Fans may remember, in the last film, the EMP weapon that could knock out every bit of electronics in a high-security military facility while somehow not interfering with the video monitor sitting right next to it. This time around, our heroes head into a chase with arrays of electromagnets in their trunks that are powerful enough to pull heavy trucks across lanes of traffic, or even flip an armored truck the size of a train car end-over-end. But somehow, those magnets have no effect on the axles, gearshifts and made-in-the-’70s steel frames of the muscle cars carrying them.

影迷们可能还记得，在上一部电影中，电磁脉冲武器可以在不干扰旁边的视频监视器的情况下，摧毁一个高度安全的军事设施中的所有电子设备。这一次，我们的英雄们开始追逐，他们后备箱里的电磁铁阵列强大到足以把重型卡车拖过车道，甚至能把一辆火车车厢大小的装甲卡车翻过来。但不知怎么的，这些磁铁对车轴，变速杆和70年代制造的钢框架都没有影响。



*EMP=electromagnetic pulse，电磁脉冲。



*knock out，敲空；击倒；打破；使筋疲力竭。



*end-over-end，上下颠倒，翻来覆去。



This probably sounds like more fun than it is. As in Lin’s last feature, the disappointing Star Trek Beyond, the director/co-writer takes a quantity-over-quality approach, throwing more action,subplots and characters into the mix than any movie needs while still leaving one with the sense that something’s missing. The maximalist strategy makes even less sense considering the simple idea at this episode’s heart: Dom has a brother his pals don’t know about; a tragedy in their youth separated them; and now he’s a bad guy.

这可能听起来比实际情况更有趣。与林诣彬执导的上一部影片《星际迷航3:超越星辰》一样，这位导演兼联合编剧采用了数量高于质量的方法，在影片中加入了比任何电影都多的动作、次要情节和人物，而这仍会让人感觉哪里缺了点什么。考虑到这一集核心的简单想法，这种最大限度的策略就更没有意义了。多姆有一个他的伙伴们不知道的兄弟；他们年轻时的一场悲剧把他们分开了；现在他是个坏人。



*subplots，次要情节，陪衬情节。



*maximalist，n. （尤指政界）最高纲领主义者；adj. 最高纲领主义的。在这里是“最大程度的”。



Qhe script — not penned by series regular Chris Morgan, but sporting dialogue just as flat as usual — takes us to more exotic locations than we’d expect from a Mission: Impossible film, sometimes barely staying in one spot much longer than it takes to ask, “Remind me what country Montequinto is in?” It sets Dom’s crew in a race to find the other half of that world-controlling weapon before Thanos — I mean, Jacob — does, and, when they fail, it asks them to stop Jacob before he can power it up. That’s where the space travel comes in, and really, the less said about that, the better. Suffice it to say that the car jumping from skyscraper to skyscraper to skyscraper in Furious 7 was a lot more fun.

片子的剧本——并非由该系列的常驻编剧克里斯-摩根（Chris Morgan）撰写，但其对话与往常一样平淡无奇——将我们带到了比我们所期望的《碟中谍》更多的异国他乡，有时在一个地方停留的时间几乎比问 "提醒我 Montequinto 在哪个国家 "还要长。它让多姆的团队竞相在灭霸——我是说本片中的雅各布——之前找到那件控制世界的武器的另一半，而且，当他们失败时，它要求他们在雅各布启动它之前阻止他。这就是太空旅行的意义所在，真的，关于这一点，说得越少越好。我只想说，《F7》中汽车从摩天大楼跳到摩天大楼的过程都要有意思得多。



And, not that anyone cares, but it was more believable as well.

不是说有人在乎它，只是它确实更加可信。



*Mission: Impossible，由汤姆·克鲁斯主演的、大名鼎鼎的《碟中谍》系列，目前第七部已经完成拍摄。



*Thanos，即“复联”中的反派灭霸，这里用来指代速9的反派Jacob，可见灭霸在某种程度上已经成了反派的象征。



*Suffice it to say，只想说...，只要说…就够了。
