Monster Attacks
If you've seen the recent "Godzilla" trailers, you know that Las Vegas is among the many locations to get destroyed in the film.
如果你看过最近的《哥斯拉》预告片,你会发现拉斯维加斯也是这部影片中被毁掉的地方之一。
We've seen Hollywood destroy America from the East to West coasts on screen; however, no one's really tried to organize where, when, and how often different areas of the U.S. has been ravaged over the years.
在大屏幕上我们已经看到好莱坞把美国从东海岸到西海岸都破坏了一遍;然而,没有人真的尝试去整理在近几年,美国电影中不同的地区都分别在何时、何地被破坏,以及它们被破坏的频率。
Deadspin took a crack at it, and while they admit their list isn't perfect, it's a pretty great break down.
Deadspin做了这个尝试,虽然他们承认他们的列表不是完美的,但是这不失为一个伟大的突破。
The site reviewed A LOT of disaster flicks, from "King Kong" and "Deluge" in 1933 to last year's "Pacific Rim," categorizing disaster flicks into 10 sub-genres — Monster Attacks, Creature Attacks, Climactic Events (floods/tornadoes), Geologic Events (volcanoes/earthquakes), Infections, Mankind (terrorism/nukes), Alien Attacks, Space Rocks, Superhero Battles, and Sharknados (for fun).
这个网站回顾了一些灾难电影,从1933年的《金刚》、《大洪水》到去年的《环太平洋》,将灾难电影分为10种类型——怪物袭击,生物攻击,气候事件(洪 水/龙卷风),地质事件,传染病,人类(恐怖主义/核武器),外星人袭击,太空陨石,英雄之战,以及鲨卷风(仅供娱乐)。
They then plotted the 189 movie attacks across 10 maps to see where the most damage has occurred in the U.S. Unsurprisingly, most take place in Los Angeles and New York.
之后他们在超过10张地图上描绘出189部电影中的袭击场面,来观察美国的哪个地区在电影中经常“中枪”。不出所料,经常受到摧毁的城市是洛杉矶和纽约。
Deadspin gave us permission to run a few of the maps below.
Deadspin允许我们在下面展示其中一些地图。
You can take a look at all of the maps and movies here.
你可以在这里看到所有的地图和电影。
Monster Attacks On Film Across America
美国电影中的怪兽袭击
New York and California win this category with versions of "King Kong," "Godzilla," "Jurassic Park: The Lost World," and "Pacific Rim."
纽约和加利福尼亚凭借《金刚》、《哥斯拉》、《侏罗纪公园:失落的世界》和《环太平洋》在该分类中获胜。
Creature Attacks
Creature Attacks On Film Across America
美国电影中的生物袭击
"The Birds" and "Birdemic" take over California while Maine is home to water lurkers in "Jaws," "Jaws 2," and "Lake Placid."
《群鸟》和《群鸟2》都发生在加利福尼亚州,而在电影《大白鲨》《大白鲨2》和《普莱西德湖村》中,缅因州就是潜水者的家乡。
Climactic Events
Climactic Events on film in America
美国电影中的气候事件
The middle of the country is most ravaged by naturally-occurring events including "Twister" (Oklahoma). However, we can never forget "The Day After Tomorrow" crippled both LA and NY.
美国中部是最容易被自然事件包括《龙卷风》(俄克拉荷马州)破坏的地区。然而,我们永远不会忘记在影片《后天》中不论洛杉矶还是纽约都惨遭毁灭。
Infections
Infections On Film Across America
美国电影中的传染病
How many times have you seen New York City destroyed onscreen? Los Angeles? Kansas? For nearly as long as there have been movies, there have been disaster movies. The map above shows 189+ such cinematic attacks—using a very broad definition of the "disaster" genre—that have afflicted various parts of the United States.
你曾经多少次在大屏幕上看见纽约市被破坏?洛杉矶?堪萨斯州?几乎只要有电影,就会有灾难片。上面的地图展示了超过189种此类的攻击——使用非常宽泛的灾难片分类的定义——折磨美国的各个地区。
Geologic Events
Geologic Events On Film Across America
美国电影中的地质事件
In keeping with the general scientific literature, geologic events—including volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis—are mostly concentrated on the Pacific Rim. Los Angeles has been destroyed by geologic events at least seven times, but New York, which is not on the Pacific Rim, has still managed to be destroyed by a tsunami (Deluge and Quantum Apocalypse), an earthquake(Aftershock), and a volcano (Disaster Zone).
按照一般的科学文献,地质事件——包括火山爆发,地震和海啸——都主要集中在环太平洋。洛杉矶至少被地质事件破坏过7次,但是不在环太平洋的纽约仍然在努力被海啸(《大洪水》和《量子启示录》),地震(《余震》),和火山(《灾难地带:纽约火山》)所摧毁。
Mankind
Mankind On Film Across America
美国电影中的人类
Sometimes—in the case of invasions, terrorism, fires, and especially nukes—it turns out that MAN is the real disaster. This list doesn't include the many post-apocalyptic movies that make the same general point, but start after the disaster has taken place.
有时候——例如入侵,恐怖主义,火灾,尤其是核武器——人类才是真正的灾难。这个列表并不包括许多表达相同观点的后启示录电影,而是在灾难发生后才开始整理统计。
Alien Attacks
Alien Attacks On Film Across America
美国电影中的外星人袭击
For obvious tactical reasons, alien attacks generally hit major metropolitan areas, particularly D.C. Independence Day set the standard, destroying New York, Los Angeles, Washington, and Houston in one go.
由于明显的战术原因,外星人攻击通常都是发生在一些大都会,尤其是华盛顿哥伦比亚特区独立日设立标准,一口气毁掉了纽约,洛杉矶,华盛顿和休斯顿。
Space Rocks
Space Rocks On Film Across America
美国电影中的太空陨石
Self-explanatory! Rocks from space tend to destroy New York a lot, including twice in 1998 (Deep Impact and Armageddon).
不言自明!太空陨石毁了纽约不少次,包括1998年的2次(《天地大冲撞》和《世界末日》)。
Superhero Battles
Superhero Battles On Film Across America
美国电影中的英雄之战
Superheroes have caused enough collateral damage in California and New York over the past decade that the clean-up crew might get its own movie. We know that the Transformers are aliens (or alien robots), but we're going by genre here—it's clearly a superhero battle.
在过去的十年里,超级英雄已经给加利福尼亚和纽约造成了足够多的附带损害,清理人员几乎可以拍一部自己的电影了。我们知道变形金刚是外星人(或者外星机器人),但我们仍然把它归为此类——它的确是超级英雄之战。
Sharknados
Sharknados On Film Across America
美国电影中的鲨卷风
A sharknado is a tornado composed of sharks. There has only been one sharknado. So far.
鲨卷风指的是由鲨鱼组成的暴风,史上仅有一次鲨卷风。迄今为止。
