新潮岁月 / The Chosen (1981)

　　Two Jewish teenagers in 1940s New York meet as playground rivals. After accidentally injuring Reuven, Danny calls on him at home to apologize. Their wariness turns to fascination and close friendship as each discovers and admires the other's differences. Reuven is experienced, practical, and worldly-wise; while Danny is brilliant and mystical, incredibly erudite in some matters, but incredibly naive in others. To humble him, his father, an immigrant rabbi, has followed the stern tradition of raising him in silence. He thirsts for the wider knowledge represented by Reuven's environment; while Reuven is enraptured by Danny's close-knit family and synagogue community. But can their friendship survive the sharp differences between Danny's ultra Orthodoxy and Reuven's Modern Orthodox Judaism? Danny's people oppose the State of Israel as fanatically as Reuven and his father are working to create it. The issue threatens to make them enemies once again.

　　译文(2): 20世纪40年代，两个犹太青少年在纽约作为游乐场的竞争对手相遇。在不小心伤了鲁汶之后，丹尼打电话到他家里向他道歉。当他们发现并欣赏对方的不同之处时，他们的警惕变成了迷恋和亲密的友谊。鲁文经验丰富、实际、见多识广; 而丹尼才华横溢、神秘莫测，在某些方面博学多识，但在另一些方面却异常天真。为了让他谦卑，他的父亲，一个移民拉比，遵循严厉的传统，养育他在沉默。他渴望更广泛的知识所代表的鲁汶的环境，而鲁汶是欣喜若狂的丹尼的紧密的家庭和犹太教会社区。但是他们的友谊能够经受住丹尼极端正统派和鲁汶现代正统犹太主义之间的巨大差异吗？丹尼的人民反对以色列国，就像鲁汶和他父亲正在努力建立以色列国一样狂热。这个问题可能使他们再次成为敌人。
