Another story is set in a future where people must pedal bikes in order to generate power for the world and earn money that they can spend only on food, skipping TV ads, other entertainment and to change their online avatar.

　　另一个故事架构于未来世界，在那里人们必须通过骑车发电来维持世界的运转，同时为自己赚取消费点数。这些“货币”只能用来够买食物、跳过电视广告、参加其他一些文娱活动以及更换自己的虚拟形象。

　　In the third and final episode of season two, which aired on Feb 27, a computer-generated character from a TV show is jokingly put forward to become a member of Parliament.

　　作为本季的收官之作，《黑镜子》第二季的第三集于2月27日播出。在这集中，一档电视节目中的虚拟人物仿佛开玩笑般地提出要竞选国会议员。

　　One of the joys of watching Black Mirror is that as an anthology series it changes its setting, characters and theme in each episode, always leaving viewers unsure about what to expect in the next installment.

　　观看《黑镜子》的乐趣之一就在于：像这样一部多段式剧集故事集，每集都会有着不同的故事背景、人物以及主题，观众永远不知道下一集会是什么内容。

　　But the series presents a world in which anything is possible thanks to technology — a hard, cold fact that is less joyous to digest.

　　而该剧却为人们呈现出一个“科技无所不能”的世界，这个严酷而不争的事实一时令人难以接受。

　　The stories, often through extreme situations, explore the human anxieties that surround technology: when we enjoy science but ignore morality, will we suffer a disaster?

　　这些故事往往通过极端的状况来探寻被科技包围的人们内心的焦虑：当我们享受科技而忽视道德时，我们是否在自掘坟墓?

　　Charlie Brooker, creator of the series, described Black Mirror as being about “the way we live now — and the way we might be living in 10 minutes’ time if we’re clumsy”.　　该剧的编剧查理布鲁克称《黑镜子》展现的就是“我们现在的生活方式——或者如果我们还是这样继续冥顽不灵的话，这将是我们十分钟后的生活方式。”

　　I’ve always enjoyed TV series and movies that make people think. Black Mirror is undoubtedly a thought-provoking experiment and a refreshing change from other programs on the schedule.

　　我一直很对这种发人深省的影视剧情有独钟。《黑镜子》无疑是一次引人深思的尝试，不同于同档的其他一些节目，令观众耳目一新！
