By contrast, his son Faramir also wants to protect the city, but not at any cost, not at the cost of evil.

相反，他的儿子法拉米尔虽然也想保卫王城，但并非不惜以邪恶为代价。

Nevertheless, in both versions, Faramir defines a line that cannot be crossed, a point after which defeat is more desirable than victory.

但在两个版本里，法拉米尔都划定了不可逾越的红线，宁可失败，也不为了胜利而犯戒。

Although Faramir immediately rejects the ring in the book, the film gives him a bit more of a journey to get to this point.

书中法拉米尔立即就拒绝了魔戒，电影则添加了一些铺垫。

It does suggest that Tolkien was making a point that transcends gender, especially considering that Faramir and Eowyn go on to live a life that is not unlike his dearest characters.

这暗示着托尔金在表达一个无关性别的观点，特别是法拉米尔和伊奥温之后的生活跟他着墨最多的角色并不一样。
