[雙語]普京化身漫畫英雄 大戰(zhàn)僵尸拯救乘客

Russia`s Vladimir Putin saves the day as a martial arts superhero in a comic strip spreading on the Russian Internet, where he teams up with bearskin-wearing sidekick Dmitry Medvedev.
一部以俄羅斯總理弗拉基米爾•普京為主角的連環(huán)漫畫近日在俄羅斯網(wǎng)上流傳。普京在漫畫中化身為一位武藝高超的超級英雄，和一身熊皮裝扮的搭檔德米特里•梅德韋杰夫一起并肩作戰(zhàn)。

The comic strip, apparently the first in a series about "Super Putin, Man Like Any Other" is available on www.superputin.ru and is set in Moscow "one year before the end of the world."
該連環(huán)漫畫系列主題為“超級普京——與其他人一樣”，目前第一期已登載在www.superputin.ru網(wǎng)站上，背景為“世界末日”前一年的莫斯科。

Russia will choose its next president in 2012 and observers have their eyes peeled for any indication of whether current President Medvedev or Prime Minister Putin will seek the six-year-term as head of the country.
俄羅斯將于2012年舉行總統(tǒng)大選，觀察家正密切注意現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)梅德韋杰夫或者總理普京是否將競選下屆任期六年的總統(tǒng)。

Although one of the strip`s creators said it was drawn by pro bono artists, some Internet users hinted darkly that it may be a part of a behind-the-scenes campaign or was even commissioned by the Kremlin.
盡管漫畫的創(chuàng)作者之一表示漫畫是由公益藝術(shù)家創(chuàng)作的，但一些網(wǎng)友仍隱晦地指出，這也許是幕后競選活動的一部分，甚至是克林姆林宮指使的。

With a plot line resembling the 1990s US action film "Speed", the strip shows a kimono-wearing Putin -- described as a man "with a Nordic character" -- save a busload of people from a bomb blast.
漫畫的情節(jié)主線類似于上世紀(jì)90年代美國動作片《生死時(shí)速》，普京一身和服打扮，據(jù)稱性格類似北歐人，他在一次炸彈爆炸來臨前拯救了一輛巴士中的眾多民眾。

"I will go no slower than 80 km/h," Putin says, gritting his teeth.
普京咬緊牙關(guān)說：“時(shí)速不會低于80公里。”

As he speeds ahead, he receives help from "nano-human" Medvedev, who unzips a frightening bear costume and sends a crawling iPad to deactivate the explosive.
在飛速前行時(shí)，普京還得到了“納米人”梅德韋杰夫的幫助。梅德韋杰夫拉開令人畏懼的熊皮衣，掏出一部可以自動前行的iPad解除了爆炸裝置。

The strip pokes fun at Putin`s judo hobby and Medvedev`s penchant for technological gadgets.
漫畫拿普京的柔道愛好和梅德韋杰夫?qū)萍籍a(chǎn)品的喜愛開起了玩笑。

The bus is then attacked by a crowd of zombies that scream "Let us elect governors!" and "Free Khodorkovsky!" with Putin facing them in the final act.
巴士隨后被一群僵尸襲擊，還喊道：“讓我們選出統(tǒng)治者吧！”和“釋放霍多爾科夫斯基（譯者注：俄羅斯寡頭，因貪污洗錢罪被判刑）！”在最后一個(gè)場景中，普京直面僵尸作戰(zhàn)。

The strip`s writer Sergei Kalenik said it took two weeks to create and was not a paid project.
漫畫家謝爾蓋•卡列尼克稱創(chuàng)作耗時(shí)兩周，沒有人為此出錢。

"We wanted to stir Russia`s depressing political scene and create some dialogue," he told the reporters.
他告訴記者：“我們想給俄羅斯沉悶的政治舞臺增添一點(diǎn)趣味，創(chuàng)造一些話題。”

He said some media outlets had refused to publish the strip because it refers to Medvedev as a "gnome".
他表示由于梅德韋杰夫在漫畫中被描述為“侏儒”，某些媒體拒絕出版。
