We’ve been talking about an Independence Day sequel for many, many years, but the time has finally arrived. Come June 24th, we’re going to get to see what happens when the aliens return and Thomas J. Whitmore (Bill Pullman) and David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) have to step up and save the world again. For now, you can catch some highlights.

　　关于《独立日》的续集，我们已经讨论了许多年，但是这次它终于要上映了。6月24日，我们就会得知外星人回来的时候发生了什么，而托马斯·J·惠特莫尔(比尔·普尔曼)和大卫·莱文森(杰夫·戈德布拉姆)必须得再次登场拯救世界了。你可以暂时了解一下电影的一些看点：

　　1.David Levinson is still leading the charge against the invaders.

　　大卫·莱文森依然在率领众人对抗侵略者。

　　2.What happened to Connie? Even though David managed to rekindle his romance with Connie in the 1996 original, Margaret Colin is not back for the sequel.

　　康妮怎么样了?在1996年第一部《独立日》中，虽然大卫努力与康妮重修旧好，但是玛格丽特·柯林在这部续集中没有回归。

　　3.President Whitmore is now feeling the effects of his alien encounter at Area 51.

　　惠特莫尔总统现在感受到在51区遇见外星人后的影响了。

　　4.There’s a reason Sela Ward’s character steps up and becomes president.

　　由于某个原因雪拉·渥德饰演的角色登场并成为了总统。

　　5.Patricia and Dylan only had one scene together in the first film, but they stayed close after that.

　　在第一部电影中，帕特丽夏和狄伦只有一场对手戏，但是之后就保持着密切的联系。

　　6.Dylan is following in his step-father’s footsteps.

　　狄伦正在走他继父的路。

　　7.Dylan and Jake don’t get along.

　　狄伦和杰克不和。

　　8.You thought Dr. Okun was dead? Think again! In fact, there was a line cut from the original movie that might have changed Dr. Okun’s fate.

　　你以为奥肯博士死掉了?再想一想。事实上，从第一部电影中截取的一个信息可能会改变奥肯博士的命运。

　　9.It may have taken Emmerich and his team a good deal of time to hit the sweet spot and get the sequel into production, but I’ve got high hopes it’ll be well worth the wait.

　　埃默里赫和他的团队可能花了大量的时间进入最佳状态并制作续集，但是我非常希望这漫长的等待是值得的。
