《百年孤独》：从书页到荧幕
Netflix hopes great literature can translate into great television. It would be hard, Gabriel García Márquez thought, to do justice to the surreal, sprawling tale on screen.
网飞希望能将文学巨著改编成影视经典。但加夫列尔·加西亚·马尔克斯生前认为，要将这部超现实主义的庞杂故事如实搬上荧幕非常困难。
By his reckoning, "One Hundred Years of Solitude", his celebrated novel of 1967, would need a runtime of 100 hours; it would also have to be filmed in Colombia, entirely in Spanish.
据他估计，这部1967年出版的著名小说《百年孤独》需要100个小时的片长，必须在哥伦比亚取景，而且全程要用西班牙语拍摄。
Netflix, with the support of Márquez's estate, has honoured two of those three proclamations. But keeping in mind how much solitude viewers actually want, it has opted to compress Márquez's novel into 16 episodes, with the first tranche released on December 11th.
在获得马尔克斯遗产管理委员会支持后，网飞兑现了其中两项要求。但考虑到观众对于“孤独”的耐受程度，网飞决定将马尔克斯的原著浓缩成16集，第一季已于12月11日上线。
The book presents a formidable challenge to film-makers for two reasons. One is its status: many think "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was the greatest novel of the 20th century.
这本书在两方面给电影制作人带来了巨大的挑战。其一在于小说本身的崇高地位——《百年孤独》被公认为20世纪最伟大的小说。
It helped Márquez win the Nobel prize in literature in 1982 and has sold some 50m copies worldwide. With affection comes expectation. When the TV show was announced, fans online were quick to express their fears about an oversimplified, "caricatured" retelling.
该作帮助马尔克斯斩获了1982年的诺贝尔文学奖，全球销量达5000万册。由于读者众多，该小说的改编自然也备受期待。剧集官宣当日，书迷们立即在网上表达了自己的担忧，唯恐影像化会沦为“符号化”的简陋复刻。
Those remarks point to the other test for adaptors, which is the novel's sheer complexity. Set in around 1850-1950, the book traces the fortunes of the Buendía family across several generations, from the time José Arcadio and his wife, úrsula, establish the town of Macondo to the moment their last descendant dies, with civil war, modernisation, economic prosperity and ruin in between.
这些言论指出了编剧面临的另一个考验，那就是小说本身的复杂性。小说设定在大约1850年至1950年间，追溯了布恩迪亚家族几代人的命运，从何塞·阿尔卡蒂奥和妻子乌苏拉建立马孔多镇到他们的最后一个后人去世，其间经历了内战、现代化、经济繁荣和最终的消亡。
Time, in this tale, is a "turning wheel" that yields "unavoidable repetitions". Male scions are all called some combination of José, Arcadio or Aureliano.
在这个故事里，时间化作“滚滚的车轮”，产生了“不可避免的重复”。男性子嗣永远以何塞、阿尔卡蒂奥与奥雷里亚诺排列组合命名。
There are more unusual occurrences, too. Characters die, only to return as ghosts. One man is permanently surrounded by a kaleidoscope of yellow butterflies; another cracks his head open, leaking not blood but an "amber-coloured oil that was impregnated with that secret perfume".
书中还有更多不寻常的事件：亡者化作幽灵重返人间；一个男人永远被绚烂的黄色蝶阵围绕；另一个男人头颅破裂，但流出来不是鲜血，而是“浸透着神秘芬芳的琥珀色的油”。
On the page this magical realism, as Márquez's style came to be known, can be entrancing. The risk is that it could look oddly unconvincing on screen.
在文字中，马尔克斯为后人所熟知的魔幻现实主义风格可能会令人心驰神往。但在荧幕上，这种风格却可能陷入怪诞失真的险境。
When Netflix approached Alex García López, a director, about the project, he was excited but apprehensive. "I remember the book having very little dialogue. I remember it being a very existential kind of book and jumping all over the place. I thought: 'This is just not really doable, is it?'"
当网飞与导演亚历克斯·加西亚·洛佩斯接洽这个项目时，洛佩斯既兴奋又惶恐。“我记得原著几乎没有对白，那是一本非常存在主义的书，情节非常跳跃。我想：‘改编其实是不可能的，不是吗？’”
It was. José Rivera, one of the screenwriters, decided that the story should proceed chronologically and that it needed a narrator.
确实是做不到的。其中一位编剧何塞·里韦拉决定这个故事应该按时间顺序进行，并且需要一个叙述者。
It quotes from the novel verbatim."It was a great way of having Gabo's voice guide us through the story," Mr López says, and a way to be "faithful to the book…to its execution, to its style".
它逐字引用了原著中的句段。“让加博的声音引导我们了解故事不失为一个好办法，”洛佩斯表示，同时这也是一种“忠于原著内容、具体落地和整体风格”的改编方式。
As a result, the film-makers have captured the strangeness of the story, in which events are at once fantastical and mundane. They have also retained its sensuality. "We do not want to rewrite history," asserts Francisco Ramos, Netflix's vice-president of Latin American content: "That's the way things happened."
结果电影制作人精准捕捉了这个故事的神秘特质，于是奇幻瑰丽和市井日常得以在故事情节中一览无余。制作人也忠实再现了原著对于情欲的描写。“我们不想篡改历史，”网飞负责拉丁美洲内容的副总裁弗朗西斯科·拉莫斯坚称，“原著中提及的事情就是这样真实发生的。”
In fact, keeping in Aureliano's wooing of Remedios, a nine-year-old girl, makes the tale more timely. Only last month Colombia passed legislation prohibiting anyone under the age of 18 from getting married.
原著中奥雷里亚诺对九岁女孩蕾梅黛斯展开追求，而影视化过程中对原著这一情节的保留让这个故事显得更具时代性。就在上个月，哥伦比亚通过了一项法律，全面禁止未满18岁的童婚。
To write "One Hundred Years of Solitude" Márquez drew on his childhood town of Aracataca. The novel "couldn't be more specific and more grounded…in a very specific part of a huge, huge country", Mr Ramos says, but "because of the way he tells the story it has global resonance".
为了创作《百年孤独》，马尔克斯从他童年时期的家乡阿拉卡塔卡汲取创作灵感。拉莫斯先生说，这部小说原本“根植于广袤国度的某个具体坐标，已经足够具体落地”，但“由于他的魔幻现实主义叙事，却在全球范围产生了共鸣”。
Almost 60 years later, Netflix is hoping this is true of its own version. Márquez's book, after all, is about history repeating itself.
差不多60年后，网飞希望这种共鸣也能在影版中再现。毕竟，马尔克斯的这本书本就是关于历史的永恒循环。
