《复仇》第二季之五大败笔

　　Remember when Revenge was actually about Emily Thorne avenging her father"s death and wrongful life sentence?
　　还记得《复仇》（Revenge）女主角艾米莉·索恩（Emily Thorne）的终极目标是为了给被判终身监禁然后冤死狱中的父亲报仇雪恨吗？

　　Although Emily got caught up in a love triangle with Daniel (Josh Bowman) and Jack (Nick Wecshler) along the way, the show rarely veered from its main mission —and that red pen. But has Season 2 lost its way? With its complicated and confusing arcs, the addition of two main characters who aren't very likable —Aidan (Barry Sloane) and Kara (Jennifer Jason Leigh) —and a lack of action and actual vengeance, it seems like Revenge could use some help returning to its freshman season glory.
　　尽管艾米莉与丹尼尔（Daniel），杰克（Jack）二人的三角恋情贯穿了整个第一季，但“复仇”始终是不变的主题。第二季随着两个不怎么讨人喜欢的新角色艾登（Aiden）和艾米莉母亲卡拉（Kara）的加入，剧情愈发复杂，也更加纠结，然而最精彩的复仇行动却鲜少出现。

　　Here are five ways we want to fix Revenge:

　　归纳起来，《复仇》第二季存在着以下五大败笔。

　　1. Bring back the revengenda
　　1.复仇行动节奏缓慢

　　When was the last time Emily sat down with that Grayson Global retreatphoto and mapped out a way she was going to eliminateeach person involved? She may still be targeting Grayson Global, but we have no idea what her roadmap is anymore and how far she's going to stray from or adhere to it.
　　我们最近一次看到艾米莉拿着那张格雷森（Grayson）家讳莫如深的老照片坐在桌前一一圈出她想要除掉的有罪之人已经是什么时候的事了？格雷森家族也许仍是艾米莉的目标，我们却再也猜不到她的下一步行动了，不知她是否改变了原有计划还是决定照计划行事。

　　2. More Emily and Nolan plotting
　　2.艾米莉与诺兰互动戏份减少

　　We miss the reliance these two had on each other, and while Nolan isn't lacking one-liners (or a colorful wardrobe) this season, the scenes between the two are now used to provide comicrelief in the hour. An "Ems" every so often isn't enough. Let's get these two back in front of the computer figuring out what Emily's next move is and how Nolan can aid her.
　　我们都十分想念他们对彼此的信任。第二季的诺兰（Nolan）变得幽默了许多，他和艾米莉打趣的话已经成为了缓解紧张剧情的“独家秘诀”。只是听到诺兰亲昵地称艾米莉为“小艾”（Ems）的次数明显减少让我们有些失望。大家都非常希望能够看到两人再一次共同对着电脑研究接下来的行动，以及诺兰毫无保留地帮助艾米莉的场景。

　　3. Get rid of Aidan
　　3.艾登

　　Does anyone actually like this guy? We understand the need for someone to shed light on Emily's post-lockup training with Takeda, but there's nothing charming or likeable about him. Plus: We've yet to see his purpose for being in town (except to kill the White-Haired Man.
　　难道有人真心喜欢艾登吗？我们能理解除了武田（Takeda）的魔鬼训练，艾米莉还需要一个盟友。但艾登这个角色完全没有讨喜之处，或者个人魅力；并且我们直到现在都还没发现他来汉普顿的目的何在。

　　4. Give Daniel a backbone
　　4.墙头草丹尼尔

　　Whose side is he really on? Does he have any opinions or convictions of his own? It's always hard to tell when one day he's supporting dad and he switches to Team Victoria the next. Maybe if he actually took a stand on something —anything —we'd finally respect the guy. (Don't even get us started on him and Ashley.)
　　丹尼尔到底和谁是一伙儿的？他就不能有点主见，有点定力么？总之我们只看到他从康拉德（Conrad）的阵营转投维多利亚（Victoria），如果哪天他坚定了自己的立场，我们或许会对他产生点儿好感。不过让我们更闹心的还是他勾搭上了阿什莉（Ashley）。

　　5. Relegate the bar to the background (and have Declan go with it)
　　5.偷渡者酒吧狗血泛滥

　　Can't The Stowaway just remain a signature set like Central Perk or The Peach Pit? Since Declan (Connor Paolo) and Charlotte (Christa B. Allen) broke up, the show has struggled to integratethe blue-collar teen into story lines and has instead concocted a bizarrearc in which Declan gets caught stealing from Kenny (JR Bourne). But rather than pressing charges, the uber-shady Kenny bails the bar out, which means Jack and Dec are indebted to him for life. Um, what?! If this keeps up, we hope Declan is the mysterious dead body underwater.
　　为什么偷渡者酒吧（The Stowaway）不能只是一个普通的剧中建筑呢？自从德克兰（Declan）和夏洛特（Charlotte）缘分散尽，编剧就一直试图把这个“穷小子爱上富家女”的老套戏码融入《复仇》的故事主线中。不过效果实在不佳，德克兰因为偷窃肯尼（Kenny）财物被捕的情节设置更是及其古怪。而最让人无语的还属脑子进水的肯尼竟然没有起诉，反倒帮了即将关门大吉偷渡者酒吧一把，摇身一变成了波特（Potter）兄弟的债主。呃，这到底是在演哪一出啊？如果照这样下去，那我宁愿水下的那具无名男尸就是德克兰。
