纳尼亚传奇2英语影评

While standing on a British railway station,awaiting their train to school after the summer holidays,Peter,Susan,Edmund,and Lucy Pevensie are magically whisked away to a beach near an old and ruined castle.They come to realize the ruin is Cair Paravel,where they once ruled as the Kings and Queens of Narnia,and discover the treasure vault where Peter's sword and shield,Susan’s bow and arrows,and Lucy’s bottle of magical cordial and dagger are stored.Susan's horn for summoning help is missing,however,as she left it in the woods the day they returned to England after their first visit to Narnia.Although only a year has passed in England,many centuries[1] have passed in Narnia.

That same day,they intervene to rescue Trumpkin the dwarf from soldiers who have brought him to the ruins to drown him.Trumpkin tells the children that since their disappearance,a race of men called Telmarines have invaded Narnia,driving the Talking Beasts into the wilderness and pushing even their memory underground.Narnia is now ruled by King Miraz and his wife Queen Prunaprismia,but the rightful king is Miraz's young nephew,Prince Caspian,who has gained the support of the Old Narnians.

Miraz had usurped the throne by killing his own brother,Caspian's father King Caspian IX.Miraz tolerated Caspian as heir until his own son was born.Prince Caspian,until that point ignorant of his uncle's evil deeds,escaped from Miraz's Castle with the aid of his tutor Doctor Cornelius,who had schooled him in the lore of Old Narnia,and who gives him in parting Queen Susan's horn.Caspian flees into the forest but is knocked unconscious when his horse bolts.He awakes in the den of a talking badger,Trufflehunter,and two dwarfs,Nikabrik and Trumpkin,who accept Caspian as their king.
