The teaser explores more of the fictional Pandora than viewers saw in the first film, though its brilliant blues and bioluminescenceremain. At the end of the clip, Sam Worthington, who portrayed protagonist Jake in the first film, cryptically assures his distressed partner, played by Zoe Saldana, that "this family is our fortress."

此預(yù)告展現(xiàn)了比觀眾在第一部電影中看到的更多的虛構(gòu)潘多拉星球，盡管其聰明的藍(lán)色人和生物發(fā)光仍然存在。在片段的結(jié)尾，在第一部電影中扮演主角杰克的薩姆·沃辛頓向佐伊·索爾達(dá)娜飾演的他苦惱的伴侶隱晦地保證：“這個(gè)家庭是我們的堡壘。”

The plot details of the new film remain tightly under wraps, but original film stars Worthington, Saldana and Sigourney Weaver are slated to return. Joining them are series newcomers Michelle Yeoh, Kate Winslet, Edie Falco and Oona Chaplin in key roles.

新片的情節(jié)細(xì)節(jié)仍然被嚴(yán)格保密，但原片陣容沃辛頓、索爾達(dá)娜和西格妮·韋弗預(yù)計(jì)將回歸。與他們一起出演的還有在《阿凡達(dá)》系列中首次出演的楊紫瓊、凱特·溫斯萊特、埃迪·法可和奧娜·卓別林等關(guān)鍵角色。

While Jake and Neytiri make their return in The Way of Water’s first trailer, this time around, it isn’t just the two of them. In the time between the first film and The Way of Water, Jake and Neytiri have had children, and there are a number of shots in the trailer drawing attention to how the growth of Na’vi families will be important to the movie’s story. In addition to a Na’vi child, the trailer also features shots of Jake and Neytiri caring for a seemingly human one who has to wear a special mask in order to survive on the planet.

雖然杰克和娜蒂瑞在《水之道》的第一支預(yù)告片中回歸，但這一次，他們不只有兩個(gè)人了。在第一部電影和《水之道》之間的時(shí)間里，杰克和娜蒂瑞已經(jīng)有了孩子，預(yù)告片中的一些鏡頭讓人注意到納美人家庭的成長(zhǎng)對(duì)電影故事的重要性。除了一個(gè)納美人小孩，預(yù)告片中還有杰克和娜蒂瑞照顧一個(gè)似乎是人類(lèi)的孩子的鏡頭，這個(gè)孩子必須戴著特殊的面具才能在這個(gè)星球上生存。

The human child’s presence raises some questions about how Earth reacted to the Na’vi fending off its attempt to rob Pandora of its valuable unobtanium, but the implication is that humanity couldn’t be deterred in the end. Along with a slew of new looks at Pandora’s coastal Metkayina reefs, the trailer also spotlights shots of Na’vi clothed in human-like combat gear and wearing guns, suggesting that the humans have only doubled down on their use of avatars as weapons of war.

這個(gè)人類(lèi)孩子的出現(xiàn)引發(fā)了一些問(wèn)題，即地球?qū){美人抵御其搶奪潘多拉星球上寶貴的不動(dòng)產(chǎn)的企圖有何反應(yīng)，但其暗指的結(jié)果是人類(lèi)最終無(wú)法被阻止。除了對(duì)潘多拉海岸的梅特基亞納珊瑚礁的一系列新的鏡頭之外，預(yù)告片還著重展現(xiàn)了納美人身穿類(lèi)似人類(lèi)的戰(zhàn)斗裝備和佩戴槍支的鏡頭，表明人類(lèi)只是加倍使用化身，將其作為戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)武器。

Back when it premiered in 2009, "Avatar" was an inescapablephenomenon. The film was lauded for its then-groundbreaking visuals -- it was one of the first films to be rendered almost entirely through hyper-realistic motion capture technology -- and environmental message.

在2009年首映時(shí)，《阿凡達(dá)》是一部躲不開(kāi)的現(xiàn)象級(jí)電影。這部電影因其當(dāng)時(shí)突破性的視覺(jué)效果而受到稱(chēng)贊——它是第一批幾乎完全通過(guò)超現(xiàn)實(shí)的動(dòng)作捕捉技術(shù)來(lái)呈現(xiàn)的電影之一——以及傳達(dá)出的環(huán)保信息。

"Avatar" remains the?highest-grossing film of all time, earning more than $2.8 billion worldwide. (It was briefly dethroned by "Avengers: Endgame" until a theatrical re-release?helped it reclaim its top spot.)

《阿凡達(dá)》仍然是有史以來(lái)票房最高的電影，全球收入超過(guò)了28億美元。(它曾被《復(fù)仇者聯(lián)盟4：終局之戰(zhàn)》短暫取代了其地位，直到影院重映幫助它奪回了榜首位置。）

There are also three sequels planned for release after the premiere of "Way of Water."

在《水之道》首映之后，《阿凡達(dá)》系列還有三部續(xù)集計(jì)劃上映。
