Big Fish And Begonia, directed by two Tsinghua University dropouts, has got the internet talking while it chases the box-office bucks.
日前，两位清华大学辍学学生执导的《大鱼海棠》票房大卖，并在网上引起一番热议。
Even for those with little interest in cinema, ignoring the animation hit Big Fish And Begonia will be tough. Since its premiere on July 8, the film directed by two Tsinghua University dropouts is still dominating Chinese social media.
即使是对电影不感兴趣的人，也很难忽视《大鱼海棠》这部热映的动画片。自7月8日上映以来，这部电影一直是中国社交媒体的热议话题。
Latest figures on Sina Weibo, China's largest Twitter-like service, show that posts related to the film have generated more than 3 billion clicks, and more than 2 million reviews.
中国最大的推特类社交媒体--新浪微博的最新数据表明，《大鱼海棠》相关帖子的点击量超过30亿次，评论总数超过200万。
Despite drawing praise at some international festivals, Big Fish And Begonia is receiving a polarized audience at home.
虽然一些国际电影节上对《大鱼海棠》赞赏有加，但中国观众对该电影的观点却两极分化。
To supporters, the long-awaited feature is an unprecedented creation for the values it espouses and its breathtaking landscapes. But its critics complain that a romance triangle and flat dialogues ruin the storyline.
对支持者而言，这部期待已久的电影因其倡导的价值观和令人震撼的画面而被称为史无前例的创作。但是批评者认为，三角恋和平淡的对话破坏了故事情节。
Deeply rooted in Chinese mythology, the film is set in a wonderland that manages the human world. The fictional world is designed like tulou, a fortresslike residence in East China's Fujian province. The film opens when a lot of whales are seen slowly swimming in the sea. The narrator says the human soul is actually a fish whose journey across the ocean shows the different stages of life.
《大鱼海棠》源于中国神话，故事发生在一个统治人类世界的仙界。这个虚构的世界以中国东部福建省堡垒状的土楼为依托。电影开始的场景是很多鲸鱼在海里慢慢地游来游去。旁白说道，所有活着的人类，都是海里一条巨大的鱼，他们的生命就像横越大海，有时相遇，有时分开。
The story then focuses on a young girl from the wonderland and her love for a boy from the human world.
之后，电影讲述了一个仙界女孩与人间男孩之间的爱情故事。
"China has seen few domestic animation titles that accurately showcase oriental culture and history," says Zuo Heng, an associate researcher with the China Film Art Research Center. "And, despite Big Fish And Begonia bearing influences of Hayao Miyazaki (Japanese animation master), it has done a good job in maintaining its Chinese roots."
中国电影艺术研究中心副研究员员左衡表示：“中国缺乏能够展示东方文化和历史的动画电影。虽然《大鱼海棠》受到日本动画大师宫崎骏的影响，但是它也完美地维护了中国文化的根基。”
