原文New Water Margin triggers debate新“水浒传”触发辩论TV adaptations of the Four Great Classical Novels are like tap water in China - no matter how low the creative reservoir appears to sink, the supply never seems to run dry. Following satellite re-adaptations of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and A Dream of the Red Mansion last year, its time for - you guess it - another new version of Water Margin.在中国，根据四大名著改编而成的电视剧就像自来水一般，不管创意宝库枯竭得多快，供给总是源源不断。继去年三国演义和红楼梦被两家卫视翻拍之后，如你猜测的那样，这回该看新版水浒传了。Adapted from the classic novel, the new show, All Men are Brothers is an 86-episode series broadcasting on major satellite TV channels every day, and is already midway through its showing.这个改编自经典小说的新水浒共86集，时下正是各大卫视的每日热播剧集，现在已经播出过半。Modern values现代价值观Aiming to give updated values to the traditional story, the new show has instead caused derision among viewers and critics.尽管新水浒旨在赋予这个传统故事以一种与时俱进的现代价值观，但反而招致观众以及评论家的嘲讽。I knew Li Shaohong (A Dream of the Red Mansion), and Gao Xixi (Three Kingdoms) would stick to the originals, but Ive decided to give a brand new adaptation, Hong Kong director Gaau Leung Guk claimed to media.香港导演鞠觉亮面对媒体采访时说：“我知道李少红（曾执导新红楼梦）和高希希（曾执导新三国演义）都坚持忠于原著，但我想要另一种全新的改编。I never wanted to make TV to be authentic but instead to make an acceptable show for modern viewers in terms of character-building, costume, make-up and storyline, Guk added.鞠觉亮补充说：“我从没想让这部戏还原真实，相反我想通过人物塑造、服装、造型、故事情节等方面，为当代观众呈现一部合他们胃口的戏。”There are several controversial changes for Brothers. Pan Jinlian, portrayed as a loose woman in the original novel and a long-established symbol of such in China, is now recast as a hard-working virginal housewife in the first episodes, refusing several wealthy young suitors.新水浒中的一些改编颇受争议。原著中的潘金莲是一名放荡女子，且这种形象在中国人心中已根深蒂固了。如今，该人物在起初几集中被塑造成了一名勤劳纯洁的家庭妇女，拒绝了许多富家公子的追求。In the novel, Pan murdered her husband with her lover, Ximen Qing. In the new adaption, her affair with Ximen is a romantic love story.小说中潘金莲与情人西门庆一起合谋杀害了她的丈夫。而新版中，她和西门庆的偷情行为却演变成了浪漫的爱情故事。I chose not to show Pans loose side in the beginning so its more dramatic when the truth comes out, Guk insisted.鞠觉亮坚持认为：“故事开始时我选择将潘金莲的放荡一面隐藏起来，因此，真相浮出水面时故事会显得更有戏剧性。”Toothless tiger无牙的老虎The character of Wu Song is iconic in Chinese and East Asian culture for his courage and just nature. His fight with a wild tiger with his bare hands is a household tale - but in the new adaption, Wu uses a knife, the fake-looking tiger is a work of spectacularly unsuccessful CGI and Wus costume has been called ridiculous for resembling the Jack Sparrows in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.武松以其勇敢和正直，成为中国以及东亚文化中的一位英雄形象。他赤手空拳与老虎搏斗的故事家喻户晓，但在新剧中，武松手握尖刀，而通过电脑特技合成的老虎看上去很假很失败，同时武松的戏服模仿了加勒比海盗中的杰克船长，也被观众认为是很“荒谬”。It is not possible to kill a tiger with your bare hands, even the bravest man in the world couldnt, so we had to give Wu Song a knife, Guk argued.鞠导演说：“赤手空拳打死老虎是不可能的，即使是世界上最勇猛的人都无法办到，因此我们给武松加了把刀。”Homosexual heroes英雄遭遇同性情结All men might be brothers but just how close are these bros? The new version emphasizes their looks and emotions too much, some say.梁山好汉们可能彼此间都称兄道弟，但这些兄弟间到底有多亲密呢？有人认为新剧过于强调他们的外表和情感了。The character Lin Chong is a man so handsome, he habitually attracts male compliments. In fact, a generally homosexual atmosphere pervades the whole bandit series. Lin is habitually described with female imagery and the men wear flowers and sport various tattoos.林冲长相英俊，经常会招来同性的赞美。事实上，整部有关绿林好汉的剧集中普遍充斥着一种同性情结。林冲常常被刻画成一个女性化的形象，同时一些男性角色佩戴起花饰，而且有很多纹身。I need to deal with each unique personality, Guk responded. For instance, Tong Guan is a eunuch, so he is a little gay. Using a female metaphor for Lin Chong is a joke, not gay flirting! We also did research. men did wear flowers in the Song Dynasty.鞠导演说：“我需要处理每个独一无二的人物。比如，童贯是太监，因此他会有一点同性恋情结。将林冲比喻成女性这是玩笑，而绝非同性间的调情！我们也做过相关研究，宋朝时男人们的确佩戴花饰。”The original novel is gory, earthy and full of amoral sex and violence - theres even cannibalism. All thats been excised. They sex and violence, of course, cannot be shown on TV if they want to pass censorship, film critic Hu Liang said.水浒传原著充满着血腥和粗俗，有许多非道德的色情与暴力情节，甚至还有吃人场面的描述。这些全部被删掉了。影评人胡亮（音译）表示：“要想通过审查，这些暴力色情的画面肯定不能搬上荧屏。”Unbelievable! 10 worlds most bizarre relationship盘点史上最“雷人”的恋爱艾菲尔夫人幸福地与艾菲尔铁塔在一起 Erica Eiffel, a soldier who lives in San Francisco, fell in love with the Eiffel Tower.
