1. 1英國電影分級:十二歲以上可看(接近台灣的「輔導十二歲」)

    In Britain, 12 on a film or trailer means the board has said only people aged 12 or over may see it. You will hear a 12, a 12 certificate, rated 12. The stories at this level can be scarier or ruder than a PG, but they are still meant for younger teenagers, not for adults-only films. Though actually, British boards also use 12A: a child under 12 may go if an adult sits with them; a plain 12 (used more on home video) does not give that extra door. This is not the American system: the US has PG-13, which is a cousin idea, not the same stamp. People say it in everyday talk about what to watch; it is a label, not a lesson in maths.

    在英國,電影或預告片上的 12 是分級,表示只有 12 歲以上的人才能看。常見的說法有「a 12 certificate」(12 級的分級)和「rated 12」(被分為 12 級)。這個級別的內容可能比 PG 更嚇人或更粗俗,但還是給年輕青少年看的,不是給成人的。

    英國還有 12A,12 歲以下的小孩可以在大人陪同下進場;單純的 12 沒有這個例外,常見於家用影碟。美國的 PG-13 跟它只是相近的概念,不是同一種標示。日常聊天選電影時大家就會這樣說,它是一個標籤,不是數學題。

組成The number twelve used as a certificate: it names the youngest age allowed in. A shortening of the age itself.
