It's only natural to be skeptical of CBS' new drama "Elementary," a contemporary procedural-style adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, considering there's already a perfectly wonderful version being made by the BBC called "Sherlock." But after seeing the first trailer for the CBS show starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu, you might not resist so much.
在堪称完美的BBC电视剧《神探夏洛克》(Sherlock)热映后,人们不由得对即将上档CBS频道的的另一部现代版福尔摩斯电视剧——《基本元素》(Elementary)有了很多疑惑。你能接受生活在纽约的夏洛克和女版华生这对新搭档吗?不过,在看完这则预告片后,也许你会改变你的想法。

预告片:

Miller is our new Holmes, an eccentric character who helps cops solve crimes via an unconventional relationship with law enforcement, and Liu is a former surgeon-turned-sober coach for our unpredictable hero.
约翰尼·李·米勒饰演福尔摩斯,性情古怪的他担任警局的特殊顾问,专门解决让人毫无头绪的悬案。刘玉玲饰演琼·华生,她曾是一名外科医生,但曾因酒瘾害死一名病人。如今的她担任福尔摩斯的私人康复教练。

In theory, it sounds too similar to be able to love both shows, but after watching footage from the new series, it seems there will be plenty of room on TV for both mystery-solvers. It's got a dark but accessible vibe, perfect for CBS. Plus, Miller gets to use his actual British accent and although Liu seems like such a bubbly, likable person, she also seems 100 percent comfortable with her more serious side.
理论上来说,我们似乎没法同时爱上两位夏洛克,但看完这则预告片后你也许会发现,在电视荧幕上他们有着各自施展才华的空间!而本片略为阴暗但并非无法触及的氛围也正是CBS台的强项。在本片中,米勒依旧保持着英式英语的口音,而平日常以阳光活力形象出镜的刘玉玲如今也将展现更成熟更老练的一面!
