Remember when Revenge was actually about Emily Thorne avenging her father's death and wrongful life sentence?
還記得《復仇》（Revenge）女主角艾米莉·索恩（Emily Thorne）的終極目標是為了給被判終身監(jiān)禁然后冤死獄中的父親報仇雪恨嗎？
?

Although Emily got caught up in a love triangle with Daniel (Josh Bowman) and Jack (Nick Wecshler) along the way, the show rarely veered from its main mission — and that red pen. But has Season 2 lost its way? With its complicated and confusing arcs, the addition of two main characters who aren't very likable ?— Aidan (Barry Sloane) and Kara (Jennifer Jason Leigh) — and a lack of action and actual vengeance, it seems like Revenge could use some help returning to its freshman season glory.
盡管艾米莉與丹尼爾（Daniel），杰克（Jack）二人的三角戀情貫穿了整個第一季，但“復仇”始終是不變的主題。第二季隨著兩個不怎么討人喜歡的新角色艾登（Aiden）和艾米莉母親卡拉（Kara）的加入，劇情愈發(fā)復雜，也更加糾結(jié)，然而最精彩的復仇行動卻鮮少出現(xiàn)。

Here are five ways we want to fix Revenge:
歸納起來，《復仇》第二季存在著以下五大敗筆。

1. Bring back the revengenda
1.復仇行動節(jié)奏緩慢?

When was the last time Emily sat down with that Grayson Global retreat photo and mapped out a way she was going to eliminate each person involved? She may still be targeting Grayson Global, but we have no idea what her roadmap is anymore and how far she's going to stray from or adhere to it.
我們最近一次看到艾米莉拿著那張格雷森（Grayson）家諱莫如深的老照片坐在桌前一一圈出她想要除掉的有罪之人已經(jīng)是什么時候的事了？格雷森家族也許仍是艾米莉的目標，我們卻再也猜不到她的下一步行動了，不知她是否改變了原有計劃還是決定照計劃行事。

2. More Emily and Nolan plotting
2.艾米莉與諾蘭互動戲份減少

We miss the reliance these two had on each other, and while Nolan isn't lacking one-liners (or a colorful wardrobe) this season, the scenes between the two are now used to provide comic relief in the hour. An "Ems" every so often isn't enough. Let's get these two back in front of the computer figuring out what Emily's next move is and how Nolan can aid her.
我們都十分想念他們對彼此的信任。第二季的諾蘭（Nolan）變得幽默了許多，他和艾米莉打趣的話已經(jīng)成為了緩解緊張劇情的“獨家秘訣”。只是聽到諾蘭親昵地稱艾米莉為“小艾”（Ems）的次數(shù)明顯減少讓我們有些失望。大家都非常希望能夠看到兩人再一次共同對著電腦研究接下來的行動，以及諾蘭毫無保留地幫助艾米莉的場景。

3. Get rid of Aidan
3.艾登

Does anyone actually like this guy? We understand the need for someone to shed light on Emily's post-lockup training with Takeda, but there's nothing charming or likeable about him. Plus: We've yet to see his purpose for being in town (except to kill the White-Haired Man.
難道有人真心喜歡艾登嗎？我們能理解除了武田（Takeda）的魔鬼訓練，艾米莉還需要一個盟友。但艾登這個角色完全沒有討喜之處，或者個人魅力；并且我們直到現(xiàn)在都還沒發(fā)現(xiàn)他來漢普頓的目的何在。

4. Give Daniel a backbone
4.墻頭草丹尼爾

Whose side is he really on? Does he have any opinions or convictions of his own? It's always hard to tell when one day he's supporting dad and he switches to Team Victoria the next. Maybe if he actually took a stand on something — anything — we'd finally respect the guy. (Don't even get us started on him and Ashley.)
丹尼爾到底和誰是一伙兒的？他就不能有點主見，有點定力么？總之我們只看到他從康拉德（Conrad）的陣營轉(zhuǎn)投維多利亞（Victoria），如果哪天他堅定了自己的立場，我們或許會對他產(chǎn)生點兒好感。不過讓我們更鬧心的還是他勾搭上了阿什莉（Ashley）。

5. Relegate the bar to the background (and have Declan go with it)
5.偷渡者酒吧狗血泛濫?

Can't The Stowaway just remain a signature set like Central Perk or The Peach Pit? Since Declan (Connor Paolo) and Charlotte (Christa B. Allen) broke up, the show has struggled to integrate the blue-collar teen into story lines and has instead concocted a bizarre arc in which Declan gets caught stealing from Kenny (JR Bourne). But rather than pressing charges, the uber-shady Kenny bails the bar out, which means Jack and Dec are indebted to him for life. Um, what?! If this keeps up, we hope Declan is the mysterious dead body underwater.
為什么偷渡者酒吧（The Stowaway）不能只是一個普通的劇中建筑呢？自從德克蘭（Declan）和夏洛特（Charlotte）緣分散盡，編劇就一直試圖把這個“窮小子愛上富家女”的老套戲碼融入《復仇》的故事主線中。不過效果實在不佳，德克蘭因為偷竊肯尼（Kenny）財物被捕的情節(jié)設置更是及其古怪。而最讓人無語的還屬腦子進水的肯尼竟然沒有起訴，反倒幫了即將關門大吉偷渡者酒吧一把，搖身一變成了波特（Potter）兄弟的債主。呃，這到底是在演哪一出?。咳绻者@樣下去，那我寧愿水下的那具無名男尸就是德克蘭。
