【英音模仿秀】天注定

模仿文本： A film from China now, A Touch Of Sin, subverts¹ expectations. Firstly it's largely set outside the big cities in bleak² rural towns and villages, sometimes dominated by a vast industrial complex. Then its subject is sudden acts of violence, sometimes of serial³ almost Tarantino intensity⁴ on the part of ordinary citizens variously horrified⁵, trapped or exploited in China's relentless⁶ drive to economic success.
