Without too much regret, I can say that X-Men will be palatable¹ to fans and newbies alike. It’s not a great film, but it will probably follow the arc of the Superman and Batman movies -- tons of sequels of variable quality until an abrupt² and dismal³ end a decade later.
newbie：新手，新兵，这里指新迷上科幻电影的影迷

　　不带有过多的遗憾，可以说X-Men不论是对于老牌科幻影迷还是新近喜欢这类影片的人来说都将会是一道"美味佳肴"。它并非一部况世的电影，但它很有可能步"超人"和"蝙蝠侠"的后尘-在带给大家众多质量各异的续编直至数年之后才在瞬间黯然逝去。


　　The film is largely focused on introducing the very idea of the humanity having mutated to the point where various members of it find themselves endowed with superhuman abilities: telepathy, walking on water/through walls, regeneration, and the like are commonplace. As with most modes of difference, the mutants find themselves vilified⁴ by the public, and a Senator (Bruce Davison) launches a crusade to mandate⁵ "mutant registration⁶."
telepathy：心灵感应，感应能力，片中的变异人们都具有超凡的特异功能。
regeneration：重生，重建，起死回生

　　这部影片重点在于引入变异人这一特别的概念。他们中的大部分人发现自己被赋予超人的能力，心电感应、飞檐走壁、起死回生对他们来说再平常不过。由于与常人间各种各样的不同，变异人发现他们被公众所鄙夷，一位议员（Bruce Davison饰演）就发动了一场目的在于让变异人"注册"的运动。
