《超膽俠》:矇住雙眼也要拯救世界

Superheroes always acquire their powers at a price, usually having to endure pain and torture. The Flash, for example, falls into a nine-month coma before getting superhuman speed. But the price Daredevil pays is even bigger.

超級英雄擁有非比尋常的能力，卻也往往爲此付出了代價。他們不得不忍受痛苦、備受折磨。比如，閃電俠在獲得極速超能力前昏迷了整整九個月，而超膽俠付出的比這還要多。

The blind hero has become a hit on the small screen recently with self-titled drama series “Daredevil”, which premiered on Netflix on April 10 and has surpassed House of Cards in popularity.

4月10日，超膽俠同名電視劇在Netflix上一經播出，就大獲成功、火熱程度力壓《紙牌屋》。

As a child, an accident abnormally heightens Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox)'s senses. He navigates the world by way of a sort of mystical sonar, listening in on people's heartbeats to tell if they're lying and using his gift to augment his balance and agility to superhuman levels. The consequence is he can never see again.

（電視劇的主人公）馬修·默多克（查理·考克斯 飾）因爲兒時的一場意外，感官變得異常靈敏。他能通過神祕的聲納成像洞悉世界，聽心跳即可判斷對方是否撒謊，他還因此擁有超乎常人的平衡力和敏捷度。而擁有這一切的結果就是他永久地失明瞭。

However, he still tries to save the day.

但是，他仍然在努力地拯救世界。

During the day, Murdock runs a law firm with close friend Franklin Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson). As a lawyer, he has to face the cruel reality that even the law can't sometimes right every wrong.

白天，默多克和好友弗吉·尼爾森（埃爾登·漢森 飾）經營着一家律師事務所。身爲律師，他不得不面對有時法律也無法伸張正義的殘酷現實。

At night he becomes Daredevil, wearing a red, horned and armored suit to fight crime and avenge his father, who was murdered after refusing to take a loss in a fixed boxing match.

但是，每當夜晚來臨，他就會戴上帶角頭盔、穿上紅色制服、全副武裝，變身超膽俠，懲惡揚善、爲父報仇。他的父親因爲拒絕在拳擊比賽中假輸而慘遭殺害。

But among his other caped and super-suited counterparts, Daredevil's abilities pale in comparison.

但是與其他斗篷加身、裝備超羣的超級英雄相比，超膽俠的能力變得相形見絀。

Unlike Batman, who has a personal arsenal of advanced fighting equipment, and Spiderman, who can slingshot himself onto roofs and over walls, Daredevil relies mostly on hand-to-hand combat to survive. And sadly enough, in almost every episode of the show, we watch as he is badly battered by his opponents before narrowly securing a victory.

蝙蝠俠的“私人軍火庫”裏滿是先進武器；蜘蛛俠可以用蛛絲飛檐走壁；而超膽俠大多時候卻是赤膊上陣。更虐心的是，幾乎在每一集我們都會看到超膽俠被對手打得遍體鱗傷，最後勉強獲勝。

“He's not super strong. He's not invulnerable. In every aspect, he's a man that's just pushed himself to the limits, he just has senses that are better than a normal human's,” Steven S. DeKnight, the show's executive producer, told entertainment magazine Paste. “He is human.”

正如《超膽俠》的執行製作人蒂文·S·迪奈特在接受娛樂雜誌Paste採訪時所言：“他（超膽俠）並非強大無比、刀槍不入；說到底，他只是在努力超越自己的極限，擁有比常人更強的感官能力罷了。他依舊是個普通人。”

But it's this vulnerability that's brought the show its loyal following.

但是，超膽俠的脆弱卻爲這部劇帶來了一大批忠實的粉絲。

“It's dark and gripping, smart and sure-footed, and takes itself and its audience seriously while avoiding pretentious brooding,” wrote Jack Hamilton of . “So far Daredevil is the best superhero television show I've ever seen.”

來自的傑克·漢密爾頓就寫道：“這部劇神祕又扣人心絃，充滿智慧、節奏穩健；無論是對待自己還是觀衆都非常認真，從不故作深沉。《超膽俠》是迄今爲止我看過的最好的一部超級英雄電視劇。”
