HBO全新犯罪迷你剧《罪夜之奔》讲述了一位来自纽约皇后区的美籍巴基斯坦裔大学生纳兹（纳西尔•汗）的故事。他努力尝试着融入并不友好的美国社会。随着纳西尔命运的展开，这部剧也愈发扣人心弦。
A night that begins with promise ends up going very wrong for the shy and mild-mannered Naz, played by Riz Ahmed. He takes his father’s cab without permission to go to a party in Manhattan, hoping to meet girls. And when an attractive, but troubled, young woman named Andrea Cornish gets into the cab believing he’s on duty, Naz can’t turn her away.
对于害羞而又温和的纳兹（里兹•阿迈德饰）来说，由一个约定开始的那一晚根本就是个错误。他偷偷开走了父亲的出租车，前往曼哈顿参加一场派对，希望能在派对上遇见令他心动的女孩。而当年轻漂亮而又略显不安的安德莉亚•科尼什拦下了他的出租车时，纳兹完全无法拒绝她。
But happiness soon turns to horror. After a *debauched night of sex and drugs at her place, Nasir wakes up to find Andrea dead, the victim of multiple stab wounds. Did he kill her? Later-shown *ample evidence seems to confirm that he did, but we don’t know for sure.
但欢愉转瞬便成了噩梦。在安德莉亚的家中度过了激情放纵的一夜之后，纳西尔醒来却发现，安德莉亚身中数刀暴毙。是他杀了她么？后来发现的种种证据似乎都在表明，是纳兹杀害了这个女孩，然而目前，我们还无法盖棺定论。
Based on the BBC series Criminal Justice (2008), the eight-part show is on the surface *procedural, yet it has something of the feel of the crime-based podcast Serial (2014-) or the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer (2015-) as it explores a *tangled case, with elements of racism and a justice system overburdened by human failings.
这部八集的电视剧和BBC连续剧《司法正义》（2008）一脉相承，还带有犯罪博客《Serial》（2014-）以及网飞纪录片《制造杀人犯》（2015-）的影子。它讲述了一件错综复杂的案子，涉及了种族主义的元素和满是人性弱点的司法体制。
“Growing up as a Muslim-American, post-9/11, you kind of have a very (unpleasant) relationship toward the authorities; you are told you are automatically a suspect,” Ahmed says. “It certainly does play into what you can expect in the criminal justice system. People view you as a threat.”
“作为一个在后911时代成长起来的美国穆斯林，你和有关当局之间的关系常常不是十分愉快的；你总是被不经思索地归为犯罪嫌疑人，”阿迈德说道。“这部剧确实描绘出了美国穆斯林在刑事司法体系中的处境。人们将你视作威胁。”
Rather than present *a carousel of would-be killers as so many prime-time *whodunits are prone to do, The Night Of invites the viewer to ponder the fate of its single key suspect without trying to pull the wool over their eyes in the process. Did he do it? If he didn’t, who did and why? Is the soon-to-be-retired police detective (Bill Camp) making too many easy assumptions? Will the anti-Muslim tensions in the community further *hamper Nasir’s chances of *acquittal?
和许多黄金时段播出的侦探故事不同，《罪夜之奔》的剧情并没有设定一大批犯罪嫌疑人。恰恰相反，在剧情发展的过程中，观众们并没有被蒙在鼓里，所有的焦点都集中在那个关键嫌疑人的命运上。真的是他杀害了那个女孩吗？如果不是，那又是谁做的？为什么要这样做？那个即将退休的警探（比尔•坎普饰）所做的假设是否都过于草率？社会上的反穆斯林情结又是否会使纳西尔无罪释放的几率更加渺茫？
The Night Of dutifully delves into the social and political undertones present in American criminal cases – along with the emotional *carnage they cause – as it explores the police investigation and legal proceedings. And it takes on added layers when it follows Nasir to prison, where he is the *proverbial fish out of water.
在探索了警方调查和法律程序的基础上，《罪夜之奔》负责任地揭示了美国刑事案件中社会和政治基调——以及它们所引发的情感上的大屠杀。当纳西尔后来入狱，宛如离水之鱼时，这部剧又有了更多的含义。
The miniseries unfolds in leisurely fashion – maybe too leisurely for some viewers. But it’s hard not to admire how carefully observed and precisely rendered the scenes are. You could do worse than to lock yourself away to watch this carefully put together masterpiece.
这部迷你剧以一种悠闲从容的方式展开——或许对一些观众来说，有些过于漫不经心了。但比起一个人偷偷躲起来看这部精妙绝伦的杰作，否定这部剧缜密的情节以及精准的渲染，恐怕会更加糟糕。
