The 68th Festival de Cannes opened Wednesday in France. Many in the movie-making business consider the 12-day event to be the most important film festival in the world. A director's career can soar after winning the festival's top prize, the famed Palme d'Or.
第68届戛纳电影节于周三在法国揭幕。许多电影制作业内人士都将这场为期12天的盛事视为全球最为重要的电影节。在赢得该电影节最高奖项金棕榈奖之后，导演的事业就能一飞冲天。
Just having a movie entered in the festival can mean more money, respect and possibilities for actors, producers and other industry workers.
对演员、制片人等从业人士来说，只要有电影入围该电影节，就意味着更多收入、尊重和机遇。
Hundreds of thousands of people visit the seaside town during the international film festival. There are thousands of movies to see.
在这次国际电影节期间，成千上万人到访这座海滨小镇。这里有数千场电影可以看。
The French film, "La Tete Haute," opened this year's festival. Its English title is "Standing Tall." The movie features a new actor, 17-year-old Rod Paradot. He plays the part of a troubled, violent boy who faces the youth detention system again and again. Paradot stars in the film with French movie legend Catherine Deneuve. She plays a caring judge who tries to save the boy.
今年的电影节以法国电影《昂首挺胸》（La Tete Haute）揭开帷幕。这部电影的英文名是《Standing Tall》。该电影以17岁的新人罗德·帕拉多特（Rod Paradot）为主角。他扮演的角色是一位屡次面临青年拘留制度的麻烦多多的暴力男孩。帕拉多特同法国电影传奇人物凯瑟琳·德纳芙（Catherine Deneuve）一同担纲主演。德纳芙扮演了一位试图挽救该男孩的充满爱心的法官。
Filmmaker Emmanuelle Bercot directed "La Tete Haute." It is just the second film from a woman director to open the "Festival de Cannes."

A reminder of terrorist attack at festival
警惕电影节遭遇恐怖袭击
An ugly cartoon drawing of Catherine Deneuve at Cannes was the cover of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo this week. The cartoon made fun of the 71-year-old actress' weight and the strong security presence at the festival.
法国讽刺杂志查理周刊本周的封面是一副描绘凯瑟琳·德纳芙（Catherine Deneuve）参加戛纳电影节的丑陋卡通漫画。这幅卡通画取笑了这位71岁女演员的体重和戛纳电影节上的戒备森严。
Deneuve seemed to deal with the insult with ease. "I hope it's funny," she said, "Even if it's nasty."
德纳芙似乎轻松化解了这一羞辱。“哪怕它让人厌烦，我也希望它能很有趣。”
The deadly attack by Muslim extremists on Charlie Hebdo's Paris office in January influenced security plans at Cannes. There is always a strong police presence at the festival as it attracts the rich and, as a result, thieves.
一月份穆斯林极端分子对查理周刊巴黎办事处发动的致命袭击影响了戛纳电影节的安保计划。在这样一个既吸引富人也吸引盗贼的节日里总会部署强大警力。
But, this year, increased fears of terrorism led to expanded security. Hundreds of local and national police, riot forces, and other agents are on guard. Hundreds of video cameras are also in place.
但是今年，对恐怖主义担忧的增长使得安保被扩大。数百名地方和国家警察、防暴队以及其它人员时刻警惕。数百台摄像机也已安装到位。
And the glitter
星光闪耀
As always, the press is taking pictures and providing commentary on the comings and goings of the stars. Salma Hayek met with the press in a sleek black and red dress by designer Alexander McQueen.
与往常一样，记者们拍下明星的一举一动并做实况报道。萨尔玛·海耶克（Salma Hayek）身着由设计师亚历山大·麦昆（Alexander McQueen）设计的一套造型优美的红黑相间的礼服会见了记者。
Hayek is at Cannes to support her new film "Tale of Tales." Matteo Garrone directed the movie, which is based on 17th century Italian fairy tales. It is one of 18 films competing for this year's Palme d'Or.
海耶克参加戛纳电影节是为了支持她的新作《故事的故事》《Tale Of Tales》。马提欧·加洛尼（Matteo Garrone）导演了这部基于17世纪意大利童话的电影。这是角逐今年金棕榈奖的18部电影之一。
Cast member John C. Reilly also met with the press for "Tale of Tales." He dressed for the seaside in a summery suit and hat. Reilly is also in two other films being presented at the Festival de Cannes.
剧组成员约翰·C·莱利（John C. Reilly）也会见了报道《故事的故事》的记者。他穿戴着去海边的夏日衣帽。莱利还参演了另外两部戛纳电影节的提名影片。
Last year, the Palme d'Or went to the Turkish film, "Winter Sleep." This year, who knows? But two directors with a winning history are co-presidents of the 2015 Cannes prize jury. American brothers Joel and Ethan Coen won the Palme d'Or in 1991 for their film "Barton Fink." Their movie "Inside Llewyn Davis" won Cannes' second prize, the Grand Prix, in 2013.
去年，金棕榈奖被土耳其电影《冬眠》夺走。今年会是谁呢？两位获奖导演担任了2015年戛纳电影节评委会的联合主席。美国科恩兄弟乔尔和伊桑(Joel and Ethan Coen)1991年凭借他们的电影《巴顿芬克》赢得金棕榈奖。他们的电影《醉乡民谣》赢得了2013年戛纳电影节第二大奖项评审团大奖。
