| There is a small but elite club of animated films that actually manage to improve upon their predecessors, with Toy Story 2 and Shrek 2 standing as the most notable examples of this. You can add Kung Fu Panda 2 to that list, as the film contains all of the elements that made the first installment such a success but also takes things further by exploring Po's mysterious past. |
在諸多動畫電影中，只有少數精品的續集能夠超越前一部，眾所周知的便是《玩具總動員2》和《怪物史萊克2》。如今，你可以在這份名單中再添上《功夫熊貓2》，因為這部電影不僅涵蓋了第一部的所有成功元素，而且在此之上更進一步，探索了熊貓阿寶的神秘過去。 |
| As Kung Fu Panda 2 opens, Po (Jack Black) is clearly enjoying his new life as the fabled Dragon Warrior and the loveable panda spends his days alongside the Furious Five -- Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Crane (David Cross), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Monkey (Jackie Chan), and Viper (Lucy Liu) -- ensuring that the Valley of Peace remains free from harm. During a training session with his mentor, Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), Po learns of a threat from a mysterious villain who wants nothing more than to destroy kung fu. |
《功夫熊貓2》里，以傳說中的神龍大俠身份出場的阿寶（杰克?布萊克 配音）顯然很享受這種新生活。這只可愛的熊貓和蓋世五俠中的嬌虎（安吉麗娜?朱莉 配音）、仙鶴（大衛?克羅斯 配音）、螳螂（塞斯?羅根 配音）、金猴（成龍 配音）、靈蛇（劉玉玲 配音）一起，日復一日地護衛著和平谷不受任何侵害。然而，一次跟著師傅（達斯汀?霍夫曼 配音）練功時，阿寶了解到功夫受到了威脅——有一個神秘的惡人正妄圖毀滅功夫。 |
| Po and the Furious Five subsequently head off on a journey straight into the heart of China, where the evil Lord Shen (Gary Oldman) has rolled into town with his formidable army. (Lord Shen is a fierce peacock who has been plotting his revenge ever since he was banished from his village by his own parents.) Meanwhile, Po is suffering from parental issues of his own -- as he has been plagued by vague memories involving the true story of what happened to his birth mother and father. |
阿寶同蓋世五俠隨即出發直奔中原地區，那里的城鎮被惡人頭子沈王爺（加里?奧德曼 配音）及其手下的驕兵悍將所占據。（沈王爺是一只兇惡的孔雀，他被自己的父母驅逐出村子，從那以后就一直謀劃復仇。）與此同時，阿寶也在為自己的出身而苦惱。親生父母的真實遭遇在他腦中留下了些許記憶，如今這些模糊的記憶不斷困擾著他。
