So what do you know about vampires? Where did the stories originate? Are they scary? Sexy? Good? Evil? Are they real? Is Twilight a good vampire movie?

For a very long time now, people have been fascinated by the idea of vampires. Unlike most monsters (zombies, werewolves etc.), vampires both seduce us and scare us at the same time. They've changed a lot over the years and with each generation, they seem to be a reflection of the times. But what do they reflect? Are they a projection of our fears? Our desires? Can both coexist in one entity? Who's a better vampire: Bella Lugosi, Gary Oldman, Tom Cruise or Robert Pattinson? (You're probably too young to know the first two names)._x000D_

很长一段时间以来,人们一直对吸血鬼的概念着迷。与大多数怪物(僵尸、狼人等)不同,吸血鬼在引诱我们的同时也会吓到我们。这些年来,它们发生了很大的变化,每一代吸血鬼似乎都反映了产生它们那个时代。但它们反映了什么?它们是我们恐惧的投射吗?我们的欲望吗?两者能否共存于一个实体中?谁是更好的吸血鬼:贝拉·卢戈西、加里·奥德曼、汤姆·克鲁斯还是罗伯特·帕丁森?(你可能还太年轻,不知道前两个名字)。_x000D_
