Neither hot nor cool, "Frozen II" serves up lukewarm leftovers from the 2013 hit
不热乎，也不透心凉：《冰雪奇缘 2》从2013年大火的前作里，分了我们一口温吞的剩饭
Once upon a time, Disney sent its subpar sequels to the kingdom of Straight- to-Video - a magical land filled with such titles as "The Return of Jafar," "Cinderella II: Dreams Come True" and "The Little Mermaid lI: Return to the Sea." It was a happier time, one that is now apparently over, as "Frozen lI" hits theaters.
从前，迪士尼会把他们不够格的电影续作发配到“影音首映王国”这 个魔法国度中充满了这样的名字：《贾方复仇记》 、《仙履奇缘 2:美梦成真》，以及《小美人鱼2:重返大海》。那本是一段更快乐的时光，但显然，好景不再，因为《冰雪奇缘2》在影院上映了。
"Frozen lI" starts off on shaky ground, largely because it backtracks on much of the character development Anna and Elsa went through in thefirst movie. At the end of "Frozen,“Elsa had learned that her powers were a gift, not a burden, and she had become confident and proud in using them. At the beginning of "Frozen II, “that confidence is gone.
《冰雪奇缘2》有着一个没什么说服力的开场。这很大程度上是因为，安娜和艾莎在第一部中经历的很多角色成长，在第二部被推倒重来了。在《冰雪奇缘》的结尾，艾莎领悟到她的魔法是天赋而不是负担，她也变得能够自信且自豪地使用魔法。但在《冰雪奇缘2》的开头，那份自信消失了。
Whatever technical advancements have been made in computer animation over the past six years aren"t readily apparent in "Frozen II, ”which mostly has the same frosty look as the first film. An impressive sea battle between Elsa and a glowing ice horse -just go with it- is as good as the visuals get.
电脑动画技术于过去6年中取得的任何进步，在《冰雪奇缘2》中都没怎么明显体现一它大体还是 跟第一部一样，一副冰天雪地的老样子。艾莎和发着光的冰马在海中的战斗倒是挺让人印象深刻的一反正你就跟着往下看吧，这场面竟然就是整部片子视觉效果的巅峰了。
The biggest disappointment? The music. In "Frozen,”even the throwaway songs had wit.Returning composers Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez try to give Elsa two showstopping numbers: "Into the Unknown" and "Show Yourself." But neither song reaches any emotional heights.(Never mind that there really isn"t a show to stop.)
最令人失望的？是音乐。在《冰雪奇缘》中，即便是那些随口哼出来的曲子也有点意思。续作中回归的作曲家罗伯特.洛佩兹和克莉丝汀.安德森-洛佩兹，也试图给艾莎打造两首令人拍手叫绝的曲子：《Into the Unknown》 和《ShowYourself》 。但无论哪首也没在情感上达到什么高度。(更别提这部电影就没什么让人想停下来拍拍手的地方。)
Yes, "Frozen II" is a letdown when compared with the original. It"s hard to see how the same team who made something so cool in 2013 could deliver something so一there"s no other word for it一lukewarm.
是的，《冰雪奇缘 2》和前作比起来令人失望。难以理解这个在2013年拍了那么棒的电影的团队，是怎么拿出一个如此“温吞”的东西的一也没别的形容词了。
