The historical thriller, which opened in China on July 21, follows the story of British computerscientist Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch). Turing was crucial in helping the UK governmentdecode German intelligence during World War II. He was later prosecuted for then-illegalhomosexual acts.

　　7月21日上映的《模仿游戏》是一部传记电影，讲述了英国计算机科学家艾伦•图灵(本尼迪克特•康伯巴奇饰演)的故事。二战中，图灵在帮助英国政府破译德国密码时起到了至关重要的作用。由于当时同性恋是违法的，图灵也后来因此被起诉。

　　The film is decidedly not in the same vein as the Pirates series. Knightley plays Joan Clarke, a friendof Turing, in a film those involved called profound and important. Clarke herself was a pivotalcodebreaker in her own right, praised for her intellect.

　　《模仿游戏》和《加勒比海盗》系列的风格大相径庭。在这部意义重大而深远的影片中，奈特莉饰演图灵的朋友琼•克拉克。卡拉克本身也是一名核心的密码破译人员，因其杰出的才能受到赞誉。

　　"She brings a much-needed warmth, humor and Anglicized spunk to the proceedings a JoanClarke, immediately winning over the audience’s affections when she is mistakenly pegged as asecretarial candidate while trying out for a code-breaking position,” critic Susan Wloszczyna wroteon review website rogerebert.com.

　　“在饰演琼•克拉克的过程中，奈特莉为角色带来了所需的温暖、幽默以及英式气概，尤其是在影片中，克拉克本想试用密码破译的岗位，却误被任命充当文职人员的桥段，迅速赢得了观众的喜爱，”评论家苏珊•沃络茨兹娜在影评网站rogerebet.com上写道。

　　Her Pirates character was fiery, smart, and independent, but Knightley’s new role has historicalweight behind it. It seems that’s the weight Knightley has been looking for.

　　奈特莉饰演的海盗角色热情似火、聪明独立，但是她在《模仿游戏》中的新角色却颇有许历史厚重感。而似乎这才是奈特莉一直以来所追寻的。

　　"For so many of us in The Imitation Game, it felt like a project we all wanted to be involve withbecause it felt like an important story to tell,” she told The Guardian.

　　“对出演《模仿游戏》中的很多人来讲，这更像是一个我们都希望参与其中的任务，因为感觉像是在讲述一个意义重大的故事，”奈特莉在接受《卫报》的采访时表示。
