習近平主席于今明兩天訪問伊朗，這是中國國家主席時隔14年再次訪伊。

說起伊朗，大家都會想起他們的電影。伊朗電影的質量之高，令人贊嘆，更是有阿巴斯·基阿魯斯達米這樣的電影大師。

我們今天請著名影評人、《中國日報》專欄作家周黎明先生來為我們解讀一下伊朗電影。

不同于好萊塢

When the 2011 Iranian film A Separation swept across the international cinema land scape winning a string of major kudos, it also swept many Chinese cinephiles off their feet.
2011年伊朗電影《一次別離》席卷了國際電影市場并獲得了一連串的褒獎，它也使得很多中國影迷為之神魂顛倒。

Here is a movie that cost a mere $300,000 and tells a simple tale of two families, an antithesis to the glamour of screen portrayals, but it sheds light on a country with its education, religion, class, gender roles, among others.
這部僅僅花費了30萬美元的電影講述了一個有關兩個家庭的簡單故事，展現的是屏幕形象魅力的對立面，但它揭示了一個國家的教育、宗教、階級、性別角色等問題。

Best of all, it is a gentle probe into the core of humanity, making it accessible to those with no knowledge to the country where the movie was made, or even to those hostile to it.
最重要的是，這部電影溫和地探究到了人性深處,并將之呈現給了不了解伊朗甚至仇視伊朗的人們。

While many are ignorant about the country per se, they are fascinated by what Iranian filmmakers have to offer – something that is the opposite of Hollywood blockbusters.
很多人忽略了這個國家本身，他們被伊朗電影制作人所拍攝的與好萊塢大片不同的內容所吸引。

Iranian films are often about families and friends, daily routines that do not lend readily to screen dramatization.
伊朗電影描述的通常是家庭、朋友以及不容易產生戲劇沖突的日常生活。

Yet many of these works are engrossing because they show the microscopic nuances of human dynamics within these limited ranges.
但很多這樣的作品卻是引人入勝的，因為它們在這些有限的范圍內表現出了人類行為微觀上的細微差異。

電影大師阿巴斯

Abbas Kiarostami is an Iranian film master who is held in very high regard in China. Scholarly pieces and volumes have been devoted to the analysis and appreciation of his films, including Taste of Cherry and The Wind Will Carry Us.
阿巴斯·基阿魯斯達米是在中國受到很高評價的伊朗電影大師。很多學術作品都致力于分析鑒賞他的電影，包括《櫻桃的滋味》和《隨風而逝》。

It can be challenging for the uninitiated to sit through an Abbas film, which is not strong on plot, to say the least.
讓一個外行人看完整部阿巴斯的電影是極具挑戰性的，因為至少它的故事情節性不強。

But those who love him have discovered a vast world of its own.
但是喜歡阿巴斯的人已經發現了一個廣闊的世界。

Other than films, poems and photographs of the master have also graced Chinese pages and galleries.
除了電影，這位大師的詩句和照片也在中國的網頁和畫廊受到歡迎。

平淡卻最純粹

Iran also has movies that are not abstruse, but rather, deceptively simple and poignantly humanistic.
伊朗也有不那么難理解的電影，但看似簡單卻有著強烈的人文意味。

The 1997 family drama Children of Heaven, often translated as Small Shoes in Chinese, has warmed many Chinese hearts.
1997年的家庭劇情片《天堂的孩子》，通常也譯作《小鞋子》溫暖了很多中國人的心。

It is about a boy from a disenfranchised family who lost his little sister’s shoes and went through many adventures for a pair of replacement.
它講述了一個來自被剝奪了公民權家庭的小男孩丟失了妹妹的鞋子之后為得到一雙新鞋子歷盡磨難的故事。

On the Chinese website douban for reviews, the movie has a score of 9.1, averaged from over 100,000 viewers.
在中國的豆瓣網上，這部電影在超過10萬人的觀眾中平均評分高達9.1。

著眼于最真摯的人性

Zhang Yang, a Chinese film director, used Iranian cinema as a reference point: “I feel that you do not need to choose an anti-social or political subject to stand out, but rather, to discover the humanity in daily routines and trivialities, the kind of small things one takes for granted, and that will elevate you to a higher artistic status.”
一位叫張揚的中國電影導演，使用伊朗電影作為參考。“我覺得沒有必要選擇反社會或者強調政治敏感的主題，而應該著力于發現日常生活和瑣事中的人性，這類被認為是理所當然的小事恰恰能夠將你送到一個新的藝術高度。”
