Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
逆转裁判,文字AVG(Adventure Game)游戏,童年最爱游戏没有之一。
为什么叫逆转,逆转这个词很精髓(quintessence),Phoenix指的是凤凰,凤凰涅槃与“逆转”相关。
phoenix
- n. 凤凰;死而复生的人
- n. (Phoenix)人名;(英)菲尼克斯
如果光从字面意思看“逆转”,就没有逆火重生(rebirth)的意思了:
changeover /ˈtʃeɪndʒˌəʊvə/
-
N-COUNT A changeover is a change from one activity or system to another. 转换
例:
He again called for a faster changeover to a market economy.
他再次呼吁一个更快的向市场经济的转换。
例:
Right now we are in the changeover period between autumn and winter.
现在我们正处在秋冬换季时期。
至于为什么叫做 Phoenix Wright,我们看一下wright的意思:
wright /raɪt/
-
N a person who creates, builds, or repairs something specified 创造者; 修建者
例:
a playwright 游戏策划者;剧作家;
Wright这个词其实是个姓,但是也可以用在单词后面组合起来形容创造什么什么的人。
Phoenix Wright大概就是“经常进行逆转操作的人”(因为在游戏中主人公往往首先陷入劣势,然后一步一步扳回来)吧。
quintessence /kwɪnˈtɛsəns/ TEM8
-
N-UNCOUNT The quintessence of something is the most perfect or typical example of it. 典范
例:
He was the quintessence of all that Eva most deeply loathed.

N-UNCOUNT The quintessence of something is the aspect of it which seems to represent its central nature. 精髓

ace是第一、王牌的意思,不用多说。
attorney是律师、检察官的意思:
attorney /əˈtɜːnɪ/ CET4 TEM4
