最近,随着芒果台的《宫》热播,“穿越”这个词儿可谓身价倍涨,一时间成为很多年轻人感兴趣的话题。
所谓穿越,是穿越时间和空间的简称,通俗讲是指某人物因为某原因,经过某过程,从所在时空(A时空)穿越到另一时空(B时空)的事件,它不仅仅是指现代人穿越到历史中,还包括古人穿越到今天,今人穿越到未来。严格来说,这一题材并不很新颖,国外有不少脍炙人口的影视作品即是建基于“穿越”,比如《时间旅行者的妻子》(The Time Traveler's Wife)、《时光倒流七十年》(Somewhere in Time)、《触不到的恋人》(The Lake House)、《回到未来》(Back To The Future)、《蝴蝶效应》(The Butterfly Effect)等,都曾影响无数观众,使人们因此更加珍惜生命、珍惜爱人、珍惜眼前时光。
这里我们说的“穿越”用英文表达就是time travel,那么现在时兴的“穿越小说”、“穿越电影”和“穿越剧”就可以分别说成:time-travel novel, time-travel movie, time-travel TV play。请看Wikipedia的英文解释:
Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space, either sending objects (or in some cases just information) backwards in time to some moment before the present, or sending objects forward from the present to the future without the need to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate).
