A lighter touch
硬漢身，少年心：《雷霆沙贊！》爆笑來襲
In recent years, superheroes such as Superman, Thor, Iron Man, and Black Panther have featured in film series with complex, serious storylines about the end of the universe. However, the makers of Shazam!, which came out in China on April 5, have a different take on the superhero movie.
近年來，以超人、雷神、鋼鐵俠、黑豹等超級英雄為主角的系列電影中都呈現了關于宇宙終結的嚴肅復雜的故事線。但4月5日登陸國內院線的電影《雷霆沙贊！》，卻在超級英雄電影上另辟蹊徑。
It's "just a light, funny ... action comedy about a boy in a superman's body", wrote Owen Gleiberman in his review for Variety magazine.
這部電影“就是一部輕松的喜劇動作片，講述了一個擁有超人般身體的男孩的故事，”歐文·格雷伯曼在為《綜藝》雜志撰寫影評時如此寫道。
Billy Batson, the film's main character, is a 14-year-old who's been in and out of foster homes. One day, on the way to another home, Batson escapes to the subway and meets a wizard, who gives him magical powers. Whenever Batson says "Shazam" he changes into an adult-sized man with superhuman strength.
影片主角比利·巴特森是個輾轉于多個寄宿家庭的14歲少年。一天，在前往又一個寄宿家庭的路上，巴特森逃到了地鐵站，并遇到了一位賦予其魔力的巫師。每當巴特森大喊一聲“沙贊”時，他就會變身成為一個擁有超能力的大人。
But how does he use his new superpowers? With the help of his new foster brother Freddie Freeman, Batson tests his strength like any teenager would do – by breaking the rules. He smashes open a soda machine to get a drink, tricks his teachers, and even buys beer.
但他如何使用自己的全新超能力呢？在他新“收養“的兄弟弗萊迪·弗里曼的幫助下，巴特森用青少年的方式測試了自己的能力 —— 打破規矩。他砸開自動販賣機取飲料，捉弄老師，甚至購買啤酒。
While the film is fun and joyous, it also has emotional weight. A major part of the story is Batson searching for his real mother. And later when Batson faces the villainous Dr Thaddeus Sivana, a former misfit kid himself, he realizes that his newfound superpowers can't fix all the problems, and that he has something precious to protect – his new family.
盡管這部電影歡樂有趣，但其中也蘊含著深刻的情感。故事的一大主線是巴特森尋找自己的生母。而后來，當巴特森面對反派希瓦納博士 —— 他也曾是個不合群的孩子時，巴特森意識到，自己新得到的超能力并不能解決所有的問題，他還有珍貴之物要去保護 —— 他的新家庭。
"With strong messages about families of all shapes and sizes and the importance of supporting and nurturing young people, Shazam! really feels like the movie we need right now," Den of Geek website noted.
“《雷霆沙贊！》描述了各種不同類型的家庭，表達了支持和培養年輕人的重要性，它的確就是我們目前所需的電影，”Den of Geek網站指出。
