A man and a woman, Li Mubai(played by Chow YunFat) and Yu Xiulian(played by Michelle Yeoh), b

15、趣。我们最关注秀莲这个角色，她勇敢、善良、坚强。美丽的章子怡扮演玉娇龙，一个并不像外表看起来那样善良的年轻女子。娇龙和秀莲的打斗场面是现代影院里最为精彩的时刻。但是谁也不会忘记周润发，他真是很了不起，他使剑和使枪一样厉害。他和俞秀莲之间的浪漫戏很感人，他们的眼神传递了所有的爱意，这种爱是不可以通过语言表达的。像这样的影片在电影院很少。去看看卧虎藏龙吧。它将用美来使你心灵激荡。PrereadingPlease match the words with their proper meanings.1swordAadj.优美的；优雅的2characterBvt.使感兴趣3rooftop Cadj.勇
