A 65-year-old man died in a cinema auditorium last week while watching a screening of horror movie The Conjuring 2。
上周,一名65岁男子在电影院看恐怖片《招魂2》时被吓死。
The incident occurred at the Sri Balasubramaniar Cinema in Tiruvannamalai, a town in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu。 The cinema-goer, from Andhra Pradesh, had complained of chest pains during the film’s climax, and fainted shortly afterwards。
这个事件发生在印度泰米尔纳德邦特鲁瓦纳马莱镇上的Sri Balasubramaniar电影院。这个从安德拉邦来的观影者,在影片达到高潮时称胸疼,不久就晕倒了。
He was rushed to the nearby Old Government Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead。 Medics ordered his body to be sent to the Tiruvannamalai Government Medical College Hospital for post-mortem but, according to the Times of India, the cadaver, and the person charged with transporting it, have both gone missing。
他被迅速送往附近的老政府医院,医生宣布已经死亡。医生命令将他的尸体送到特鲁瓦纳马莱政府医学院以验尸,然而,据印度时报报道,他的尸体,以及负责运输的那个人,双双失踪。
While there are no doubt rational explanations for both the man’s death and the disappearance of his body, the story has fuelled a wave of supernatural panic on social media that has accompanied the film’s release。
对于此人的死亡和他的尸体的消失,目前并没有合理的解释。同时,伴随着该片的上映,这个事件已经在社交媒体上激起了一波超自然恐慌情绪。
A video purporting to show a woman who ”got possessed while watching The Conjuring 2” has been viewed close to five million times since being uploaded to Facebook last week, with many viral news sites in South East Asia reporting the “possession” as fact。 However, the video in question is thought to have been filmed in 2013, long before the release of film。
一个声称某女人“看《招魂2》时被魔鬼附体”了的视频,自上周被上传到脸书后,浏览量已接近五百万次。南亚许多新闻网站报道这个附体的事是真的。然而,这个视频却被发现是在2013年拍摄的,距离该电影发行很久以前。
Another viral Facebook post, from Singaporean man Damian Ng Yih Leong, shows a “cross” on a hotel room mirror the man claimed to have found after watching The Conjuring 2, which he describes as “my first firsthand encounter with paranormal activity。”
另一个被大量转发的脸书网博文来自新加坡籍男子达米安,他展示了酒店房间镜子上的“十字”,据其称是在看完电影《招魂2》后发现的,被其描述为“我与灵异现象的第一次亲密接触”。
His post has been shared more than 2,700 at time of writing。 Whether or not it was posted sincerely, the film’s makers are no doubt cheering the extra attention these social media reports are generating for the film, which received a two-star review from the Telegraph’s underwhelmed film critic Robbie Collin。
他的这篇博文刚发出就被转发了2700多次。不管它是否真诚,社交媒体的报道对这部电影产生了额外关注,电影制作方对此无疑是欢呼的。每日电讯报对其失望的影评家罗比柯林斯仅给予《招魂2》两星的评价。
