Hit man

12月12日，美國電影學會（AFI）公布了2004年十大最佳影片名單，《蜘蛛俠Ⅱ》和《超人特攻隊》名列榜首。外電報道如下：The superhero adventures "Spider-Man 2" and "The Incredibles" made the American Film Institute's list of 2004's top 10 movies. Also on the list released Sunday were the not-yet-released Howard Hughes film biography "The Aviator" and boxing drama "Million Dollar Baby." Rounding out the group's list, which did not rank the films, were the hit-man thriller "Collateral"; the quirky romances "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "Sideways"; the football drama "Friday Night Lights"; the drug-smuggling drama "Maria Full of Grace"; and "Kinsey," a film biography of sexuality researcher Alfred Kinsey. The institute's top 10 television programs of the year were HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Deadwood," "The Sopranos" and "Something the Lord Made," ABC's "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost," FX's "Nip/Tuck" and "The Shield," Fox's "Arrested Development" and Comedy Central's "South Park." 其中影片《借刀殺人》（Collateral）圍繞一個聲名狼藉的跨國販毒集團的暗殺行動展開故事，電影明星湯姆·克魯斯在片中飾一名冷酷無情的職業殺手。Hit man表示“殺手”，特指受雇于犯罪組織的職業殺手，此外還有“受雇寫謾罵文章的人”的含義。 （中國日報網站編）
