plot:

Wladyslaw Szpilman was known as the most accomplished6 piano player in all of Poland, if not Europe, in the 1930s. At the outbreak of the Second World War, however, Szpilman becomes subject to the anti-Jewish laws imposed by the conquering Germans.

情节:

瓦拉迪斯劳·斯普尔曼是20世纪30年代在欧洲,至少是在整个波兰声名显赫的钢琴家。然而,二战爆发后,他受制于德国入侵波兰后颁布的反犹太人法律。

By the start of the 1940s, Szpilman has seen his world go from piano concert halls to the Jewish Ghetto of Warsaw and then must suffer the tragedy of his family deported7 to a German concentration camps, while Szpilman is conscripted8 into a forced German Labor Compound.

20世纪40年代伊始,斯普尔曼失去了每天在钢琴音乐会大厅的生活去了华沙(波兰首都)的犹太社区,后来他的家人被禁锢在德国的集中营中,而他自己被强征到德国一个建筑工地做劳工。

Living in fear and survival guilt, he encounters9 many near-death experiences and must rely on the courage of others to stay alive. Enthralled10 by the pianists ability, one such model was Nazi Captain Wilm Hosenfeld who fed and kept his existence a secret.

斯普尔曼在集中营中饱受恐惧和饥饿的折磨,整日处在死亡的威胁下,必须依靠他人的帮助才得以存活。后来一位德国军官威尔姆·欧森菲德被他的音乐才华所感动,一直暗暗保护着斯普尔曼。

The Second World War eventually broke down and The Pianists main character would become a successful musician.

最后,二战终于结束了,而斯普尔曼成为了一名成功的音乐家。
