The Marvel Cinematic Universe has produced so many hits, but what is the best?

Marvel Cinematic Universe：漫威电影宇宙，cinematic [.sɪnə'mætɪk] 电影的

produced so many hits：获得多次成功。hit作名词解释，可以表示轰动一时,盛极一时;获得极大成功【词组积累】

漫威电影宇宙获得这么多次成功，但最好的是哪一部呢？

Regardless of having debates about which film trumps the others, Disney CEO Bob Iger hasrevealed which Marvel Comics adaptation he is personally the most proud of. In his memoir Ride of A Lifetime, as shown via ComicBook.com, Iger writes: "There may be no product we've ever created that I’m more proud of than Black Panther."

Regardless of：不管，不理会

trump：胜过，one trumps the others，其中一个胜过其他人，也可以用这个表述来表达其中一个是最好的。即one trumps the others = one is the best这个新词可以和特朗普联系在一起【词汇积累】

reveal：揭露

memoir：自传['mem.wɑr]，记忆方式memo是备忘录的意思，加ir即自传。

There may be no product we've ever created that I’m more proud of than Black Panther：我们所创造的作品中，可能没有其他作品能比黑豹还要让我骄傲。这里有两个定语从句。首先，句子主干为there may be no product没有这样的作品，that引导出定语从句修饰product：that I’m more proud of than Black Panther. 即没有作品比黑豹更让我骄傲，这里的that作I’m more proud of 的宾语，本来是可以省略的。但中间又插入一个we’ve ever created，这也是定语从句修饰product：即我们曾经创作的作品，that是作create的宾语，因为that作宾语成分可以省略，但是当出现两个宾语从句时，后面的that不可以省略，故本句仍保留了一个that。

编写：当你拥有一件曾经拥有过最珍贵的东西时，可以模仿本句：There may be no product I’ve ever had that is more precious than this gift. 【句式】

先不管争论哪部电影最好这个问题，迪士尼的CEO Bob·Iger 揭露了他个人最骄傲的漫威漫画改编电影。在他发表于ComicBook.com的自传Ride of A Lifetime中，Iger写道：“我们所创造的作品中，可能没有其他作品能比黑豹还要让我骄傲。”

He goes on to explain: "The experience of watching Black Panther with the crowd of people thatpacked the Dolby Theatre for the premiere will remain one of the most memorable moments of my career." "Until then, I’d only seen it during screenings at my house or with a small group at the studio. I knew we had something special, but you’re never quite sure how something is going to be received. Still, I couldn’t wait to share it with the world, and to see and feel their reaction to it." "That night the energy in the room was electric long before the lights went down. You could feel the anticipation that something unprecedented was about to happen, something historic, and the film more than exceeded those expectations."

goes on to：接着继续做某事

the crowd of people：这一大群人，可以表达为a crowd of people一大群人这里的the是因为特指那些和Iger一起看首映的人们

packed the Dolby Theatre for the premiere：pack在这里是挤进，塞进的意思，pack the theater即电影院里坐满了人【搭配】

memorable：值得纪念的，值得回忆的

Until then, I’d only seen：until then是知道那时，是一段时间段，又是过去的时间，所以后面用I had only seen过去完成时态。

screening：放映，the screening of the film这场电影的放映【熟词僻义】

couldn’t wait to do：忍不住去做

electric：the energy in the room is electric，energy有精力活力的意思，electric有令人激动的，充满刺激的，所以这里形容人们充满了激情活力【搭配】

long before：很久之前，before long则是不久之后

You could feel the anticipation that……：你可以预感到……【句式】

the film more than exceeded those expectations：这部电影远超那些期待【句式】

他接着解释道：“与一大群人坐满Dolby电影院观看黑豹将会是我职业生涯最值得记忆的瞬间之一。直到那时，在该片上映的期间，我只在我家或者和一小群人在工作室看过。我知道我们的电影很特别，但你永远不会知道它是如何被接受的。但是，我忍不住想去和世界分享，并亲眼去看和感受他们的反应。那个夜晚，银屏黯淡很久之前，观影室内就充满了热情活力。你可以预感到一些前所未有的事将会发生，是具有历史性的。

Iger also spoke in his memoirs about how he helped to remove the obstacles to making Black Panther and the first MCU female-fronted movie Captain Marvel. "I've been in the business long enough to have heard every old argument in the book, and I've learned that old arguments are just that: old, and out of step with where the world is and where it should be." "We had a chance to make a great movie and to showcase an underrepresented segment of America, and those goals were not mutually exclusive. I called Ike and told him to tell his team to stop putting up roadblocks and ordered that we put both Black Panther and Captain Marvel into production." Both films will be getting sequels, with Black Panther 2 slated for release on May 6, 2022. Captain Marvel 2 does not have a confirmed release date.

female-fronted：以女性为主的

out of step with where the world is and where it should be：与目前的世界和将来的世界不合拍，out of step不协调，不合拍【词组积累】

showcase：展示

an underrepresented segment of America：美国没有足够关注的一部分人，underrepresented groups do not have enough people with power to speak for them or to help them，所以underrepresented可以表示没有足够关注，得不到帮助的意思， a segment of表示一部分【词组积累】

mutually exclusive：相互排斥【词组积累】

put sth into production：把……投入生产，这里指开始制作电影【词组积累】

get sequels：将有续集

slated for release on May 6, 2022：slate有预定，计划的意思，所以slate for release on May 6表示预计在2022.5.6上映【词组积累】

Iger在他的自传里也写到关于他如何帮助制作黑豹和漫威第一个女性英雄惊奇队长移除障碍，“我已经在这个行业里面呆得够久了，因此听过了每一个老掉牙的争论，而我也了解到，每个老掉牙的争论都是：老套，而与这个世界是怎么样以及应该是怎么样显得不合时宜。”“我们有机会制作好的电影，并展现美国那些得不到足够帮助和关注的人，而这些目标并不相互排斥。”我打给Ike并告诉他不要再设阻，并要求我们一起制作黑豹和惊奇队长。两部电影都将会有续集，黑豹2将于2022年5.6日上映，而惊奇队长2没有确切的上映时间。
