友情提示:以下内容含轻微剧透

1. The Timeline of the X-Men Cinematic History
《X战警》系列影片时间轴

The franchise first began back in 2000 with Bryan Singer's aptly titled, X-Men. It spawned two sequels, 2002's highly-praised X2: X-Men United, and 2006's widely-disappointing X-Men: The Last Stand.Jackman became a bona fide action-star and reprised his role in two spinoff films, 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the 2013 sequel, The Wolverine.That brings us to the prequel trilogy beginning with 2011's X-Men: First Class, remaining in the same timeline as the originals. It was followed by 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past.
该系列最早始于2000年布莱恩•辛格执导的片名讨巧的《X战警》,然后引出两部续篇:2002年好评如潮的《X战警2》和2006年的票房毒药《X战警:背水一战》。杰克曼成了实打实的动作明星,在两部番外篇——2009年的《X战警前传:金刚狼》和2013年的续篇《金刚狼2》——中重新演绎了他的角色。这就为我们带来了“前传三部曲”,第一部是和 《X战警前传:金刚狼》在同一条时间轴上的2011年的《X战警:第一战》,随后是2014年的《X战警:逆转未来》。

2. Which of These Do You Actually Need to See?
你到底需要看哪几部呢?

With the exception of a small but memorable cameo from Jackman in this year's Apocalypse, neither of Wolverine's standalone films have a solid connection to the latest X-film.Similarly, the R-rated smash hit Deadpool can also be skipped as the plot has no relation to Apocalypse.What about the original trilogy that started it all? Nope, you can skip all of those as well thanks to the time-traveling plot of Days of Future Past.
除了今年的《天启》中会出现杰克曼有一块纪念小浮雕这个细节,这部最新的X电影与两部金刚狼独立影片都没有紧密关联。与此相似,火爆的R级片《死侍》也可以直接略掉,因为情节与《天启》无关。那么让一切开始发生的前传三部曲呢?不用看,你可以把它们全略过去,然后感谢《逆转未来》中有时光旅行的情节就行了。

So, out of all nine movies, viewers only need to watch First Class and Days of Future Past to fully understand the characters and plot.
所以,在所有9部影片中,观众们只需观看《第一战》和《逆转未来》就可以完全理解新片中的角色和情节。

3. Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique Is One of the Good Guys Now
詹妮弗•劳伦斯饰演的“魔形女”现在又成好人了

Fans were first introduced to shape-shifting Mystique in the original X-Men trilogy. The ultimate femme fatale, Mystique was undoubtedly evil. But that all changed in X-Men: First Class. Instead of working against the X-Men, she was one of them. However, by the end of the film, her alliances shifted towards the much darker Magneto, and by X-Men: Days of Future Past, she returned as the villainous assassin that fans were familiar with. Once again though, by end of that movie, she found her way back to the side of good.
影迷们第一次见到能变形的“魔形女”是在X战警前传三部曲中。“魔形女”作为最致命的性感尤物,毫无疑问是反派人物。但这一切在《X战警:第一战》中都变了。她不再与X战警们作对,反而成了他们中的一员。但是,影片快结束时,她又转向了更加黑暗的“万磁王”一派。在《X战警:逆转未来》中,“魔形女”又成了影迷们熟悉的邪恶刺客。但是,在影片结束前,她又回到了正派人物的行列。

So, which side does the ravenous blue beauty find herself this go-around? You'll have to wait and see for yourself.
那么,贪婪的蓝美人这一回又会站哪边呢?等小伙伴们自己去找答案咯。

4. There Are Dozens of Characters in Apocalypse -- Here's Who You Need to Remember
《天启》中有很多角色,你需要牢记的是这些人

The complex relationship between Mystique (Lawrence), Magneto (Fassbender) and Xavier(McAvoy) is once again the main focal point of the film. In First Class, we got to see these characters meet for the first time. In Days of Future Past, Mystique turned on Magneto and thwarted his assassination attempt on the President of the United States.
“魔形女”(大表姐)、“万磁王”(法鲨)和“X教授”(一美)之间的复杂关系又一次成了影片的主要焦点。在《第一战》中,我们看到这些角色第一次相遇。在《逆转未来》中,“魔形女”转向“万磁王”一派,企图刺杀美国总统但失败了。

X-Men: Apocalypse is set 10 years after these events, which were crucial in shaping who these characters have come to be when we catch up with them.
《X战警:天启》设定在这些事件发生10年之后,理解这些角色的关键要看我们观影时什么时候能看懂他们的剧情。

5. Rose Byrne's Moira MacTaggert Returns in This One, but Her Memory Still Hasn't
罗斯·拜恩饰演的莫伊拉·马克塔格特又在新片中回归了,但她还是没有记忆

Another returning character is Rose Byrne's CIA agent, Moira MacTaggert. However, one thing missing is her memory. She was critical in First Class, but after the catastrophic events she witnessed, Xavier used his telepathy to wipe away her memories.
另一个回归的角色是罗斯·拜恩饰演的CIA特工莫伊拉·马克塔格特。但是,她的记忆没回来。莫伊拉在《第一站》中是一位关键人物,但是在她目睹了大灾难之后,X教授用心灵感应抹除了她的记忆。

After being completely absent and not even mentioned in Days of Future Past, she makes a welcome return in Apocalypse, but with no prior knowledge of any of these characters she has spent so much time with in the past.
在《逆转未来》中,她完全没有出现,甚至没有被谁提起过。在《天启》中,她的回归倍受欢迎,但她完全不认识从前相处过很长时间的任何角色。

6. Magneto Is Quicksilver's Father
“万磁王”是“快银”的父亲

While fans of the comics know that Magneto is Quicksilver's father, it was only subtly referenced in Days of Future Past, almost as a passing joke. But now, it is fully addressed and adds a thick layer of context to a character that was previously only used for comic relief. But fear not – he's still incredibly entertaining in Apocalypse.
虽然漫画迷们都知道“万磁王”是“快银”的父亲,但这一点只在《逆转未来》中微妙地展现过,而且几乎是一个转瞬即逝的笑话。但是现在,他们的关系得到充分挖掘,“快银”这个人物也更为丰满,不像从前只是用作漫画中的笑料。但是别担心——他在《天启》中还是好笑得无与伦比。

7. Cyclops and Jean Grey Are the Ultimate Relationship Goals
“镭射眼”和琴·葛雷是最佳情侣

Yes, this is a superhero film. Yes, there is tons of action. But there's also a lot of heart in this -- particularly when it comes to X-Men's #OTP (One True Pairing) -- Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) and Jean Grey (Sophie Turner).
是的,这是一部超级英雄电影。是的,这里有大量打斗场面。但是,这部影片也是相当走心的——特别是讲到X战警中的“镭射眼”(泰·谢里丹)和琴•葛雷(苏菲·特纳)这对CP的时候。

We met them in the original trilogy, and while they were very much a couple, the majority of the films were spent focusing on their love triangle with Jackman's Wolverine. But in Apocalypse, we finally get to see these young and powerful mutants meet and we get a front-row seat to the beginning sparks of what will eventually become X-Men's super-couple.
我们是在前传三部曲中开始认识他们的,虽然那时候他们就差不多已经是一对儿了,但影片大部分还是聚焦在他们和杰克曼的“金刚狼”之间的三角关系上。但是,在《天启》中,我们终于看到这对强大的年轻变种人相遇了。然后,我们就可以找个第一排的座位感受X战警中最终出现的这对超级情侣擦出的爱之火花了。
