化為六月息

~~~~~~ 譯文初稿 ~~~~~~

鼓舞人心的喜劇片《到葉門釣鮭魚(Salmon Fishing in the Yemen)》，由電影《濃情巧克力(Chocolat)》導演及《貧民百萬富翁(Slumdog Millionaire)》編劇聯手打造。片中伊旺麥奎格(Ewan McGregor)所飾演的英國籍漁業專家，在顧問的協助下，前往了解一名酋長對於把釣魚運動引進沙漠地區的想法，很快的，他便認識到這是一個荒謬且無法達成的計畫。不過，一位過度熱心的首相新聞秘書，認為這是一篇相當友好的報導，在她的〝弄拙成巧〞下，漁業團隊必須順利達成這個不可能的任務。

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

From the director of Chocolat and the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire comes the inspirational comedy Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. When Britain's leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) is approached by a consultant (Emily Blunt) to help realize a sheikh's (Amr Waked) vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert, he immediately thinks the project is both absurd and unachievable. But when the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on to it as a "good will" story, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.
