real events/ 真实事件/ (zhēnshí shìjiàn)

A: Have you seen the just released movie Lost and Love?

你看过《失孤》这部刚上的电影吗?

(nǐ kànɡuò shīɡū zhèbù ɡānɡshànɡde diànyǐnɡ ma?)

B: I've head of it. It seems to be themed on child trafficking and was based on real events. 

我听说过,好像是关于拐卖儿童的题材,还是根据真实事件改编的。

(wǒ tīnɡshuō ɡuò, hǎoxiànɡ shì ɡuānyú ɡuǎimài értónɡ de tícái, háishì ɡēnjù zhēnshí shìjiàn ɡǎibiān de.)

A: Yes. Over the past 24 years, the father the movie was based upon never gave up the search for his kid. He finally found his son this year.

没错。24年来,电影原型的这位父亲从来没有放弃过寻找。在今年,他终于找到了自己的儿子。

(méicuò. ershisi nián lái, diànyǐnɡ yuánxínɡ de zhèwèi fùqīn cónɡlái méiyǒu fànɡqì ɡuò xúnzhǎo.zài jīnnián, tā zhōnɡyú zhǎodàole zìjǐde érzǐ.)

B: Really? It's hard to imagine how that father passed all these years.

真的吗?难以想象这么多年来,这位父亲是怎么过来的。

(zhēnde ma?nányǐ xiǎnɡxiànɡ zhème duōnián lái, zhèwèi fùqīn shì zěnme ɡuòlái de.)

A: Well, the police were always helping him in the search at the same time. 

与此同时,警方也一直在帮助他寻找。

(yǔcǐ tónɡshí, jǐnɡfānɡ yě yīzhí zài bānɡzhù tā xúnzhǎo.)

B: The love of a father is strong. It's hard to imagine it. For me, the fact that they were able to reunite, is the best ending for that movie. 

父爱深厚,令人难以想象。在我看来,他们能够团聚,这也是这部电影最好的结局了。

(fùài shēnhòu, lìnɡrén nányǐ xiǎnɡxiànɡ.zài wǒ kànlái, tāmén nénɡ ɡòu tuánjù, zhè yěshì zhèbù diànyǐnɡ zuìhǎode jiéjúle.)
