《头号玩家》——不错的改编
When a book is made into a movie, change is inevitable.
当把一本书拍成电影的时候，改动往往是不可避免的。
After all, books have the freedom to be as long as they need and require at least some use of the imagination.
毕竟书可以想写多长就多长，至少还需要一些想象力的运用。
Plus, books have the advantage of a narrator, giving you a constant inner-stream from at least one character.
另外，书还有一个优势就是有叙述者，让读者们至少会看到一个恒定角色的内心思想。
Still, the hope with any adaptation is that fans of the book will leave the theater satisfied despite the differences and non-readers will come away loving the story just as much as they would have had they devoured the book.
不过，就算跟原著有所不同，改编后的电影仍然有希望让书迷们离开影院时感到满意，而那些没有读过原著的影迷们也会像读过一般喜欢上这个故事。
For Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One, the book-to-movie transition was a "really difficult adaptation," Tye Sheridan, who stars as Wade Watts/Parzival, said at a recent press day for the movie in Los Angeles.
对史蒂芬.斯皮尔伯格的《头号玩家》来说，从书到电影的改变“尤为困难”，泰.史瑞丹最近在洛杉矶的媒体见面会上说，他在影片中出演韦德.沃茨/帕西法尔。
"Steven's the first one to say that there are 10, 12, 15 movies inside of Ready Player One," he added, noting that the director worked closely with author Ernest Cline and screenwriter Zak Penn to condense the expansive world described in the book into a visual extravaganza that lasts under two-and-a-half hours.
“史蒂芬是头一个说《头号玩家》书里藏着10,12或者15部电影的人，”他补充道，值得注意的是导演跟作者欧内斯特.克莱恩还有编剧扎克.彭紧密合作，一起将书中描绘的广阔世界浓缩成了两个半小时的视觉狂欢。
As a fan of the book himself, Sheridan was satisfied with the transition.
本身就作为一名书迷的史瑞丹对改编也是很满意的。
"It feels like the reason I love the book, all those reasons are embedded in the film," he said.
“就好像所有那些我喜欢这本书的点，都埋伏在了电影里面，”他说。
It's up to the audiences to decide if they agree, but in the meantime, here are five major differences and two comforting similarities that we spotted in the film, in theaters now.
最后还是要由观众们来决定他们是否买账，同时，这里归纳了我们在影院里看到这部电影的五点主要的改动以及两个令人欣喜的共同之处。
Difference #1: The Set Up
改动一：背景设定
There are some differences that are apparent just from watching the trailer — things like the movie taking place in Columbus, Ohio, rather than Oklahoma City.
首先只看预告片就能看到明显的改动—电影讲的故事发生在俄亥俄州的哥伦布市，而不是水中的俄克拉荷马州。
This feels like a minor change, considering the general atmosphere still has that over-populated, energy-depleted gloom.
这算是小改动，因为总体的氛围还是一个人口爆炸，能源枯竭的末世。
(For book fans, the new location also feels like a nice nod to Oasis founder James Halliday’s home state.)
（对书迷来说，新的地点似乎也是对绿洲的建立者詹姆斯.哈利德的故乡的致敬。）
Even the Stacks are pretty similar to their description in the book, although Wade's trailer in the movie is smaller than described in the book, with him in a single-family unit and living only with his aunt and her boyfriend.
尽管电影中的集装箱楼跟书中描写类似，不过韦德的箱房比书中所写的还要更小，他当时住在单亲家庭单元，跟姑妈还有她的男朋友一起住。
This could feel like a new display of wealth, which also comes to play when Wade swaps in his human persona for his avatar.
这似乎一种新的炫富，当韦德在替身中换上人类角色的时候也是如此。
The movie grants Parzival a dope outfit and sick ride. No more "Great outfit, slick" jabs for Wade3!
电影中给帕西法尔安排了邋遢的外套和糟糕的坐骑。再没有了（书中）韦德3号的炫酷外套和灵活坐骑。
Difference #2: School's Out
改动2：学校没有出现
Actually, no more anything for Wade3.
事实上，韦德3号也没什么别的了。
The Oasis Public School system doesn’t show up in the movie, so if you were mostly looking forward to field trips to King Tut’s tomb and the human heart, maybe try a documentary instead.
在绿洲里的公立学校系统并没有出现在影片中，所以如果你想要看到去图坦卡蒙墓或者人类心脏中的实地考察旅行，也许只能在纪录片看到了。
Of course, no OPS means that in the movie, the keys and Halliday’s Easter Egg are hidden in unfamiliar places, blessing fans of the book with a spoiler-free journey through the Oasis — and that’s all I’m going to say about that!
当然了，电影中没有了公立学校系统，那些钥匙和哈利德的彩蛋就只能藏在别的不熟悉的地方了，也让书迷们穿行在绿洲中的时候不至于被剧透—我也就说到这里啦。
Difference #3: Gunter Bible Update
改动3：刚特圣经升级
Anorak’s Almanac gets a pretty cool upgrade thanks to some movie magic.
阿诺拉克图鉴因为电影特效得到了很棒的升级。
In the book, the Gunter bible is a PDF file filled with words and sentences.
在书中，刚特圣经只不过是写有各种词句的PDF文件。
In the movie, it’s an immersive multi-media library that anyone in the Oasis can visit and explore, giving moviegoers the visual experience they paid for.
在电影中，它变成了让人身临其境的多媒体图书馆，绿洲中的任何人都可以去借阅探索，让影迷们获得了值回票价的视觉体验。
Difference #4: Easter Eggs For All
改动4：大家的彩蛋
The ample pop culture references sprinkled throughout the book also get the benefit of Hollywood's movie magic.
书中不时出现的丰富的流行文化也在好莱坞电影的魔法中大放异彩。
Whereas all of the mentions are flat-out written into the book, a ton of '80s classics are dropped into the movie without much broadcast or fanfare, cleverly giving audiences Easter Eggs of our own.
书中所有的描写都是直白的，而电影中则不动声色，不加吹嘘地默默植入了很多80后的经典，巧妙地把彩蛋留给观众们自己去寻找。
Difference #5: Meeting Art3mis
改动5：遇见阿尔忒弥斯
One of the major critiques that came after the initial craze over the book settled was that Ready Player One personifies everything that's wrong with nerd culture and the red flags that resulted in Gamergate.
在书火起来之后的对书中设定的一个主要批评就是《头号玩家》中将宅男文化的弊端和导致了游戏之门出现的危险都人物化了。
Put very simply, in the book, Wade seeing love interest Art3mis as merely a trophy to be won was interpreted by some as a symptom of the toxic masculinity that tarnishes fandom.
简单地说，在书中，韦德把赢得阿尔忒弥斯的爱情纯粹当做一种战利品，会被有些人解读成对书迷有害的有毒的直男癌。
Well, I am happy to report that the movie aims to correct that misstep by giving its two female characters, Art3mis and Aech, more agency.
那么，很高兴告诉大家电影想要纠正这个过失，电影中两个女性角色阿尔忒弥斯和艾可，会有更多戏份。
Rather than waiting until the end to connect with his virtual friends, Wade’s clan enters his life earlier in the movie, allowing them each to play integral roles in the quest to save the Oasis and broadening the idea of what it means to be a hero.
韦德的伙伴们在电影中更早地出现在了他的生活中，而不像书中等到最后才跟虚拟朋友会合，这样就可以让每个人物在拯救绿洲的过程中显得更加完整，也让人们扩大了英雄的概念。
Similarity #1: Easter Eggs For Book Lovers
相似处1：给书迷的彩蛋
Even though some events play out differently in the movie, there are certain things from the book that pop up in the movie in new places.
尽管有些事件在电影中有变化，书中还是有些事件在电影中以新的顺序出现。
Basically, these discrete modifications serve as additional Easter Eggs and clues for fans of the book.
这些零散的改动基本上可以作为书迷们额外的彩蛋和线索。
Similarity #2: The General Worlds
相似处2：大战
In essence, the worlds that are described in the book are believably the same as the worlds portrayed in the movie.
总体来说，书中描绘的世界跟电影中展现的世界基本上是一样的。
Even though many details go unstated, altered, or are left out entirely, none of that detracts from the epic experience of traveling between the dystopian reality of 2045 and the fantastical world of the Oasis.
尽管有些细节有增删或改动，都不会影响观众们在反乌托邦的2045的现实和绿洲的梦幻世界中穿行的史诗般的体验。
