The first season of the D.C.-based thrill ride introduced us to super shady, ambitious, vengeful congressman Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey), his cold and calculating wife, Claire, and the morally questionable, equally ambitious writer Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara). The series has been thus far filled with murder, revenge plots gone awry, and plenty of intrigue on the Hill. And according to Netflix’s just-released synopsis for Season 2, we can expect more of the same:
在第一季中,这部以华盛顿特区为背景的惊悚美剧为我们引荐了腹黑的、雄心勃勃甚至充满复仇心理的国会议员弗兰西斯·安德伍德(凯文·史派西饰演),还有他那冷艳的,精于算计的妻子克莱尔(罗宾·怀特饰演)。我们也认识了道德上存在争议但同样拥有雄心壮志的作家佐伊·巴恩斯(凯特·玛拉饰演)。到第一季结束,这部剧集中充斥着谋杀案、扭曲的复仇计划和国会山上数不清的阴谋。根据Netflix刚刚公布的第二季概要,我们将会继续欣赏这样的剧情。


Francis and Claire Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. Zoe Barnes, an up-and-coming reporter and Francis’s former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes. President Walker’s (Michel Gill) billionaire confidante demands that Francis reciprocate political favors or face retribution. And Claire must confront the increasing glare of the spotlight as it eats away at her and Francis’s once private existence. The Underwood’s must overcome these dangers — past and present — to avoid losing everything, regardless of collateral damage they leave in their wake.
弗兰西斯和妻子在面对着一切威胁的情况下,依旧热衷着权利的夺取。佐伊·巴恩斯这个一向十分活跃的记者,联合弗兰西斯的前情妇,正一点点逼向弗兰西斯犯罪的事实。总统加勒特·沃克(迈克·吉尔)有一个亿万富翁密友,他要求与弗兰西斯互换政治地位,要不然会对其进行报复。而克莱尔必须面临着更多的曝光率,之前的秘密存在不再有效。暂且不谈他们留下的附带损害,安德伍德也必须克服三种危险,过去的、现在的,和失去一切的可能。
