本周四“天能”要来了！找了几篇影评来看，依旧是好中带坏，顺手翻译了几个
段落分享给大家。

Similar to “Inception,” which created an entire dream-world mythology
only to have its revolving-hallway tussle become its most iconic sequence,
in “Tenet,” time inversion poses a civilization-annihilating threat, but
the killer scene is, again, a corridor fight. We see it twice, and each time,
after your brain clicks to one of the combatants fighting forward in time
while the other goes backward, the sheer how-did-they-do-that ingenuity is
dazzling.
“全面启动”建立了庞大的梦境世界，但最经典的场景，却是在旋转的走廊上大战。
“天能”里时间颠倒看似足以毁灭人类文明，但最有魄力的，依旧是走廊之战。我们
看了两次，每次你的脑袋算计著之中一人在时间中前进，另一人在时间中倒退，你不
得不想“他妈的有够厉害”。
Indeed, take away the time-bending gimmick, and “Tenet" is a series of
timidly generic set pieces: heists, car chases, bomb disposals, more heists…
in which all anyone really does is crack safes and blow stuff up.
拿掉扭转时空的小伎俩，“天能”只是一个接一个普通的场景：滔天窃案、飞车追逐、
拆解炸弹、更多窃案…大家做的不过只是拆保险箱和把东西炸掉。
So seems “Tenet,” the kind of hugely expensive, blissfully empty spectacle
it is difficult to imagine getting made in the near-to-medium future, now a
fascinating artifact of a lovably clueless civilization unaware of the
disaster lurking around the corner.
Seek it out, if only to marvel at the entertainingly inane glory of what we
once had and are in danger of never having again. Well, that and the suits.
像“天能”这种有够贵、幸福却空洞的华丽飨宴，在接下来的未来可能很难再拍。此
刻对于躲在角落的灾难，我们的文明摸不著头绪。去看吧！就算只是看看我们曾有过
（也许不再会有）的影视荣光。对了，还有西装。

In the past, Nolan has worked audience anxiety to great advantage with films
like his 2001 breakthrough Memento or the 2017 war masterwork Dunkirk —
precisely owing to the fact those films had running-out-the-clock baked into
their DNA. Tenet, on the other hand, tries to run out so many at once that
it risks audience disengagement. Even its least propulsive segments are
jam-packed with a wearying amount of exposition, reams of hints and clues
过去诺兰将观众的焦虑运用得淋漓尽致，像2001年的“记忆拼图”和2017年的
“敦克尔克，这些片根本就把“时间来不及”写到内存中。“天能”大概来不及太
多次，有可能让人不耐。即便最无关剧情推进的部分，都有满满的解释，大量的暗示
和线索。
In one monologue, Kapadia discusses algorithms, rehashes the Manhattan
Project, and explains the grandfather paradox — making her character feel
more like a university lecturer
其中一段独白，Kapadia说起算法，重提曼哈顿计划，解释起“祖父悖论”，感觉更
像是大学讲师。
There is a gambit in Tenet that can’t help evoking The Matrix, which
continues to loom large over this corner of the cinematic universe two
decades after its release…Nolan introduces the colors red and blue to
indicate which direction the minutes are moving: forward or backward.
Tenet is red pill versus blue pill all over again — but it is hard to
locate a larger philosophical story or message to back it up. B-
“天能”有一招，叫人忍不住想起发行二十年的“骇客任务”…诺兰用红色和蓝色
指出时间往哪个方向去。原来“天能”也是红色小药丸和蓝色小药丸选一，却少了
更大的哲学架构支撑。
总评：B-

Tenet is Bond without the baggage. Filmed in Italy, Estonia, India, Norway,
the UK and the US, it’s a globetrotting espionage extravaganza that does
everything 007 does but without having to lean into the heritage, or indeed
the clichés. Just as with Indiana Jones, for which George Lucas persuaded
Bond fan Steven Spielberg they could create their own hero instead of
piggybacking on someone else’s, Nolan has made his own Bond film here.
“天能”就是没有提行李箱的庞德。拍摄地点包括意大利、爱沙尼亚、挪威、英美，
“天能”世界绕着跑。做一切007会做的事，又不必收下遗产（或包袱）。当年乔治
卢卡斯说服是庞德粉的史蒂芬史匹柏，不需仰赖他人，就能创造自己的“印度安那
琼斯”。诺兰，拍了自己的庞德电影。
These are great actors — Washington, Pattinson, Branagh and Debicki are
all immensely watchable — but only towards the end, as things begin to
pay off, do you really get the chills here and there. For the most part,
everybody’s on a mission, doing their job, the film barely stopping to
breathe, certainly not to take any sentimental detours. And nobody
involved looms larger than Nolan himself.
演员很棒：Washington, Pattinson, Branagh, Debicki 都值得一看，可惜要到电影
最后，你才有一种值回票价的感觉。绝大多数时间，大家都在解任务，几乎没有喘息
空间，更别说情感戏。背后隐约出现的，不是别人，是诺兰。
if you’re after a big old explosive Nolan braingasm, that is exactly what
you’re going to get, shot on old-fashioned film too (as the end credits
proudly state). By the time it’s done, you might not know what the hell’s
gone on, but it is exciting nevertheless. It is ferociously entertaining.
如果你追求的是老式的诺粉脑内高潮，你会如愿以偿，而且用旧式底片拍摄（片尾
大大地写着）。片子演完了，你可能还搞不清楚怎么了，但超刺激，呛辣地好看。

Tenet 正著读，反著读，是同一个字。
