闊別80年它要回歸了！關(guān)于小飛象你不知道的10件事

在迪士尼動(dòng)畫(huà)電影《小飛象》上映近80年后，這一經(jīng)典童話(huà)又將以真人版形式與觀(guān)眾見(jiàn)面了。不過(guò)，新版《小飛象》可不像1941年版那么輕松歡快，事實(shí)上，真人版《小飛象》的劇情要陰暗得多。

曾經(jīng)帶給我們美好回憶的老版《小飛象》，你了解多少呢?

Before it was a movie, "Dumbo" was a children's book.

在被拍成電影前，《小飛象》是一本童書(shū)

Originally published in 1938, "Dumbo" was a children's picture book written by Helen Aberson and illustrated by Harold Pearl. The film rights would later be purchased by Disney, who entrusted the script to Joe Grant and Dick Huemer.

《小飛象》原來(lái)是一本兒童圖畫(huà)書(shū)，文字和插畫(huà)分別由海倫·阿伯森和哈羅德·皮爾創(chuàng)作，最早出版于1938年。后來(lái)迪士尼買(mǎi)下了電影拍攝權(quán)，并委托喬伊·格蘭特和狄克·休默擔(dān)任編劇。

There are amusement park rides inspired by "Dumbo" around the globe.

全球各地都有小飛象主題的游樂(lè)設(shè)施

Inspired by the 1941 film, the Disney ride is oftentimes called "Dumbo the Flying Elephant" and riders can control the altitude of their flying elephant. Variations of the "Dumbo" ride can be found in Disney parks around the globe.

迪士尼的小飛象游樂(lè)設(shè)施靈感源自1941年的這部電影，游玩者可以控制小飛象飛行的高度。在全球各地的迪士尼樂(lè)園可以看到各種小飛象游樂(lè)設(shè)施。

It was Disney's fourth animated film.

《小飛象》是迪士尼的第四部動(dòng)畫(huà)電影

"Dumbo" was only Disney's fourth ever animated film. Released in October 1941, "Dumbo" was preceded by "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Pinocchio," and "Fantasia."

1941年10月上映的《小飛象》是迪士尼的第四部動(dòng)畫(huà)電影。前面三部分別是《白雪公主和七個(gè)小矮人》、《木偶奇遇記》和《幻想曲》。

Dumbo was almost a magazine cover star as Time's "Mammal of the Year."

小飛象差一點(diǎn)就作為“年度哺乳動(dòng)物”成了《時(shí)代》雜志的封面明星

Dumbo was almost named Time's "Mammal of the Year," a play on the magazine's "Person of the Year." Just before the historic portrait cover was released, there was an attack on Pearl Harbor. The magazine pulled the Dumbo cover and replaced December 1941's cover with a portrait of General Douglas MacArthur.

小飛象差點(diǎn)就成了《時(shí)代》雜志的“年度哺乳動(dòng)物”，這是和《時(shí)代》年度人物相對(duì)應(yīng)的戲謔說(shuō)法。就在《時(shí)代》雜志即將發(fā)布封面人物時(shí)，珍珠港遭到了襲擊。于是雜志撤下了小飛象的封面，將1941年12月刊的封面人物換成了道格拉斯·麥克阿瑟將軍。

The original "Dumbo" cover story still ran in the magazine and Dumbo was still "Mammal of the Year," just with an updated introduction paragraph and no official cover.

原來(lái)的小飛象封面故事仍然保留在雜志中，小飛象也依然是“年度哺乳動(dòng)物”，只不過(guò)改了一下引文，沒(méi)有上封面。

It's one of Disney's shortest feature films ever.

《小飛象》是迪士尼有史以來(lái)最短的動(dòng)畫(huà)長(zhǎng)片之一

At just 64 minutes long, "Dumbo" is one of the shortest Disney feature films ever created. The average Disney film typically runs between 80 and 90 minutes.

只有64分鐘的《小飛象》是有史以來(lái)最短的迪士尼動(dòng)畫(huà)長(zhǎng)片之一。迪士尼電影一般時(shí)長(zhǎng)為80到90分鐘。

The film has been called racist.

《小飛象》曾被貼上種族歧視的標(biāo)簽

Parts of the movie, like the inclusion of crows as stereotypically black characters with a stereotyped vernacular, have been lambasted since the film's debut, according to Mic. The leading crow is even named Jim Crow, an overt allusion to discriminatory Jim Crow laws.

據(jù)Mic網(wǎng)站報(bào)道，自從《小飛象》首映后，電影中的一些內(nèi)容就遭到了猛烈抨擊，比如烏鴉被刻畫(huà)成一個(gè)帶有黑人口音的黑人角色。領(lǐng)頭的烏鴉甚至名叫吉姆·克勞，明顯是影射帶有種族歧視的吉姆·克勞法。

lambast[læm'best]: vt. 嚴(yán)厲責(zé)罵

overt[o'v?t]: adj. 明顯的;公然的;蓄意的

The film won an Oscar.

《小飛象》曾獲得奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)

At the 1942 Academy Awards, "Dumbo" won for best music, scoring of a musical picture. The film would also win a Cannes Film Festival award for best animation design in 1947.

在1942年奧斯卡頒獎(jiǎng)禮上，《小飛象》獲得了音樂(lè)片最佳配樂(lè)獎(jiǎng)。該片還在1947年的戛納電影節(jié)上獲得了最佳動(dòng)畫(huà)設(shè)計(jì)獎(jiǎng)。

The circus has a familiar name.

《小飛象》中的馬戲團(tuán)名字有來(lái)頭

If you look carefully, you'll notice that the name of the circus where "Dumbo" takes place is called "WDP Circus." This is likely a nod to Walt Disney Productions, the studio responsible for the film.

如果你仔細(xì)看的話(huà)，你會(huì)注意到小飛象所在的馬戲團(tuán)名叫WDP馬戲團(tuán)。這很可能是在向制作電影的華特迪士尼制片廠(chǎng)(英文首字母縮寫(xiě)就是WDP)致敬。

You might recognize Mr. Stork's voice.

你可能會(huì)覺(jué)得斯托克先生的聲音很熟悉

Although uncredited, Mr. Stork's voice in the film was recorded by Sterling Holloway. Over the years, Holloway would make a name for himself voicing several Disney characters, including a flower in "Bambi," the narrator in "Mickey and the Beanstalk," Cheshire Cat in "Alice in Wonderland," the snake Kaa in "The Jungle Book," and Roquefort in "The Aristocats."

雖然片中為斯托克先生配音的演員沒(méi)有顯示在字幕中，但實(shí)際上是由斯特林·霍洛威錄制的。多年以來(lái)，霍洛威曾為好幾個(gè)迪士尼角色配音，也因此聲名鵲起。這些角色包括《小鹿斑比》中的一朵花，《米奇與魔豆》中的旁白者，《愛(ài)麗絲夢(mèng)游仙境》中的柴郡貓，《奇幻森林》中的蟒蛇卡，《貓兒歷險(xiǎn)記》中的洛克福。

The Disney animator strike took place during the movie's production.

《小飛象》制作期間發(fā)生了迪士尼動(dòng)畫(huà)師罷工

In May of 1941, during the production of "Dumbo," Disney animators went on strike. After a few weeks, Disney animators were unionized and "Dumbo" was finished and released later that same year.

1941年5月，在《小飛象》制作期間，迪士尼動(dòng)畫(huà)師舉行了罷工。幾周后，迪士尼動(dòng)畫(huà)師成立了工會(huì)，并完成了《小飛象》的制作。該片于同年上映。
