‘Frozen 2’ has a major twist when the true nature of ‘Frozen’s fifth elemental spirit is revealed, but the ending should mean more for Anna in ‘Frozen 3’. At the end of ‘Frozen 2’, the fifth spirit is shown to be Anna and Elsa, together, but the focus is much more on Elsa and her journey. The third ‘Frozen’ film is a good chance for Disney to explore the nature of the fifth spirit more deeply.

《冰雪奇缘2》在揭露冰雪世界设定第五个元素精灵本质的时候，有一个核心伏笔，根据结尾暗示应该更多指向《冰雪奇缘3》中的安娜。《冰雪奇缘3》结尾的时候表明安娜和艾尔莎合起来是第五个精灵，但第二部更多的是展示艾尔莎和她的冒险之旅。第三部对迪士尼来说将会是更深探索第五个精灵的好时机。

twist：这个词常见，一般指扭动，扭曲；这里应该指电影情节设计有翻转或者比较有包袱

The fifth spirit is said to be "a bridge between us and the magic and nature," according to Honeymaren, a member of the Northuldra. At the end of ‘Frozen 2’, Elsa seemingly discovers that she is the fifth spirit, gaining power over the four elements - water, fire, wind and earth. But as Elsa later reveals, the fifth spirit exists in the relationship between her and Anna. Their sisterhood is what forges a bridge between magic, represented by Elsa, and the mundane, represented by Anna. As Elsa says, "a bridge has two sides, and mother had two daughters." Anna and Elsa freed the Enchanted Forest together.

据诺桑德拉人霍尼玛伦说法，第五个精灵据说是“世俗与魔法和自然世界之间的桥梁”。在《冰雪奇缘2》的结尾，艾尔莎似乎发现自己是第五个精灵，能够控制水、火、风和土这四种元素。但正如艾尔莎后来揭示的那样，第五精灵存在于她和安娜之间。她们的姐妹情谊在以艾尔莎为代表的魔法和以安娜为代表的世俗之间架起了一座桥梁。正如艾尔莎所说:“一座桥有两端，而母亲有两个女儿。”安娜和艾尔莎一起解放了魔法森林。

Anna's abilities aren't as visible as Elsa's, but her determination, resilience and love are critical to ‘Frozen 2's happy ending.

安娜的能力不像艾尔莎那样显而易见，但她的决心、韧性和爱对《冰雪奇缘2》的圆满结局至关重要。

It's those traits that help Anna destroy the dam, revive Elsa and ultimately broker peace between the Northuldra and Arendelle. However, Anna does not get as much concrete recognition as Elsa. Although both end the movie by stepping into leadership roles - Elsa as the head of the Enchanted Forest and Anna as Queen of Arendelle - Elsa undergoes more visible changes, gaining new powers.

正是这些特质帮助安娜摧毁了大坝，复活了艾尔莎，并最终促成了诺桑德拉和艾伦黛尔的和平。然而，安娜并没有得到像艾尔莎那样多的具体认知。虽然在影片的结尾，两人都扮演了领导角色——艾尔莎扮演魔法森林的首领，安娜扮演艾伦黛尔女王——但艾尔莎经历了更明显的变化，获得了新的力量。

‘Frozen 3’ should take a closer look at how Anna grows into her role as one half of the fifth spirit. Anna's power is in her connection to people - her love for her sister, Sven, and the subjects of Arendelle.

《冰雪奇缘3》应该会着重安娜成长经历，她如何成长为‘第五元素的一半’这个角色定位。安娜的力量体现在她与他人的羁绊中--她对姐姐、斯温和艾伦戴尔一切的爱。

While Elsa jumps into the unknown, Anna is a grounding force, reining Elsa in whenever it looks like she might be going too far or risking too much. ‘Frozen 3’ might be able to highlight that trait by giving Anna the ability to neutralize magic or control volatile situations in some way. While ‘Frozen 2’ made it a point to avoid giving Anna magical abilities, perhaps she could act as an anti-magical force, bringing balance to power. Anna's love of the kingdom and its people was also explored in a song that was later cut from ‘Frozen 2’, "Home." ‘Frozen 3’ could show Anna's role as the fifth spirit by highlighting her love in a similar way, giving Anna a breakout song in the sequel.（Screen Rant）

当艾尔莎跳入未知世界时，安娜是一股踏实的支持力量，每当她看起来要走得太远或冒险太多时，安娜就会拉住她。《冰雪奇缘3》或许可以通过赋予安娜抵消魔法或以某种方式控制动荡局面的能力来突出这一特点。虽然《冰雪奇缘2》强调要避免让安娜拥有魔法能力，但也许她可以作为一股反魔法的力量，带来力量的平衡。安娜对这个王国和它的人民的爱也体现在被《冰雪奇缘2》中剪掉的歌曲《家》中。《冰雪奇缘3》也可以用类似的方式来突出安娜的爱，展示安娜作为第五个精灵的角色，在续集中为安娜安排一首爆发性歌曲。（荧幕咆哮）
