Jake: If you want to hit this thing, it's going to be complicated.Your scan doesn't show the internal structure. There's an outer row of columns, real heavy duty. There's a secondary ring here, and an inner ring. There's a core structure like a spiral. That's how they move up and down.

Colonel: We're gonna need accurate scans of every column.

Jake: Roger that.

Colonel: What else can you tell us about the structure?

Jake: I'm guessing this secondary ring, that's also load bearing. Where are we going?

You look like them, you talk like them and they'll start trusting us. We build them a school, we teach them English ... But after how many years relations with the indigenous are only getting worse.

Parker:  Right, come here. This is why we're here, Unobtanium. Because this little gray rock sells for 20 million a kilo. That's the only reason. It's what pays for the whole party. It's what pays for your science. Comprendo? Now,those savages are threatening our whole operation. We're on the brink of war and you're supposed to be finding a diplomatic solution.

▲Selected Scene 4（时长3:33）

角色   ①Parker Selfridge  ②Dr. Grace Augustine  ③Jake Sully ④Colonel Miles Quaritch    ⑤Lyle

(Jake is about to tell the Navi the truth, but the colonel suddenly cuts off his and Grace’s Avatar connection. )

Grace: Those trees were sacred to Omaticaya in a way you can't imagine.

Parker: You know what? You throw a stick in the air around here it's gonna land on some sacred fern for Christ's sake.

Grace: I'm not talking about some kind of pagan voodoo here. I'm talking about something real, something measurable in biology of the forest.

Parker: Which is what exactly?

Grace: What we think we know is that there's some kind of electro chemical communication between the roots of the trees. Like synapses between neurons. And each tree has ten-to-the-fourth connections to the trees around it. And there are ten-    to-the-twelfth trees on Pandora.

Parker: Which is a lot, I'm guessing.

Grace: It's more connections than the human brain. Get it? It's a network. It's a global network, and the Na’vi can access it. They can upload and download data. Memories, at sites like the one you just destroyed. Yes!

Parker: What the hell have you people been smoking out there? They're just goddamn trees.

Grace: You need to wake up Parker.

Parker: No, you need to wake up.

Grace: The wealth of this world isn't in the ground, it's all around us. The Na'vi know that, and they're fighting to defend it. If you want to share this world with them, you need to understand them.

Colonel: I'd say we understand them just fine, thanks to Jake here. Hey Doc, come take a look.

Jake: They're not gonna give up their home. They're not gonna make a deal. For light beer? And blue jeans? There's nothing that we have that they want. Everything they sent me out here to do is a waste of time. They're never gonna leave Hometree.

Colonel: Since a deal can't be made I guess things get real simple, Jake.  Thanks. I'm getting all emotional. I might just give you big wet  kiss. Talk to me Lyle.

Lyle: It looks like they hit it with banshees first. See the angle's steep? They set the ampsuit on fire. Driver's toast.

Colonel: The rest of the squad?

Lyle: Six bodies. That's all of them.

Parker: Jesus Christ.

Colonel: I'll do with minimal casualties to indigenous. I'll drive them out with gas first. It'll be humane. More or less.

Jake: The people say, Eywa will provide. But no home, no hope ... There was only one place they could go. 

Norm: Link's running. What's the plan here Jake? 

Jake: There's no plan.

But to ever face them again ... I was gonna have to take it to a whole new level. Sometimes your whole life  boils down to one insane move. There's something we gotta do. You're not going to like it. The way I had it figured,Turok is the baddest cat in the sky. Nothing attacks him. Easy boy. 

Directions: Translate the following Chinese into English.

《阿凡达》，著名导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆导演的科幻电影,让人深思，给我留下了深刻的印象。它以惊人的速度赚了数亿美元,成为全世界迄今为止票房最高的电影之一。是什么让它成功了?有些人认为是由计算机生成的华丽的虚幻的画面，但是我发现其内涵更精彩。《阿凡达》促使我们思考，为什么在这部影片中大多数人类都强烈地追求财富,甚至不惜破坏潘多拉星球的环境和屠杀当地人？是因为潘多拉不是我们的家园吗？显然不是，在地球上人类也破坏环境和互相伤害。詹姆斯·卡梅隆通过电影展示了人性的贪婪，让我们对破坏环境的人类感到厌恶。
