1) Finding Dory isn't the absolute best sequel Pixar's produced — but it's a close call

　　《海底总动员2》绝对不是皮克斯公司出品的最棒的续片，但已经差不多是最好的了。

　　Sequels have long had a reputation for being watered-down versions of their original movies. But Pixar has largely avoided that pitfall, with touching follow-ups like Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 — fantastic movies in their own right — and Monsters University.

　　电影续片长期以来都有“注水版原片”的恶名，但皮克斯差不多总是能避过这个陷阱。它出品过好多感人的续片，如《玩具总动员2》和《玩具总动员3》本身都是优秀的影片，除此之外还有《怪兽大学》。

　　Finding Dory, thankfully, follows in that tradition. Writer and co-director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, Wall-E) turns to roughly the same structure as the original movie.This time, though, Dory and company's grand adventure is in search of her long-lost parents.

　　谢天谢地，《海底总动员2》沿袭了这一传统。剧作者和合作导演安德鲁·斯坦顿(《海底总动员》和《机器人总动员》的导演)基本上运用了和原片相同的故事结构。只不过，这一次，多莉和伙伴们历尽艰险是为了寻找她失散多年的父母。

　　But even though its story mimics Nemo's, Finding Dory necessarily becomes something a little different with Dory in the role of main protagonist instead of loopy sidekick.

　　但是，尽管故事模仿了第一部，《海底总动员2》还是与原片有些不同，这里的多莉成了主角，而不再是傻乎乎的配角。
