She asked Bond what he did. Bond said: insurance, which sells insurance. She said, "You're late," Bond said, "It's too late for your husband, but some wives won't live long after the husband's death." This implies that she will be hunted down by the ghosts, and I can save your life.

4. Bond’s female assistant, moneypenny moneypenny. Bond was hunted down in Rome. He called Chambaney late at night and asked her to find a name. At this time, the man in Chambaney’s room asked what happened in the middle of the night. What's the matter? Bond asked who that voice was on the other end of the phone. Chambany said he was a friend, and Bond continued to ask. Chambany complained to Bond and said: it's called life, james, you should try, this is called life , You should really try too.

5. Pale king, he said to Bond: you're a kite dancing in the hurricane Mr Bond, I think the subtitle translation of the cinema version in mainland China seems to be a literal translation, you are like a broken kite or something, but I am in Hong Kong When I watched it, it seemed that the subtitles of the Hong Kong version were directly turned into: Bond, you are in danger or something. I think it's pretty good.

6. Bond saw the live broadcast of the disbandment of MI5 on the Beofold monitor. M said in the camera that there is a French proverb, the fate of glass is to be break, the fate of glass is to be broken, so the fate of the agent It just disappears.

7. Still from M, C pulled out his gun from the drawer under the table and wanted to hit M. While smugly saying, now we know what M stands for ,moron, now we finally know what M stands for, it's an idiot. Then he pulled the trigger and found that there were no bullets in the gun. At this time, M was sitting on the sofa in the distance, spreading out the bullets that he had unloaded and held in the palm of his hand and said, now we know what C stands for, careless, Now we know what the abbreviation C is, careless. This is also a scene where language and writing are used to compete.

8. Beofold reported on his entangled relationship with Bond, saying that you came across me many times, but you never saw me, i'm the author of all your pain. That author is very elegant, and writes ghost ghosts for your life's pain.

9. When Bond entered the hotel room and introduced Dr. Q to Swann, Q said a French word in English, enchanted, because Swann speaks French in the film.

10. Chambany asked Bond back, why you trust me, Bond said, instinct, instinct, this kind of thing, you can only say it after you have practiced it.
