Nezha Making Trouble in the Sea
A long, long time ago, after Lady Li, the wife of Li Jing, the general of Chentangguan, was pregnant for three years and six months, she gave birth to a meat ball. Li Jing was greatly shocked and thought it was a monster. Just as he was about to split it open with his sword, suddenly the meat ball shone brightly, and a lovely little boy jumped out from it. He was Nezha.
Nezha was clever and extremely strong since he was a child. He had two treasures, one was the Hun Tian Ling (a magic silk ribbon), and the other was the Qian Kun Ring (a magic ring).
One day, it was very hot, and Nezha came to the East Sea to take a bath. He took out the Hun Tian Ling and gently stirred it in the water. Immediately, the sea was in a turmoil. The Dragon Palace in the East Sea was greatly disturbed, and the Dragon King sent a sea demon to check.
The sea demon came to the sea surface and saw Nezha taking a bath. He shouted angrily, "You little kid, why are you making trouble here and disturbing the peace of the Dragon Palace?"
Nezha was not afraid at all and replied, "I'm just taking a bath. How am I making trouble? You ugly monster, don't meddle in other people's business here!" The sea demon was furious when he heard this and stabbed Nezha with his steel trident.
Nezha was quick-eyed and agile. He gently blocked the sea demon's steel trident with the Qian Kun Ring and sent it flying. Then, he smashed the Qian Kun Ring towards the sea demon,and the sea demon died on the spot.
When the Dragon King learned that the sea demon was killed, he was very angry and sent his third son, Ao Bing, to arrest Nezha.
Ao Bing came to the sea surface with his shrimp soldiers and crab generals. When he saw Nezha, without saying a word, he brandished his long spear and stabbed at Nezha.
Nezha did not flinch and engaged in a fierce battle with Ao Bing.
The Hun Tian Ling and the Qian Kun Ring flew up and down in his hands, with great power.
Ao Bing gradually couldn't resist and wanted to transform into his original form and escape.
How could Nezha let him go? He stepped on the Wind Fire Wheels and quickly caught up with Ao Bing, beat him until he revealed his original form, and even pulled out his dragon tendon.
When the Dragon King learned that his third son was killed, he was heartbroken. He came to Chentangguan and demanded that Li Jing hand over Nezha, or he would flood Chentangguan.
In order not to implicate the common people and his family, Nezha bravely stepped forward and committed suicide in grief.
Later, Taiyi Zhenren used lotus flowers and fresh lotus roots to reshape Nezha's body, allowing him to be reborn.
After being reborn, Nezha was even braver and more powerful. He held a fire-tipped spear in his hand and stepped on the Wind Fire Wheels, and launched a thrilling battle with the Dragon King. Finally, he defeated the Dragon King and rid the people of harm.
Since then, Nezha's heroic deeds have been widely spread among the people.
哪吒闹海
在很久很久以前,陈塘关总兵李靖的夫人怀胎三年零六个月后,生下了一个肉球。李靖大惊,以为是妖怪,正要用剑劈开,突然肉球光芒四射,从中跳出一个可爱的小男孩,他就是哪吒。
哪吒从小就聪明伶俐,且力大无穷。他有两件宝物,一件是混天绫,另一件是乾坤圈。
有一天,天气炎热,哪吒来到东海边洗澡。他拿出混天绫在水中轻轻一搅,顿时海面波涛汹涌。东海龙宫被搅得不得安宁,龙王派夜叉去查看。
夜叉来到海面,看到哪吒在洗澡,便大声呵斥:“你这小孩,为何在此捣乱,搅得龙宫不得安宁?”
哪吒毫不畏惧,回应道:“我不过是在洗澡,怎么就捣乱了?你这丑八怪,少在这里多管闲事!” 夜叉听后大怒,举起钢叉就刺向哪吒。
哪吒眼疾手快,用乾坤圈轻轻一挡,就把夜叉的钢叉震飞了。接着,他又用乾坤圈砸向夜叉,夜叉当场毙命。
龙王得知夜叉被杀,十分愤怒,派他的三太子敖丙前去捉拿哪吒。
敖丙带着虾兵蟹将来到海面,看到哪吒后,二话不说,就挥舞着长枪刺向哪吒。
哪吒毫不退缩,与敖丙展开了激烈的战斗。
混天绫和乾坤圈在他手中上下翻飞,威力巨大。
敖丙渐渐不敌,便想化作原形逃走。
哪吒哪会放过他,他脚踏风火轮,迅速追上敖丙,将他打得现了原形,还抽了他的龙筋。
龙王得知三太子被杀,悲痛欲绝,他来到陈塘关,要李靖交出哪吒,否则就水淹陈塘关。
哪吒为了不连累百姓和家人,挺身而出,悲愤自刎。
后来,太乙真人用莲花和鲜藕为哪吒重塑了身体,使他得以重生。
重生后的哪吒更加勇敢强大,他手持火尖枪,脚踏风火轮,与龙王展开了一场惊心动魄的大战,最终打败了龙王,为民除害。
从此,哪吒的英勇事迹在民间广为流传。

China's animated blockbuster smashed box office records at home.
Now it's hitting Western cinemas
An unruly Chinese boy who battles dragons and defies destiny has made his way to Western cinema screens after smashing box office records in China.
“Ne Zha 2,” an animated blockbuster loosely based on Chinese mythology, is now the world’s highest-grossing movie of all time in a single market, racking up a staggering $1.4 billion in ticket sales in China since its January 29 release.
It dwarfs the previous record held by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which netted $936 million in the United States and Canada in 2015. The Chinese production is also the first non-Hollywood film to break into the all-time global top 20 of highest-grossing films.
The phenomenal success of “Ne Zha 2”–a rare bright spot in China’s otherwise sluggish box office amid a struggling economy–has sparked a wave of national pride and jubilation, with audiences, state media and officials rushing to celebrate the landmark achievement.
For decades, China’s movie market had been dominated by Hollywood blockbusters. But in recent years, homegrown titles – in genres from action and sci-fi to romance and animation–have increasingly outpaced Western films, a pivot fueled by rising cultural pride, more sophisticated storytelling and rapid technological progress.
And as censorship tightens and geopolitical tensions with the United States flare, it’s become all the more difficult for Hollywood to navigate political landmines in the once-lucrative market.
China’s domestic film industry has pounced on the opportunity. Animation rooted in traditional Chinese folklore, enhanced with state-of-the-art special effects, has proven to be a winning formula.
For a new generation of Chinese filmmakers and audiences, the reasoning is clear: If China’s own talent can deliver high-quality adaptions of the legends they grew up with, why rely on Western studios to tell Chinese stories?
Following its record-breaking run in China, “Ne Zha 2” has headed overseas, with wide releases in Australia and New Zealand on Thursday and North America on Friday. It became an instant hit among the Chinese diaspora – many rushed to snap up presale tickets days in advance and lined up for its premieres.
As “Ne Zha 2” box office receipts surpassed Hollywood classics one after another, Chinese moviegoers rallied to support the film and push its ticket sales to new heights.
On Chinese social media, users called on each other to hit the cinema – and even watch it multiple times. A trending hashtag on microblogging site Weibo compared the film’s rise through global box office ranks to “raising the national flag.”
On Thursday night, the film hit a landmark 10 billion yuan ($1.37 billion) in ticket sales, overtaking “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” to become the third-highest-grossing animated film ever, just behind “Frozen 2.”

中国的动画大片在国内打破了票房纪录
如今,它正在冲击西方的电影院
一个与龙搏斗、反抗命运的不羁中国男孩,在打破中国票房纪录后,登上了西方大荧幕。
《哪吒2》改编自中国神话故事,自 1 月 29 日上映以来,电影票房高达 14 亿美元,问鼎全球单一市场票房冠军宝座。
它不但打破了《星球大战:原力觉醒》于2015年在美国和加拿大创造的9.36亿美元票房纪录,而且还是首部跻身全球影史票房前20榜单的非好莱坞电影。
经济不景气,票房也低迷,《哪吒2》却是这困境里的一道曙光。它的巨大成功不但点燃了民族情怀,还引发了全民狂欢。观众、官媒以及官员都纷纷庆祝《哪吒2》创造中国电影里程牌。
几十年来,好莱坞大片在中国市场一枝独秀。近年来,包括动作片、科幻片、爱情片、动画在内的各种题材国产电影全面爆发,远超西方电影。这一改变源自文化自豪感的提升、错综复杂的叙事能力以及迅猛发展的技术。
随着审查制度的收紧和中美地缘政治局势的加剧,对好莱坞来说,如何在这个曾经利润丰厚的市场上避开政治红线,变得困难重重。
中国国产电影立即抓住了这一良机。以民间传说为蓝本,辅以最先进的特效,这便是动画制作的成功模板。
对于新一代中国电影人和观众来说,这一模式之所以能成功,原因一目了然。如果中国人自己能把耳熟能详的神话故事改编成一流作品,何须仰仗西方电影公司来制作中国故事呢?
继在中国创下票房纪录后,《哪吒2》已进军海外,周四在澳大利亚和新西兰热火上映,周五在北美上映。一经亮相,《哪吒2》在海外华人圈立刻引起轰动——许多人提前N天就疯抢预售票,排队观看首映。
随着《哪吒2》票房接连超越一部又一部好莱坞经典电影,中国影迷纷纷群起支持该片,又将票房推向新高。
在中国社交平台上,用户们互相呼吁去观影——甚至N刷。微博一热搜话题将该片爬榜全球票房排名比作“升国旗”。
截至周四晚上,票房破百亿大关(13.7亿美元),超越《超级马里奥兄弟大电影》,成为全球动画排行榜季军,仅次于《冰雪奇缘2》。
【词汇积累】
1.smash常见的意思是粉碎、摧毁。它还有一个意思是打破(记录)。
2.based loosely on大致基于,但是在具体语境中,我们可以说改编自。
3.rack up (sth)累计。
4.dwarf常见的意思是小矮人,当它做动词的时候,是使显得矮小,所以当我们想表达超越的意思时,除了surpass, outpace, exceed,还可以用 dwarf。一般的固定搭配是 dwarf by。
5.sluggish常见的意思是缓慢的、迟钝的。缓慢的经济或是缓慢的票房,在这里是经济不景气,票房低的意思。
6.struggling苦苦挣扎,一下子让人就感受到了经济的不景气。
Passage 2

Seeing China's rise through the success of Ne Zha
With the success of Ne Zha 1 (2019), domestic animated films have entered a new golden age, and Chinese animation has made remarkable progress! In 2025, Ne Zha 2 is recording a strong box office performance, becoming the highest-grossing animated film globally, which not only represents the rise of China's animation industry in terms of technology but also conveys several important messages to the world.
In the past, Chinese animation was often seen as products for a younger audience, with technical standards and narrative abilities that struggled to compete with Hollywood or Japanese animation. However, Ne Zha 2 continues the high quality of its predecessor, showcasing visual effects, character development, and depth of storyline that demonstrate the maturity of the industrialization process in Chinese animation, as well as its ability to compete with international animation giants. This means that Chinese animation is no longer merely a "learner", but an "innovator" capable of independent creation and trend-setting.
Additionally, Ne Zha 2 reinterprets traditional culture from a modern perspective, making it more aligned with contemporary audiences' aesthetics and values. This innovation not only resonates with domestic viewers but also attracts overseas markets' interest in Chinese mythology. With the enhancement of China's cultural soft power, domestic animation, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and others are gradually becoming new vehicles for cultural export, helping Chinese stories reach the world.
As of the time of writing, Ne Zha 2 has already made 13.7 billion yuan in global box office! Of that, the overseas box office accounts for only 115 million. This indicates that China has become one of the largest film markets globally and ranks first in the world for single film markets. With a population of 1.4 billion, China truly holds immense potential. Observing the rapid development of the country, the world is eager to have a share in this enormous market.
Even international stars such as Blackpink's Jennie are recently filming in Mandarin to penetrate the Xiaohongshu and Douyin markets, focusing on the mainland market. Furthermore, foreign interest in China's soft culture and tourism is growing.
The box office success of Ne Zha 2 tells the world that even if products from other countries are suppressed and unable to be screened or sold, relying solely on the Chinese market is already substantial enough to stand on its own. Currently, many European countries still do not have the opportunity to screen Ne Zha 2, yet Chinese communities in Europe are even organizing trips to Greece to watch it! Many netizens are posting complaints about the indefinite delay in screenings. If given the chance, the box office would far exceed current figures.
The rise of Ne Zha 2 symbolizes the comprehensive enhancement of Chinese animation from technology to culture, from market to international influence. This is not only a significant breakthrough for Chinese animation but also signifies that in the future Chinese animation will occupy a more important position in the global market, becoming an undeniable force in the world animation industry.

《哪吒2》:成功背后的中国崛起之路
随着《哪吒之魔童降世》(2019)的成功,国产动画电影进入了一个新的黄金时代,中国动画取得了显著进展!到2025年,《哪吒2》正在创下强劲的票房成绩,成为全球票房最高的动画电影,这不仅代表着中国动画产业在技术上的崛起,还向世界传递了几个重要信息。
过去,中国动画常被视为面向年轻观众的产品,其技术标准和叙事能力常常难以与好莱坞或日本动画竞争。然而,《哪吒2》延续了前作的高质量,展示了视觉效果、人物发展和故事深度,体现了中国动画产业化过程的成熟度,以及与国际动画巨头竞争的能力。这意味着,中国动画不再仅仅是一个“学习者”,而是一个能够独立创造和引领潮流的“创新者”。
此外,《哪吒2》从现代视角重新诠释了传统文化,使其更加贴近当代观众的审美和价值观。这种创新不仅与国内观众产生共鸣,也吸引了海外市场对中国神话的兴趣。随着中国文化软实力的提升,国产动画、抖音、小红书等平台逐渐成为新的文化出口载体,帮助中国故事走向世界。
截至写作时,《哪吒2》全球票房已达137亿元人民币!其中,海外票房仅为1.15亿元。这表明,中国已经成为全球最大的电影市场之一,并且在单片市场上排名世界第一。凭借14亿人口,中国确实拥有巨大的潜力。随着国家快速发展的步伐,世界各国也迫切希望在这一庞大市场中分一杯羹。
即使是像BLACKPINK的Jennie这样的国际明星,最近也在拍摄普通话作品,试图渗透小红书和抖音市场,专注于中国大陆市场。此外,外国对中国软文化和旅游的兴趣也在不断增长。
《哪吒2》的票房成功告诉世界,即使其他国家的产品受到压制,无法上映或销售,仅依靠中国市场已经足够强大,可以独立发展。目前,许多欧洲国家仍未能上映《哪吒2》,但欧洲的华人社区甚至组织去希腊观看!许多网友纷纷抱怨影片上映的时间被无限期推迟。如果有机会,其票房将远远超过目前的数字。
《哪吒2》的崛起象征着中国动画从技术到文化,从市场到国际影响力的全面提升。这不仅是中国动画的一个重大突破,也意味着未来中国动画将在全球市场占据更加重要的位置,成为世界动画产业中不可忽视的力量。

The animated film Ne Zha 2 , released in January 2025, has become a cultural icon in Chinese cinema. Directed by Jiaozi, it continues the journey of Ne Zha and Ao Bing, two mythological heroes who survived the “Heavenly Tribulation” (天劫) — a cosmic disaster threatening both humans and gods. Though their souls were saved by the immortal Taiyi Zhenren using a magical lotus, their physical bodies remain unstable. Taiyi must now rebuild their bodies with limited resources while overcoming unexpected obstacles.
The film’s core lies in character growth. Ne Zha, once known for his rebellion, learns to value friendship and self-acceptance. His companion Ao Bing, who once struggled with inner conflicts, transforms into a decisive leader. In a pivotal scene, Ao Bing declares, “If there’s no path, I’ll create one!” — a line symbolizing courage against adversity.
Visually, Ne Zha 2 blends traditional Chinese aesthetics (美学) with modern technology. It opens with breathtaking scenes: rivers of lava and giant sea monsters leaping from stormy waves. Later, the story shifts to Kunlun Mountain, a mythical realm with glowing forests and celestial beings. The climax features a battle using the Tianyuan Ding, a shape-shifting weapon, accompanied by fast-paced action and striking.
Beyond entertainment, the film explores universal values: bravery, justice, and loyalty. These themes resonate across generations, contributing to its record-breaking box office (票房) success and an 8.6/10 rating on review platforms. Critics praise its creative integration of cultural heritage and modern storytelling.

1.released 3.who 4.a 4.to rebuild 5.growth 6.to 7.Visually 8.weapons 9.has broken 10.inspiring
【导语】本文是新闻报道。这篇文章是对动画电影《哪吒2》的介绍和影评,详细描述了电影的内容、角色发展、视觉效果以及电影所传达的主题和受众反响。
1.考查非谓语动词。句意:动画电影《哪吒2》于2025年1月29日上映,在电影界取得了巨大成功。本句已有谓语动词has become,所以release用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语Ne Zha 2之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填released。
2.考查定语从句。句意:该片由饺子(杨宇)执导,讲述了哪吒和敖丙在“天劫”中幸存下来却失去了肉体的故事。空处引导非限定性定语从句,先行词是Ne Zha and Ao Bing,在从句中作主语,用who引导。故填who。
3.考查冠词。句意:他们的灵魂被一位名叫太乙真人的仙人用神奇的七色宝莲拯救了。wise immortal意为“仙人”,为可数名词,句中用的单数,前应用不定冠词修饰,wise为辅音音素开头,用a修饰。故填a。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,他们的灵魂开始再次消失,迫使太乙真人在克服挑战的同时重建他们的身体。此处是固定搭配:force sb. to do sth.意为“强迫某人做某事”。故填to rebuild。
5.考查名词。句意:影片展现了显著的角色成长之路:哪吒从一个叛逆的人物成长为一个深切关心朋友、了解真实自我的人,而敖丙则转变为一个勇敢的战士,并宣称:“如果没有路,我就创造一条!”本句缺少宾语,所以空处应填名词作宾语,grow的名词形式是growth,和character构成名词短语character growth意为“角色成长”。故填growth。

Nezha Making Trouble in the Sea
A long, long time ago, after Lady Li, the wife of Li Jing, the general of Chentangguan, was pregnant for three years and six months, she gave birth to a meat ball. Li Jing was greatly shocked and thought it was a monster. Just as he was about to split it open with his sword, suddenly the meat ball shone brightly, and a lovely little boy jumped out from it. He was Nezha.
Nezha was clever and extremely strong since he was a child. He had two treasures, one was the Hun Tian Ling (a magic silk ribbon), and the other was the Qian Kun Ring (a magic ring).
One day, it was very hot, and Nezha came to the East Sea to take a bath. He took out the Hun Tian Ling and gently stirred it in the water. Immediately, the sea was in a turmoil. The Dragon Palace in the East Sea was greatly disturbed, and the Dragon King sent a sea demon to check.
The sea demon came to the sea surface and saw Nezha taking a bath. He shouted angrily, "You little kid, why are you making trouble here and disturbing the peace of the Dragon Palace?"
Nezha was not afraid at all and replied, "I'm just taking a bath. How am I making trouble? You ugly monster, don't meddle in other people's business here!" The sea demon was furious when he heard this and stabbed Nezha with his steel trident.
Nezha was quick-eyed and agile. He gently blocked the sea demon's steel trident with the Qian Kun Ring and sent it flying. Then, he smashed the Qian Kun Ring towards the sea demon,and the sea demon died on the spot.
When the Dragon King learned that the sea demon was killed, he was very angry and sent his third son, Ao Bing, to arrest Nezha.
Ao Bing came to the sea surface with his shrimp soldiers and crab generals. When he saw Nezha, without saying a word, he brandished his long spear and stabbed at Nezha.
Nezha did not flinch and engaged in a fierce battle with Ao Bing.
The Hun Tian Ling and the Qian Kun Ring flew up and down in his hands, with great power.
Ao Bing gradually couldn't resist and wanted to transform into his original form and escape.
How could Nezha let him go? He stepped on the Wind Fire Wheels and quickly caught up with Ao Bing, beat him until he revealed his original form, and even pulled out his dragon tendon.
When the Dragon King learned that his third son was killed, he was heartbroken. He came to Chentangguan and demanded that Li Jing hand over Nezha, or he would flood Chentangguan.
In order not to implicate the common people and his family, Nezha bravely stepped forward and committed suicide in grief.
Later, Taiyi Zhenren used lotus flowers and fresh lotus roots to reshape Nezha's body, allowing him to be reborn.
After being reborn, Nezha was even braver and more powerful. He held a fire-tipped spear in his hand and stepped on the Wind Fire Wheels, and launched a thrilling battle with the Dragon King. Finally, he defeated the Dragon King and rid the people of harm.
Since then, Nezha's heroic deeds have been widely spread among the people.
哪吒闹海
在很久很久以前,陈塘关总兵李靖的夫人怀胎三年零六个月后,生下了一个肉球。李靖大惊,以为是妖怪,正要用剑劈开,突然肉球光芒四射,从中跳出一个可爱的小男孩,他就是哪吒。
哪吒从小就聪明伶俐,且力大无穷。他有两件宝物,一件是混天绫,另一件是乾坤圈。
有一天,天气炎热,哪吒来到东海边洗澡。他拿出混天绫在水中轻轻一搅,顿时海面波涛汹涌。东海龙宫被搅得不得安宁,龙王派夜叉去查看。
夜叉来到海面,看到哪吒在洗澡,便大声呵斥:“你这小孩,为何在此捣乱,搅得龙宫不得安宁?”
哪吒毫不畏惧,回应道:“我不过是在洗澡,怎么就捣乱了?你这丑八怪,少在这里多管闲事!” 夜叉听后大怒,举起钢叉就刺向哪吒。
哪吒眼疾手快,用乾坤圈轻轻一挡,就把夜叉的钢叉震飞了。接着,他又用乾坤圈砸向夜叉,夜叉当场毙命。
龙王得知夜叉被杀,十分愤怒,派他的三太子敖丙前去捉拿哪吒。
敖丙带着虾兵蟹将来到海面,看到哪吒后,二话不说,就挥舞着长枪刺向哪吒。
哪吒毫不退缩,与敖丙展开了激烈的战斗。
混天绫和乾坤圈在他手中上下翻飞,威力巨大。
敖丙渐渐不敌,便想化作原形逃走。
哪吒哪会放过他,他脚踏风火轮,迅速追上敖丙,将他打得现了原形,还抽了他的龙筋。
龙王得知三太子被杀,悲痛欲绝,他来到陈塘关,要李靖交出哪吒,否则就水淹陈塘关。
哪吒为了不连累百姓和家人,挺身而出,悲愤自刎。
后来,太乙真人用莲花和鲜藕为哪吒重塑了身体,使他得以重生。
重生后的哪吒更加勇敢强大,他手持火尖枪,脚踏风火轮,与龙王展开了一场惊心动魄的大战,最终打败了龙王,为民除害。
从此,哪吒的英勇事迹在民间广为流传。

Passage 1
【材料来源:CNN】
China's animated blockbuster smashed box office records at home.
Now it's hitting Western cinemas
An unruly Chinese boy who battles dragons and defies destiny has made his way to Western cinema screens after smashing box office records in China.
“Ne Zha 2,” an animated blockbuster loosely based on Chinese mythology, is now the world’s highest-grossing movie of all time in a single market, racking up a staggering $1.4 billion in ticket sales in China since its January 29 release.
It dwarfs the previous record held by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which netted $936 million in the United States and Canada in 2015. The Chinese production is also the first non-Hollywood film to break into the all-time global top 20 of highest-grossing films.
The phenomenal success of “Ne Zha 2”–a rare bright spot in China’s otherwise sluggish box office amid a struggling economy–has sparked a wave of national pride and jubilation, with audiences, state media and officials rushing to celebrate the landmark achievement.
For decades, China’s movie market had been dominated by Hollywood blockbusters. But in recent years, homegrown titles – in genres from action and sci-fi to romance and animation–have increasingly outpaced Western films, a pivot fueled by rising cultural pride, more sophisticated storytelling and rapid technological progress.
And as censorship tightens and geopolitical tensions with the United States flare, it’s become all the more difficult for Hollywood to navigate political landmines in the once-lucrative market.
China’s domestic film industry has pounced on the opportunity. Animation rooted in traditional Chinese folklore, enhanced with state-of-the-art special effects, has proven to be a winning formula.
For a new generation of Chinese filmmakers and audiences, the reasoning is clear: If China’s own talent can deliver high-quality adaptions of the legends they grew up with, why rely on Western studios to tell Chinese stories?
Following its record-breaking run in China, “Ne Zha 2” has headed overseas, with wide releases in Australia and New Zealand on Thursday and North America on Friday. It became an instant hit among the Chinese diaspora – many rushed to snap up presale tickets days in advance and lined up for its premieres.
As “Ne Zha 2” box office receipts surpassed Hollywood classics one after another, Chinese moviegoers rallied to support the film and push its ticket sales to new heights.
On Chinese social media, users called on each other to hit the cinema – and even watch it multiple times. A trending hashtag on microblogging site Weibo compared the film’s rise through global box office ranks to “raising the national flag.”
On Thursday night, the film hit a landmark 10 billion yuan ($1.37 billion) in ticket sales, overtaking “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” to become the third-highest-grossing animated film ever, just behind “Frozen 2.”

中国的动画大片在国内打破了票房纪录
如今,它正在冲击西方的电影院
一个与龙搏斗、反抗命运的不羁中国男孩,在打破中国票房纪录后,登上了西方大荧幕。
《哪吒2》改编自中国神话故事,自 1 月 29 日上映以来,电影票房高达 14 亿美元,问鼎全球单一市场票房冠军宝座。
它不但打破了《星球大战:原力觉醒》于2015年在美国和加拿大创造的9.36亿美元票房纪录,而且还是首部跻身全球影史票房前20榜单的非好莱坞电影。
经济不景气,票房也低迷,《哪吒2》却是这困境里的一道曙光。它的巨大成功不但点燃了民族情怀,还引发了全民狂欢。观众、官媒以及官员都纷纷庆祝《哪吒2》创造中国电影里程牌。
几十年来,好莱坞大片在中国市场一枝独秀。近年来,包括动作片、科幻片、爱情片、动画在内的各种题材国产电影全面爆发,远超西方电影。这一改变源自文化自豪感的提升、错综复杂的叙事能力以及迅猛发展的技术。
随着审查制度的收紧和中美地缘政治局势的加剧,对好莱坞来说,如何在这个曾经利润丰厚的市场上避开政治红线,变得困难重重。
中国国产电影立即抓住了这一良机。以民间传说为蓝本,辅以最先进的特效,这便是动画制作的成功模板。
对于新一代中国电影人和观众来说,这一模式之所以能成功,原因一目了然。如果中国人自己能把耳熟能详的神话故事改编成一流作品,何须仰仗西方电影公司来制作中国故事呢?
继在中国创下票房纪录后,《哪吒2》已进军海外,周四在澳大利亚和新西兰热火上映,周五在北美上映。一经亮相,《哪吒2》在海外华人圈立刻引起轰动——许多人提前N天就疯抢预售票,排队观看首映。
随着《哪吒2》票房接连超越一部又一部好莱坞经典电影,中国影迷纷纷群起支持该片,又将票房推向新高。
在中国社交平台上,用户们互相呼吁去观影——甚至N刷。微博一热搜话题将该片爬榜全球票房排名比作“升国旗”。
截至周四晚上,票房破百亿大关(13.7亿美元),超越《超级马里奥兄弟大电影》,成为全球动画排行榜季军,仅次于《冰雪奇缘2》。
【词汇积累】
1.smash常见的意思是粉碎、摧毁。它还有一个意思是打破(记录)。
2.based loosely on大致基于,但是在具体语境中,我们可以说改编自。
3.rack up (sth)累计。
4.dwarf常见的意思是小矮人,当它做动词的时候,是使显得矮小,所以当我们想表达超越的意思时,除了surpass, outpace, exceed,还可以用 dwarf。一般的固定搭配是 dwarf by。
5.sluggish常见的意思是缓慢的、迟钝的。缓慢的经济或是缓慢的票房,在这里是经济不景气,票房低的意思。
6.struggling苦苦挣扎,一下子让人就感受到了经济的不景气。
Passage 2
【材料来源:China Daily】
Seeing China's rise through the success of Ne Zha
With the success of Ne Zha 1 (2019), domestic animated films have entered a new golden age, and Chinese animation has made remarkable progress! In 2025, Ne Zha 2 is recording a strong box office performance, becoming the highest-grossing animated film globally, which not only represents the rise of China's animation industry in terms of technology but also conveys several important messages to the world.
In the past, Chinese animation was often seen as products for a younger audience, with technical standards and narrative abilities that struggled to compete with Hollywood or Japanese animation. However, Ne Zha 2 continues the high quality of its predecessor, showcasing visual effects, character development, and depth of storyline that demonstrate the maturity of the industrialization process in Chinese animation, as well as its ability to compete with international animation giants. This means that Chinese animation is no longer merely a "learner", but an "innovator" capable of independent creation and trend-setting.
Additionally, Ne Zha 2 reinterprets traditional culture from a modern perspective, making it more aligned with contemporary audiences' aesthetics and values. This innovation not only resonates with domestic viewers but also attracts overseas markets' interest in Chinese mythology. With the enhancement of China's cultural soft power, domestic animation, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and others are gradually becoming new vehicles for cultural export, helping Chinese stories reach the world.
As of the time of writing, Ne Zha 2 has already made 13.7 billion yuan in global box office! Of that, the overseas box office accounts for only 115 million. This indicates that China has become one of the largest film markets globally and ranks first in the world for single film markets. With a population of 1.4 billion, China truly holds immense potential. Observing the rapid development of the country, the world is eager to have a share in this enormous market.
Even international stars such as Blackpink's Jennie are recently filming in Mandarin to penetrate the Xiaohongshu and Douyin markets, focusing on the mainland market. Furthermore, foreign interest in China's soft culture and tourism is growing.
The box office success of Ne Zha 2 tells the world that even if products from other countries are suppressed and unable to be screened or sold, relying solely on the Chinese market is already substantial enough to stand on its own. Currently, many European countries still do not have the opportunity to screen Ne Zha 2, yet Chinese communities in Europe are even organizing trips to Greece to watch it! Many netizens are posting complaints about the indefinite delay in screenings. If given the chance, the box office would far exceed current figures.
The rise of Ne Zha 2 symbolizes the comprehensive enhancement of Chinese animation from technology to culture, from market to international influence. This is not only a significant breakthrough for Chinese animation but also signifies that in the future Chinese animation will occupy a more important position in the global market, becoming an undeniable force in the world animation industry.

《哪吒2》:成功背后的中国崛起之路
随着《哪吒之魔童降世》(2019)的成功,国产动画电影进入了一个新的黄金时代,中国动画取得了显著进展!到2025年,《哪吒2》正在创下强劲的票房成绩,成为全球票房最高的动画电影,这不仅代表着中国动画产业在技术上的崛起,还向世界传递了几个重要信息。
过去,中国动画常被视为面向年轻观众的产品,其技术标准和叙事能力常常难以与好莱坞或日本动画竞争。然而,《哪吒2》延续了前作的高质量,展示了视觉效果、人物发展和故事深度,体现了中国动画产业化过程的成熟度,以及与国际动画巨头竞争的能力。这意味着,中国动画不再仅仅是一个“学习者”,而是一个能够独立创造和引领潮流的“创新者”。
此外,《哪吒2》从现代视角重新诠释了传统文化,使其更加贴近当代观众的审美和价值观。这种创新不仅与国内观众产生共鸣,也吸引了海外市场对中国神话的兴趣。随着中国文化软实力的提升,国产动画、抖音、小红书等平台逐渐成为新的文化出口载体,帮助中国故事走向世界。
截至写作时,《哪吒2》全球票房已达137亿元人民币!其中,海外票房仅为1.15亿元。这表明,中国已经成为全球最大的电影市场之一,并且在单片市场上排名世界第一。凭借14亿人口,中国确实拥有巨大的潜力。随着国家快速发展的步伐,世界各国也迫切希望在这一庞大市场中分一杯羹。
即使是像BLACKPINK的Jennie这样的国际明星,最近也在拍摄普通话作品,试图渗透小红书和抖音市场,专注于中国大陆市场。此外,外国对中国软文化和旅游的兴趣也在不断增长。
《哪吒2》的票房成功告诉世界,即使其他国家的产品受到压制,无法上映或销售,仅依靠中国市场已经足够强大,可以独立发展。目前,许多欧洲国家仍未能上映《哪吒2》,但欧洲的华人社区甚至组织去希腊观看!许多网友纷纷抱怨影片上映的时间被无限期推迟。如果有机会,其票房将远远超过目前的数字。
《哪吒2》的崛起象征着中国动画从技术到文化,从市场到国际影响力的全面提升。这不仅是中国动画的一个重大突破,也意味着未来中国动画将在全球市场占据更加重要的位置,成为世界动画产业中不可忽视的力量。
