《萬物理論》：關於霍金的兒女情長

To us out here in the parts of the world that are not the rarefied halls of Oxford and Cambridge Universities, I guess Stephen Hawking has always been the misshapen figure in the wheelchair, the owner of that robotic American voice, the world-renowned physicist, the best-selling author, The Simpsons' guest star, and the punchline to a hundred lousy stand-up comedians jokes.
除了牛津和劍橋大學的狹窄的大廳裏，在世界的其他一些地方，我猜斯蒂芬·霍金也一直體態畸形地坐在輪椅上，他像一個美國機器人那樣發出聲音,是世界著名的物理學家,暢銷書作家,也是電影《辛普森一家》的客串,裏面他的妙語連珠引發了衆多單口相聲的笑點。

The Theory of Everything is writer Anthony McCarten's and director James Marsh's attempt to fill in the backstory; to give us a brief history of Hawking, and the people and events that shaped him.
《萬物理論》是編劇安東尼·麥卡滕和導演詹姆斯·馬什共同完成的電影，他嘗試去補充一些背景故事，給我們一段關於霍金的大致經歷，包括他身邊的人以及他做的事。

Working from Jane Hawking's memoir of her marriage to Stephen, New Plymouth-born McCarten guides the story along a very fine line.
影片根據霍金的妻子簡霍金的回憶錄改編，出生於新普利斯頓的麥卡騰以此爲主線展開了鋪敘。

Young Hawking might have been preternaturally smart, but he was also funny, charming, awkward and head over heels in love. The Theory of Everything captures all this nicely, without ever too obviously dumbing down the man's intelligence and incredible achievements.
年少時的霍金就聰慧過人，但他也同樣幽默風趣，魅力十足，有時犯二也真心對待愛情。《萬物理論》把這些都展現得淋漓盡致，同時又突出了霍金過人的才智和驚人的成就。

Eddie Redmayne is getting all the praise for his performance as Hawking, and quite rightly. It is a wonderful piece of work and you wouldn't bet a cent right now against Redmayne picking up the Oscar. But for me, it is the quiet, unflashy and perfectly calibrated performance of Felicity Jones as Jane that gives The Theory of Everything its heart and soul.
作爲霍金的扮演者，埃迪·雷德梅尼以出色的演技，名副其實地飽受讚譽。這是一個非常成功的作品，你一分錢都不會拿出來打賭反對雷德梅尼獲得奧斯卡。但對我來說，由菲麗希緹·瓊斯飾演的簡，這個安靜，不起眼的，沒有如此完美的出演給影片注入了精神和靈魂。

There is so much to like and admire about this film. The sense of era and place is beautifully conveyed, the complicated and shifting relationships are clearly and sympathetically laid out, while the science – and its importance – is neither glossed over nor impenetrable.
關於這部影片有太多令人喜歡和欣賞的地方。科學極其它的重要性既沒有被忽略也沒有讓觀衆費解，同時，對於時空的概念傳達得婉轉動人，複雜多變的關係被清楚而帶有一絲沉重地表達。

The Theory of Everything is a lesson in how biopics should be done: honest, occasionally unflattering, often funny, and unavoidably heartbreaking.
《萬有理論》給了傳記電影應該如何演繹一個很好的範例：誠信，穿插一些真誠，常有的笑點，以及無法控制地戳中淚點。

This is a very good film, about more than one remarkable life.
這是一部非常好的影片，不僅僅只是關於一個傑出的人生。
