《霍頓與無(wú)名氏》：日常以外，幻想以內(nèi)

CE: Teens早在今年的3月號(hào)就詳細(xì)介紹了《霍頓與無(wú)名氏》（又譯《霍頓奇遇記》），但今年的大片出碟速度都很慢，直到最近Wendy才找到這部動(dòng)畫(huà)片的高音質(zhì)版本，不過(guò)剛好與本期的主題不謀而合，真可謂“來(lái)得早不如來(lái)得巧”，咔咔。

今年的萬(wàn)圣節(jié)過(guò)得開(kāi)心嗎？在眾多越來(lái)越商業(yè)化、形式化的大眾節(jié)日里，為什么只有萬(wàn)圣節(jié)仍然保留著那份原始的詭譎？是不是因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)人仍然保留著那份對(duì)未知的好奇？盡管科學(xué)的進(jìn)步和平淡的生活讓小時(shí)候眾多令人心慌的神秘故事漸漸褪色，但大自然的每個(gè)角落都遺留著無(wú)數(shù)未解的謎題—愿大家一直保有一顆孩子般的關(guān)注、好奇和幻想之心。誰(shuí)知道呢，也許你會(huì)像霍頓那樣，某一天，突然發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)世界的另一處神奇風(fēng)景……

大象霍頓聽(tīng)見(jiàn)一粒灰塵上傳來(lái)聲音，他好不容易用三葉草的小花接住了隨風(fēng)飄動(dòng)的灰塵，這舉動(dòng)偏偏讓向來(lái)對(duì)霍頓諸多不滿的袋鼠看見(jiàn)了……

Kangaroo: Horton!

Horton: Oh， sorry. I...I just...there was this speck[一小點(diǎn)]， and...they called out for help， and I was...

Kangaroo: The speck...called out for help?

Horton: Well， not the speck， I mean – that’s ridiculous[可笑的]. Is that what you thought I meant? No， the speck can’t call out for help. Come on， get real! No， there’s a tiny person on that speck that needs my help.

Kangaroo: (laughs) Absurd[荒謬的]. There aren’t

people that small.

Horton: Well， maybe they aren’t small. Maybe...

we’re big.

Kangaroo: Horton!

Horton: No! Really， think about it. What if there is someone way out there， looking down on our world right now? And to them， we’re the specks.

Kangaroo: There is nothing on that speck.

Horton: But I heard.

Kangaroo: Did you? Really? Oh my! Then how come I don’t hear anything?

Horton: Well…

Kangaroo: If you can’t see， hear， or feel something，

it doesn’t exist. And believing in tiny imaginary

people is just not something we do， or tolerate[容忍] here in the Jungle of Nool.

Horton: Really? ’Cause I bet if I really tried I could find somebody who’d believe what I’m saying…

Kangaroo: You will do nothing of the sort. You will not breathe a word of this lie to[將……告訴某人] anyone

else， especially the children. I do not want you

poisoning their minds with this nonsense. Our

community[社區(qū)] has standards， Horton. If you wanna remain a part of it， I recommend you follow them.

(After Kangaroo has left， Horton goes on to study the speck.)

Horton: I don’t understand. I know I heard you. It was as plain as the nose on my face. That’s it! Maybe you can’t hear me! Of course! Your ears must be tiny! I need to speak up! (Horton gasps.) Hello!

Narrator: Now some people out there – I think I know who – they find they agree with that sour[壞脾氣的]

Kangaroo， “There can’t really be people as small as [a] mice注.” Well， there can， and there are. Because Horton was right. That single “Hello” traveled all the way down to the speck， through the clouds， till it found a small town – a town known as Whoville，

for there live the Whos， really happy and safe，

knowing only good news， unaware that their world was a speck on a clover[三葉草，苜蓿]， unaware that the sweet life they knew might be over.

袋鼠：霍頓！

霍頓：哦，抱歉。我……我只是……這兒有一粒灰塵，而且……有人在呼救，然后

我……

袋鼠：灰塵……呼救？

霍頓：哦，不是灰塵在呼救，我是說(shuō)—這太荒謬了。你以為我是這個(gè)意思嗎？不，灰塵怎么可能會(huì)呼救。拜托，現(xiàn)實(shí)點(diǎn)兒！不，灰塵上有個(gè)小人兒，他需要我?guī)兔Α?/p>

袋鼠：（大笑）荒謬至極。怎么可能有這么小的人。

霍頓：哦，也許不是他們小。也許……是因?yàn)槲覀兇蟆?/p>

袋鼠：霍頓！

霍頓：不！真的，想想吧。要是有人在高高的上方俯瞰我們的世界，那會(huì)怎樣呢？
