Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter in “The King’s Speech.” 图为《国王的演讲》演员科林·费斯和海伦娜·伯翰·卡特 The King’s English, Albeit With Twisted Tongue 国王的蹩脚英语 By MANOHLA DARGIS 马诺拉·达吉斯 Published: November 25, 2010 2010年9月25日发表 British films that make it to American screens these days often fall into two distinct niches: life is miserable and life is sweet (to borrow a title from the director Mike Leigh, who oscillates between the two). Given its quality headliners and high commercial profile (ding-dong, is that Oscar calling?), it’s no surprise that “The King’s Speech,” a buddy story about aggressively charming opposites — Colin Firth as the stutterer who would be king and Geoffrey Rush as the speech therapist — comes with heaping spoonfuls of sugar. 如今在美国放映的英国电影通常有两类截然不同的观点：生活悲惨和生活甜美（这是借用了导演迈克·李的说法，他的作品兼顾两者）。《国王的演讲》讲述了一位即将成为国王的口吃者（科林·费斯 饰）和他的言语治疗师（杰弗里·拉什 饰）这对极具魅力的男人之间的故事。考虑到电影出色的主要演员和高水平的商业策划（叮咚，是奥斯卡奖来登门拜访吗？）不难预料这部电影上映始便饱受赞誉，获奖颇丰。 The story largely unfolds during the Great Depression, building to the compulsory rousing end in 1939 when Britain declared war on Nazi Germany, world calamities that don’t have a patch on the urgent matter of the speech impediment of Albert Frederick Arthur George (Mr. Firth). As a child, Albert, or Bertie as his family called him, the shy, sickly second son of King George V (Michael Gambon, memorably severe and regal), had a stutter debilitating enough that as an adult he felt compelled to conquer it. In this he was aided by his wife, Elizabeth (a fine Helena Bonham Carter), a steely Scottish rose and the mother of their daughters, Elizabeth, the future queen (Freya Wilson), and Margaret (Ramona Marquez). 故事主要呈现出1939年大萧条即将结束，带来世界大灾难的纳粹德国使人们不得不觉醒反抗，这时英国对德宣战，无暇顾及阿尔伯特·弗雷德里克·阿瑟·乔治（科林·费斯 饰）言语障碍的迫切问题。阿尔伯特，家人又称其为伯蒂，是国王乔治五世（人们记忆里是个严肃又有君威的人，迈克尔甘本 饰）的第二个儿子。儿童时期性格害羞，体弱多病；他口吃严重以致长大后他感觉非常有必要克服它。在克服口吃的过程中，他的妻子，伊丽莎白，一位意志刚硬的苏格兰美女（优雅的海伦娜·伯翰·卡特 饰），和他们女儿的母亲，未来的王后伊丽莎白（弗雷亚·威尔森 饰）以及玛格丽特（拉蒙娜·玛姬 饰），这些女人都给了他帮助。 Albert meets his new speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Mr. Rush), re
