以下即小编为大家分享的英文阅读素材:当科幻不在关乎未来
SUMMARY:
一提到科幻,大家都会想到,在N年之后的未来,在银河系中,会有各种外星人。地球也变得异常先进。。。似乎科幻已经被贴上了未来生活的标签,但是现在,科幻似乎有掉头的趋势,他们感兴趣的领域更多的是在过去而非未来,即将上映的星球大战7就是如此。
CONTENT:
And then science-fiction fans turn to the new Star Wars trailer, and find, not the future, but a reshuffling of 30-year-old detritus. There are the storm troopers, there's the Millennium Falcon, there's Tatooine, there's one of those cute droids we're always looking for. There's nary a pretense that we're actually supposed to be imagining a different world. Instead, the pleasure is in reshuffling the old, worn-out bits. Nostalgia is so paramount that even minor tweaks become the grounds for think pieces and extended canon questioning. Are there black stormtroopers? What's up with the new crossguard lightsaber? Explain why these new toys are not exactly the same as the old toys, and be quick about it!

参考译文:
之后科幻发烧友们就去看新一部《星球大战》的预告片,从而发现,影片描述的并非未来,而是对30年前残垣的重组。其中有风暴战士,千年隼号,塔图因,以及我们总是在寻找的可爱机器人。于是,再没借口说,我们实际上应当去构想一个不同的世界。反之,在重写那些陈旧的,写烂了的事情时,快乐便会油然而生。怀旧感染力重要性超然,即使是些许的变动,都会成为媒体报道的依据,并且引出更多经典的问题。(新片)有黑暗风暴战士吗?新十字光剑是什么样的?解释下为啥新玩具跟以往的不完全一样,要快啊!
