外电报道如下:
While critics savaged1 Oliver Stone's long-waited epic2 "Alexander," novelist and social activist3 Gore4 Vidal rallied to the $160 million movie's defense5 saying it was "barrier-breaking" because of its frank depiction6 of bisexuality.
Stone's film opened on Wednesday to near universal pans from critics who called it everything from a "noble failure" to an "indifferent epic."
The Charlotte, North Carolina, Observer said the movie was "an act of hubris7 so huge, that, in Alexander's time, it would draw lightning bolts from contemptuous gods."
Bisexuality表示“双性恋,雌雄同体(株)”,例如:Bisexuality and related problems also exist in both the heterosexual and gay, lesbian.(双性恋及其带来的问题同样存在于异性恋和男、女同性恋者中。)
