UNLIKE many recent political documentaries, “An Inconvenient Truth” does not a_________① its fiercest fire at George Bush. （1）Surprising this, especially as the film stars Al Gore, the man whom President Bush ★narrowly [1] beat to the White House in 2000. Instead, Davis Guggenheim, the film’s director, tries to rise above American politics, addressing his film, which is to be shown at the Cannes film festival 2 later this month, to the whole of the human race.
《難以忽視的真相》并不像許多政治題材的紀錄片那樣，將最猛烈的炮火對準喬治•布什。尤為令人感到意外的是，這部電影的領(lǐng)銜主演竟然是曾在2000年惜敗于布什總統(tǒng)的阿爾•戈爾。導(dǎo)演戴維斯•古根漢姆力圖超越美國政治，將這部即將于本月下旬在戛納電影節(jié)上映的影片視角定位到整個人類。（譯者按："as the film stars Al Gore"中的"star"不是名詞“明星”之意，而是作動詞用，表示“以……為主演”）
（2）Mr Guggenheim’s film is a fascinating and alarming ★polemic[2] that does, indeed, set out to speak to everyone. It was inspired by the lectures and slide-show on global warming that Mr Gore has d__________② more than 1,000 times since he failed to become president. The former vice-president is shown talking about what he calls “our planetary emergency” to groups of concerned Americans, displaying the relaxed charm and sense of humour that he notably lacked as a political campaigner.
古根漢姆的影片就像一場精彩、驚人的辯論，而且其開場白的確也是說給每個人聽的。戈爾競選總統(tǒng)失敗后，不止1000次發(fā)表過關(guān)于全球氣候變暖的演說，該片正是從中受到啟發(fā)。片中，這位前任美國副總統(tǒng)對許許多多憂慮的美國人談到了他所謂的“我們星球的突發(fā)事件”，展現(xiàn)出過去身為一名參加競選的政治家所不具有的得體儀態(tài)和幽默感。
