Everyone Deserves to Be Happy
每個人都應該快樂
本篇適合:模仿、角色扮演
《魔發精靈》(Trolls)是美國夢工廠電影公司根據“丑娃”的造型改編拍攝的動畫電影。故事中精靈城的公主波比(Poppy)有著神奇的魔力和多彩的頭發,她樂觀積極,喜愛唱歌。但是有一天,她的小伙伴們被死對頭——“博啃族”抓走了。為了從“博啃族”手中救出她最好的朋友們,波比向精靈城中的“怪人”布蘭奇(Branch)尋求幫助。可布蘭奇是個不合群的悲觀主義者,他雖答應了公主的請求,但他只是想讓公主知道這個世界并不像她想的那樣只有蛋糕和彩虹。一路上,他們共同經歷了很多奇怪、有趣的事,也發現了自己以前從未察覺的東西。最后,波比還讓“博啃族”們懂得了快樂原本就已存在于內心,并非靠吃精靈來獲得。
《魔發精靈》中的動畫形象來源于1959年的丹麥。一位名叫托馬斯的漁夫兼伐木工人因生活拮據,沒辦法給自己的女兒買生日禮物,便參照北歐神話中巨魔的形象,自己動手做了一個巨魔娃娃。而到了上世紀90年代,“巨魔”系列洋娃娃一度風靡,并以它們頭頂上凌亂卻又多彩的發型著稱。

在遠離死對頭博啃族的20年中,精靈們過著無憂無慮、自由自在的生活。他們每天唱歌、跳舞、擁抱、開派對,然而他們的狂歡卻引來了博啃族的大廚。

SCENE A

Poppy: Twenty years ago today, King Peppy made us safe. And now every troll is free to be happy and live in perfect harmony.
Troll 1: Harmony.
Troll 2: Harmony.
Troll 3: And that’s why we hug every hour.

Poppy: Yep.
Troll 4: I wish it was every half hour.
Poppy: So do I. But that wouldn’t leave much time for singing and dancing, now would it?
Troll 5: Princess Poppy, do the Bergens still want to eat us?
Poppy: You bet!
Trolls: (gasp)


Poppy: But just because it’s the only way they’ll ever be happy.
Troll 4: Oh, no. I do taste delicious.
Troll 5: Isn’t there anything else to make them happy?
Troll 6: Oh! What about having birthday parties?
Troll 7: Or slumber parties?
Troll 8: Or staring at your parents while they sleep.
Trolls: Eww…Ooh…
Troll 5: But I don’t want to be food.
Poppy: Don’t worry. No troll ever will be. And that’s why we’re celebrating with the biggest party ever. Everybody’s gonna be there.
Troll 9: Everybody?
Poppy: Everybody.

Poppy: Wait! King Gristle, when you were with Bridget, you were feeling something, weren’t you?

The Sound of Silence
寂靜之聲

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision[幻影]softly creeping[偷偷地潛行]
Left its seeds[種子]while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains[逗留]
Within the sound of silence

你好,黑暗,我的老朋友
我又來和你交談了
因為有一種幻覺正悄悄地向我襲來
在我熟睡的時候留下了它的種子
這種幻覺在我的腦海里生根發芽
依然纏繞著我
在寂靜之聲中


在去博啃城的路上,波比和布蘭奇露宿野外。在萬籟俱靜中,波比一邊彈奏著尤克里里,一邊演唱起《寂靜之聲》(The Sound of Silence)。叢林中的花朵與昆蟲一起與她合唱,歌聲和意境都是如此的唯美……
《寂靜之聲》是1968年奧斯卡經典電影《畢業生》的主題曲,也是歷史上最經典的歌曲之一,打動了全世界億萬人的心靈,傳唱至今久久不息。
