Making a hard choice
《碟中谍6》：阿汤哥的艰难抉择
Over the past two decades, the Mission: Impossible film series has always been connected with Tom Cruise. No matter what happens, he's always been Ethan Hunt, the stubborn agent who always gives 110 percent to secure other people's safety, regardless of his own.
在过去的20年间，“碟中谍”系列总是与汤姆·克鲁斯密不可分。不论发生什么，他一直都是伊森·亨特，那个不顾自身安危也绝对要保护他人安全的固执特工。
Hunt serves as a kind of action hero, but there's an interesting change in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011) , the fourth movie of the series. In it, Hunt faces personal consequences for his heroic acts, as he has to leave his beloved wife Julia behind to save the world. And this idea continues in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, which arrived in Chinese mainland cinemas on Aug 31.
亨特是位动作片英雄，但在“碟中谍”系列第四部电影《幽灵协议》中，他身上发生了一些有意思的变化。片中，亨特的英雄之举影响到了他的个人生活，他不得不离开挚爱的妻子茱莉娅去拯救世界。这一主题也延续到了《碟中谍6：全面瓦解》中，电影于8月31日在中国大陆上映。
In the latest film of the series, Hunt's dilemma is even bigger than before, when he's forced to make a choice between saving someone he loves or the entire world.
在该系列的最新作品中，亨特面临着前所未有的困境，他不得不在拯救心爱之人与整个世界之间做出抉择。
The theme of the “moral dilemma”, in which the hero must choose between two very difficult options, is common in cinema.
“道德困境”的主题 —— 英雄必须在左右为难中做出艰难的选择，在影片中十分常见。
Characters like James Bond and Batman often face moral dilemmas of their own. Bond is loyal to Britain and spares no effort to finish every task, but this often comes at the cost of following the rules. For most people, killing someone even for a good reason isn't acceptable. However, Bond has only two choices in front of him: kill his enemies or be killed.
007、蝙蝠侠等角色常常面临着自己的道德困境。忠于英国的007不遗余力地完成每项任务，但代价往往是不得不遵循法则。在大多数人看来，就算拥有正当理由也不应该杀人。然而，007的面前只有两种选择：要么敌死，要么我亡。
Differing from Bond, however, Batman never kills a single person in film The Dark Knight (2008). There was a heated discussion about whether Batman should kill the Joker, the movie's villain. After all, Batman could have saved many innocent lives by ending the Joker's life. However, he refuses to kill him and break his own moral code. Indeed, it seems Batman is a different kind of hero, one who puts his own morals above anything else.
而和007不同的是，蝙蝠侠在电影《黑暗骑士》中从未杀过一人。蝙蝠侠是否应该杀掉片中的反派“小丑”曾经引发过热议。毕竟，蝙蝠侠杀掉“小丑”便能拯救许多无辜的生命。然而，他不愿杀掉“小丑”，违背自己的道德准则。蝙蝠侠似乎的确是另一种英雄，将自己的道德准则置于一切之上。
As is mentioned on the poster for Fallout: “Some missions are not a choice”, which means that good intentions often come back to haunt us. So, superheroes like Ethan Hunt and his Impossible Mission Force need to make the right choice by saving the world again. As the character Benjamin Parker, Spider-Man's uncle in the movie series, wisely said, “With great power comes great responsibility.”
《全面瓦解》的海报上提到：“有些任务别无选择”，意思原本是好意，却常常令我们感到困扰。因此，伊森·亨特及其“不可能任务小组”的超级英雄们需要再次通过拯救世界，做出正确的选择。就像蜘蛛侠的叔叔本杰明·帕克在电影系列中的至理名言：“能力越大，责任越大”。
