句子：由于两家电影厂争拍同一题材影片，这两部电影的情节撞车了。
误译：As the two studios scrambled to produce a film on the same subject, the plots of the two films collided with each other.
正译：As the two studios scrambled to produce a film on the same subject, the plots of the two films overlapped with each other.
解释：这里“撞车”是“碰巧一样” 的意思。to collide 的意思是to strongly disagree in opinion，即“意见冲突”，不表示“情节或内容雷同”。to overlap的意思是to cover part of the
same area of sth，即“部分范围重叠”，有“撞车”的比喻意义。
