【譯文欣賞】

《黑神話：悟空》是中國首部爆款電子游戲

還會有更多嗎？

你被卷入了一場激烈的戰(zhàn)斗中一一這場戰(zhàn)斗如此猛烈，以至于“驚動了天地”，“嚇壞了妖魔鬼怪”。

扮演孫悟空（又稱猴王）的你手持傳說中的金箍棒（重達(dá)八噸），與三眼戰(zhàn)神二郎神展開對決。你必須機(jī)

智敏捷，因為二郎神的戰(zhàn)斧可以將整座山一分為二（而你可能覺得你的日常工作已經(jīng)很緊張了）。

《西游記》已經(jīng)被改編過很多次：它是中國文學(xué)中最著名的小說之一，也是中國最成功的文化出口產(chǎn)

品之一。但于8月20日發(fā)布的《黑神話：悟空》卻與眾不同。這款電子游戲是中國工作室推出的首部重磅

作品。在業(yè)內(nèi)術(shù)語中，《黑神話》是一款“AAA”游戲一一這是一個表示大預(yù)算和高制作水準(zhǔn)的標(biāo)簽。

中國是一個游戲大國，到2027年，玩家數(shù)量將超過7億，市場價值將達(dá)到570億美元，高于2022年

的455億美元一一根據(jù)市場研究公司NikoPartners的數(shù)據(jù)。許多中國人都為他們的國家無法制作出像《俠

盜獵車手》或《魔獸世界》（分別起源于蘇格蘭和美國）這樣令人興奮的游戲而感到惋惜。他們希望《黑

神話》標(biāo)志著中國在AAA游戲領(lǐng)域的新玩家的到來。

為什么中國如此落后才上線？其中一個原因是，中國一直專注于贏得移動游戲之戰(zhàn)。中國制作了2023

年全球收入最高的十款游戲中的四款，其中包括榜首的《王者榮耀》。一位中國游戲制作人表示，“移動

游戲'變現(xiàn)速度更快'”，這不利于那些想要在更宏大的項目上投入時間和金錢的設(shè)計師。

此外，玩家沒有合適的硬件設(shè)備也無助于游戲行業(yè)的發(fā)展。從2000年到2014年，中國以保護(hù)青少年

心理健康為由禁止進(jìn)口PlayStation和Xbox游戲機(jī)。禁令解除后，中國工作室缺乏為這些游戲機(jī)制作游戲的

技術(shù)；這花了很長時間才趕上。“中國的游戲技術(shù)是‘落后的‘，”一家大型中國游戲公司的開發(fā)者說。

《黑神話》使用了美國EpicGames公司開發(fā)的名為UnrealEngine的3D圖形制作工具。

也許最大的原因在于中國玩家習(xí)慣于不花錢玩游戲。版權(quán)保護(hù)往往不足，軟件盜版現(xiàn)象嚴(yán)重。這使得

制作復(fù)雜的大型游戲在經(jīng)濟(jì)上不可行。中國現(xiàn)在更富有了，但隨著移動游戲的興起一一這類游戲通常是免

費(fèi)玩的，通過出售游戲中的福利來賺錢一一這種習(xí)慣已經(jīng)根深蒂固。當(dāng)《黑神話》的定價公布為268元

（38美元）時，一些中國網(wǎng)民感到驚訝。

《黑神話》的制作方是杭州的GameScience,該公司希望改變這種態(tài)度。其老板馮吉信奉“先感動自己，

再與市場達(dá)成一致”的格言。GameScience研究了最好的游戲和歷史資料，以創(chuàng)建一個能夠讓玩家感受到

《西游記》真實世界的游戲。

這一過程耗時6年，但努力得到了回報。在發(fā)布后的第一天，《黑神話》在游戲平臺Steam上擁有220

萬名同時在線玩家一一這是有史以來任何一款游戲的最高紀(jì)錄之一。其中大多數(shù)玩家來自中國，但它在國

外也很受歡迎。在發(fā)布后的第一周內(nèi)，《黑神話：悟空》在美國、德國和日本的Steam平臺上成為最暢銷

的游戲。這款游戲在96%的中國玩家和93%的英語母語玩家中獲得了積極的評價。

憑借《黑神話：悟空》，美猴王再次鞏固了在中國內(nèi)容領(lǐng)域的地位。這款游戲已經(jīng)被宣傳為民族自豪

感的源泉。官方新聞服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)新華社稱，《黑神話：悟空》“以世界級品質(zhì)成功講述了中國的故事”。中

國外交部的一位發(fā)言人對關(guān)于中國的正面新聞故事感到高興，并認(rèn)為這款游戲在海外的認(rèn)可“反映了中國

文化的吸引力”。

一些分析師認(rèn)為，即使《黑神話：悟空》成為傳奇之作，中國游戲行業(yè)也不會放棄對移動游戲的偏好。

但其他人則更為樂觀。他們表示，這款游戲的成功證明了中國爆款游戲的可行性，并鼓勵其他開發(fā)者大膽

思考。GameScience積累了經(jīng)驗，使后續(xù)項目更加容易。馮先生堅信，“將會有更多中國游戲能夠與海外游

戲相媲美。”這對于喜歡在游戲機(jī)上玩耍的人來說無疑是個好消息。

【譯文欣賞】

《黑神話：悟空》一這個夏天最令人興奮的電子游戲

當(dāng)中國開發(fā)商GameScience去年首次公布其主機(jī)游戲處女作《黑神話：悟空》時，立刻引起了轟動。

這款游戲靈感來自16世紀(jì)中國偉大的小說《西游記》，動作片段中展示了神話中的猴王孫悟空在茂密的森

林中與佛教傳說中的妖魔和手持劍的擬人化狐貍進(jìn)行戰(zhàn)斗。手機(jī)游戲在中國極為流行，但主機(jī)游戲開發(fā)者

仍然寥寥無幾，因此在GameScience的祖國，對《悟空》的興奮達(dá)到了頂峰。在24小時內(nèi)，這段預(yù)告片在

YouTube上的播放量達(dá)到了200萬次，在中國視頻網(wǎng)站Bilibili上的播放量超過了1000萬次，這令其創(chuàng)作者

既震驚又欣喜。甚至有一位激動的粉絲闖入開發(fā)商的辦公室，只為獲取更多關(guān)于游戲的信息。

在倫敦的一家酒店套房中，我在多名GameScience員工緊張的注視下，試玩了一個半小時的《悟空》。

可以確認(rèn)的是，這款擁有驚人視覺效果的中國神話風(fēng)格的“魂類”游戲，在華麗的預(yù)告片之外，同樣不負(fù)眾望，

將流暢的戰(zhàn)斗感受與反應(yīng)能力測試的難度相結(jié)合，擁有類似《戰(zhàn)神》那種高成本的電影感。當(dāng)我在《悟空》

密集的叢林中飛奔，躲避其致命的動植物陣時，我遇到了從穿著道服的蛤蟆到頭部巨大的恐怖嬰兒等各種

怪物。與許多同樣挑戰(zhàn)極限、受到FromSofiware啟發(fā)的游戲不同，《悟空》的難度顯得異常精妙。我扮演

的猿猴化身多次慘死，但我依然堅持不懈。最終，我打敗了足夠多的敵人，解鎖了新的能力。很快，我可

以在攻擊時立于金箍棒之上，這給了我在與那些兇殘的神話怪物對抗中的優(yōu)勢。我可以變成隱秘的蟬在森

林中穿梭，用長矛召喚火焰，最終在一座破敗的寺廟頂上擊倒了一頭咆哮的卡車大小的狼人。

“我們承受著巨大的壓力，"GameScience的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人之一通過翻譯反思道，他僅以“特德”作為介紹

（GameScience不愿透露他的全名）。“這是我們第一次制作PC和主機(jī)游戲，我們也是一家新工作室，所

以我們非常感謝玩家和市場對我們的寬容，他們的興奮激勵著我們。然而，中國人的思維往往是看風(fēng)險一

因此，當(dāng)我們面對如此大的鼓勵時，我們能做的最好的事情就是盡力滿足玩家的期望……并以非常誠實的

方式與玩家溝通。”

然而，當(dāng)我提到IGN的一份報告時，遺憾地沒有得到誠實的溝通。該報告提到了多位GameScience開

發(fā)者，包括一些領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層成員的涉嫌性別歧視言論。我給了特德一個機(jī)會來回應(yīng)這些厭女癥言論的指控，以

及他是否認(rèn)為這些言論代表了GameScience的價值觀。相反，我被他們的英國公關(guān)代表迅速以“不予置評”

回絕，之后經(jīng)過長時間的等待，特德的翻譯給出了一個更長的“不予置評”的回應(yīng)。我隨后被告知，Game

Science的美國公關(guān)公司會稍后提供一份準(zhǔn)備好的聲明，但最后僅收到了一份內(nèi)容為“GameScience目前專注

于演示版本，僅會回答與游戲玩法相關(guān)的問題”的回復(fù)。

上個月在洛杉磯的演示會上，IGN的一名記者也遇到了同樣的情況。令人失望的是，GameScience選

擇邀請記者與他們交談并試玩游戲，卻拒絕回答他們的問題。或許沒有什么可以保證的。慷慨地看待這個

情況，這個缺乏經(jīng)驗的工作室可能害怕說錯話。然而，在什么都不說的情況下，GameScience也未能將自

己（及其游戲）與其員工和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層被指控的粗俗、貶損性和厭女癥言論區(qū)分開來。

當(dāng)然，《西游記》早已不陌生于電子游戲世界。從Nii^jaTheory在2010年推出的由AlexGarland編劇、

AndySerkis主演的Xbox360改編游戲《奴役：西游記》到已故鳥山明的世界征服級作品《龍珠》，其充滿

神話和猴子的世界非常適合游戲。《黑神話：悟空》的驚艷視覺效果、電影般的美感和令人耳目一新的速

度感可能使其成為迄今為止最佳的西游故事改編游戲一^但我對它的無限興奮卻因這個不容忽視的問題而

黯然失色。

【譯文欣賞】

中國超級英雄

《美猴王》是中國最成功的文化輸出之一

和許多標(biāo)志性的虛構(gòu)英雄(哈利?波特、蝙蝠俠、小孤兒安妮)一樣，孫悟空有一個不幸的童年。他從一

座神話般的山峰上的一塊巖石蹦出來，克服了早年的艱辛，磨練了自己的戰(zhàn)斗技能，學(xué)會了翻筋斗云，并

把身上的每一根毛發(fā)都變成了他自己的微型戰(zhàn)士。

他既頑皮又威猛，與好萊塢萬神殿中的眾多超級英雄十分相似。但孫悟空又有與眾不同之處：他距今

已有400年歷史，并且來自中國。

8月18日，新版動畫電影《美猴王》在網(wǎng)飛上映，影片充滿了爆笑和滑稽，講述了孫悟空戰(zhàn)勝成百上

千妖魔鬼怪并努力實現(xiàn)長生不老的故事。《西游記》創(chuàng)作于1592年，是中國文學(xué)史上最著名的小說之一，

該影片是一系列改編作品中的最新一部。

小說以奇幻的手法重述了七世紀(jì)一位僧人尋找神圣佛經(jīng)的旅程；書名中的"西天"指的是他旅行的目的地

印度。這個古老的故事從此征服了世界。它是中國軟實力的一個罕見的成功范例，經(jīng)受住了中美關(guān)系的多

次起伏。

在過去的一個世紀(jì)里，《西游記》已被改編成60多部電影、無數(shù)電視劇、兒童書籍、電子游戲、主題

公園和樂高玩具。今年5月迪斯尼公司將楊謹(jǐn)倫的獲獎漫畫小說《美生中國人》改編成電視連續(xù)劇。

日本也有多部成功的改編作品，其中包括《龍珠》和《猴王》，《龍珠》由該故事改編的漫畫，銷量

達(dá)數(shù)百萬冊，并衍生出系列游戲；《猴王》是一部配音拙劣的電視劇，上世紀(jì)80年代在英國和澳大利亞大

受歡迎。

就像所有優(yōu)秀的故事（從莎士比亞到《星球大戰(zhàn)》）一樣，在《西游記》的故事里，最終的戰(zhàn)斗是為了主

人公的靈魂。孫悟空的身體之旅與精神之旅交織在一起。（劇透：叛逆的英雄最終找到了安寧。）

每一個孫悟空的故事都是時代的一面鏡子，反映了創(chuàng)作者的焦慮。一些闡釋集中在需要紀(jì)律來平息內(nèi)

心的聲音。其他人則強(qiáng)調(diào)一個低賤的人飛黃騰達(dá)的民主化主題。
