2024考研英语同源外刊4月:《教皇的驱魔人》

Most professions are flattered by the attentions of Hollywood. Yet a body representing the real-life practitioners depicted in new Russell Crowe horror The Pope’s Exorcist have condemned the film as “unreliable … splatter cinema”. The film’s plot – which posters declare was “inspired by the actual files of Father Gabriele Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican” – sees Crowe play Amorth, tasked with investigating a young boy’s possession. In the process, he uncovers a “centuries-old conspiracy” that the Vatican has “desperately tried to keep hidden”.

大多数职业都因好莱坞的关注而倍感荣幸。然而，一个代表罗素·克劳新片《教皇的驱魔人》中描绘的现实生活中从业者的团体谴责这部电影是“不可靠的……溅污电影”。电影的情节——海报宣称“灵感来自梵蒂冈首席驱魔人加布里埃尔·阿莫斯神父的真实档案”——克劳饰演阿莫斯，负责调查一个小男孩的附身。在这个过程中，他揭露了一个梵蒂冈“竭力隐瞒”的“数百年来的阴谋”。

The star is then seen angering panels of official clergy with his loose-cannon, maverick approach to exorcism, before confronting the possessor of the cursed child in a dramatic spiritual battle. In a statement issued last month, the International Association of Exorcists (IAE) called the title of the film “pretentious” and claimed that its Da Vinci Code-esque conspiratorial plot poses “unacceptable doubt” to the public as to who “the real enemy is, the devil or ecclesiastical power”.

然后，这位明星以他我行我素的、特立独行的驱魔方式激怒了一群官方神职人员，然后与被诅咒孩子的附身对峙，进行了一场戏剧性的精神斗争。在上个月发表的一份声明中，国际驱魔人协会(IAE)称这部电影的片名“矫揉造作”，并声称其类似达·芬奇密码式的阴谋情节给公众带来了“不可接受得怀疑”，即“谁是真正的敌人，魔鬼还是教会力量”。

Amorth, who died in 2016. helped found the IAE – a pressure group within the Vatican – in 1994. Although it was initially snubbed by Pope John Paul II, since 2014. the IAE has enjoyed the official stamp of approval for its activities. “The end result is to instil the conviction that exorcism is an abnormal, monstrous, and frightening phenomenon, whose only protagonist is the devil, whose violent reactions can be faced with great difficulty,” the group said.

阿莫斯于2016年去世，他于1994年帮助成立了梵蒂冈内部的压力集团IAE。尽管起初受到教皇约翰·保罗二世的冷落，但自2014年以来，IAE的活动获得了官方的批准。“结果是灌输这样一种信念：驱魔是一种不正常的、丑恶的、可怕的现象，它的主角是魔鬼，面对魔鬼的暴力反应会非常困难。”该组织说。
