A humane film about human experiences.
情感纠缠，冷暖自知
To put it simply, "The Savages" is the most human（人道的） look at life I've seen in theaters this year.
如果非要用一句话概括《萨维奇一家》，我认为它是我今年看过的电影中最能体现人文关怀的作品。
It's incredibly easy to relate to if you have ever ever seen some relative or family friend of yours get old and then forget who you are due to some sort of elder person's disease.
如果你有过家人或朋友因患上某种老年疾病而失忆的经历，那么你自然而言就会有上面的感受。
It features（以+obj+为特色） three of the year's finest performances from Laura Linney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Phillip Brosco, all of whom radiate(显露出) on the screen as real, ordinary but complex, people.
《萨维奇一家》的三位主演都贡献了杰出的演技，为我们展现了平凡、真实却又复杂人物形象。
Linney and Hoffman play brother and sister, two writers who have an argumentative but loving way of getting along.
琳妮和霍夫曼饰演的妹妹和哥哥是一对作家，他们虽然偶尔争吵却也相处融洽。
Brosco plays their father, who has done something really, well, "dirty," and has drawn the attention of the family that had been caring for him, who no longer wish to do so.
博斯科饰演的父亲，由于做了一件非常“肮脏”的事情，被曾经照顾他的家庭扫地出门。
From there, Linney and Hoffman's characters meet up with the father whom they haven't seen in years, and who was never very compassionate towards them.
从这儿开始，琳妮以及霍夫曼饰演的角色见到了他们的父亲。他俩与父亲多年未曾谋面，而且父亲也对其子女没有多少感情。
However, their father has dementia, and slowly begins to forget who they are.
然而，这对兄妹的父亲得了老年痴呆症，几乎认不出他们了。
Instead of their main concern being whether or not he's kind to them, the kids are afraid they won't be able to communicate with him at all.
这俩人之前还担心父亲可能对他们不够友善，现在却害怕他们的父亲真地不能和他们进行交流了。
The way Tamara Jenkins handles this, from both the perspective of the kids and the perspective of the father, is brilliant.
导演（塔玛拉·詹金斯）从孩子和父亲两个视角来切入故事的做法非常聪明。
She really understands the way family relations work, as her film is spot-on（恰到好处的） in that aspect.
她是真地了解了家庭关系，这也是她能够在其作品中恰好好处地展现这一点的原因之一。
The three performances are all great for their own reasons.
三种不同的表演都可圈可点。
Linney plays a woman who is really confused with her life: she's having an affair with a married man who's ten years older than her, she lies to everyone she knows about things that aren't worth it, and she is having a lot of trouble getting produced as a writer.
琳妮饰演一个生活一团糟的中年女性：她跟一个大她10岁的有妇之夫有不当关系；她在一些本不必在意的事情上撒谎；而且，作为一个作家，她不断给自己招惹麻烦。
Hoffman, her older brother, has a really relaxed humanistic side to him, always countering（化解） Linney's loud（强烈的） worrisome actions with a calm, mind-processing technique.
霍夫曼，饰演她的哥哥，在处理复杂感情时令人安心，总是在妹妹要采取令人担心的行为时，以一种冷静而智慧的手段加以制止。
The chemistry（两人间复杂感情的相互作用） between this brother-sister is one of the most realistic works of chemistry you'll find in a theater this year.
本片在展现兄妹二人复杂的情感纠葛上极其贴近真实的生活，塑造的形象很生动。
Throw in Phillip Brosco - who absolutely conquers the dementia that his character has (my aunt has dementia, so I see her all the time and know that his face and way of talking and mannerisms are all spot on) - and you've got three characters who are so strong alone that they're enough reason to see this movie, funny-touching script and story aside.
说到菲利普·博斯科，他确实成功挑战这个需要了解老年痴呆症的角色（我的阿姨患有老年痴呆症，因此我知道本片对角色的面部表情，说话方式以及种种怪癖的刻画是准确的）。因此本片无论是从表演还是剧本层面，都堪称一流，绝对值得一看。
While all three performances were incredible, I'd have to say that my favorite performance came from Hoffman.
尽管三个人的演技都很出色，可我还是更偏爱霍夫曼的表演。
Linney played the confused-wreck card very well, but it's not like she's the first actress to confront or conquer that territory.
琳妮饰演这类对生活困惑的中年女性角色无可挑剔，但这毕竟不是什么新鲜的领域了。
Brosco was astoundingly realistic as a man with dementia, but his role doesn't carry very far beyond that.
博斯科演活了一个老年痴呆症患者，可这个角色并没有更深层次的东西可供挖掘了。
Hoffman's performance, while not "loud" in any way, is simply the best portrayal of an ordinary human being I've seen in years, if that makes any sense.
而霍夫曼的表演，尽管从任何角度来说都不是那种“尽皆癫狂”的演法，而仅仅是对这一普通人物的简单白描，但这恰恰赋予这个角色更为深层的东西。
Everything, from the way he reacts to what people say, to the way he talks, to the way he expresses emotion when he's feeling it - all of it is executed so well that I can't believe that he was actually acting.
从各个层面——无论是从他回应别人的方式、自己说话的方式，还是他表达自己情感的方式——都如此的完美，以至于我简直不敢相信这只是在表演。
The ending of the film is very humane.
而这部电影的结尾，正如我再文段开头所说的，非常具有人文关怀。
It doesn't have any major twists（转折） or bangs（引人注目）, but it doesn't end on a nothing-note either.
它没有任何的转折或噱头，但这并不意味它的结局平淡如水，不够深刻。
It teaches us that the lessons we learn from one experience can help us deal with the next, and it's the many small messages like this and the very life-like feel of the film's craft that make it one of the most special films I had the experience of seeing at a theater this year.
这部电影传递出许许多多看似琐碎却无比真实的生活感悟，它让我们明白生活中的一切经历都可能使我们今后的生活更有意义。从这个层面上讲，这是我今年（2007）看过的观影体验最好的一部电影了！
