《中英對照讀新聞》For Their Eyes Only： India board censors Bond’s kissing 他們的最高機密：印度委員會審查龐德的吻戲

◎顧佳欣

It’s the country that gave the world the Kama Sutra, but India’s notoriously prudish film board has ruled that long kissing scenes in the new James Bond movie "Spectre" are not suitable for Indian audiences.

這是給予世界「慾經」的國家，但印度惡名昭彰談性色變的電影委員會已經決議，最新詹姆士．龐德電影「惡魔四伏」中的纏綿親吻場景，並不適合印度觀眾。

The Mumbai-based Central Board of Film Certification （CBFC） has reined in the fictional British spy’s famously lusty romantic life by cutting the length of two passionate embrace scenes, its chairperson told AFP.

位於孟買的電影審查中央委員會（CBFC）把兩幕激情擁抱的場景刪短，掌控了這名虛構英國間諜聞名的精力充沛愛情生活，其主席告訴法新社。

"We have reduced them," CBFC head Pahlaj Nihalani said, referring to separate kissing scenes between Daniel Craig, who plays Bond, and his co-stars Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux.

CBFC主席帕拉吉．尼哈拉尼說，「我們已經剪掉一些。」指的是飾演龐德的丹尼爾．克雷格與共同演出的莫妮卡．貝露琪與莉亞．瑟杜分別的吻戲。

Nihalani said the film had been given an unrestricted adult rating, which means parental guidance is required for children under 12 years old.

尼哈拉尼表示，該電影為普遍成人級，代表12歲以下的孩童需由父母陪同觀賞。

Earlier this year the CBFC blocked the release of "Fifty Shades of Grey" in India, despite being shown a toned-down version of the erotic movie.

今年稍早，CBFC禁止「格雷的五十道陰影」在印度上映，儘管CBFC收到的是該情慾電影的低調版本。
