Reading-Behind the Scenes
Prediction
Hello,everyone!Let me start by asking you a question:what's the first thing you notice about a film The acting The music Maybe the amazing sets Whatever your answer is,there's always a lot more to it than first meets the eye.
1.介词后接V.ing
2.notice V.注意
3.acting n.表演
4.there’s more to sb./sth. than first meets the eye
某人或者某事比第一眼看上去具有更多内涵
what's the first thing you notice about a film 第一行
省略了that的定语从句,关系代词在从句中作宾语,可省略·
大家好!让我来先问你们一个问题作为开场:对于一部电影你首先会注意什么 表演 配乐 也许是令人惊叹的布景 无论你们的答案是什么,事情总要比你们认为的要复杂得多。
Actually,the film you see on the screen is the product of a huge amount of hard work,most of which takes place behind the scenes.Today,I'll give you a brief introduction to some aspects of film-making you might not be familiar with.
1.Actually adv.事实上
2.a huge amount of大量的
3. take place 发生
4.brief adj.简洁的
5.be familiar with 对...熟悉
the film you see on the screen is the product of a huge amount of hard work,
most of which takes place behind the scenes.第4行
1.定语从句,修饰the film
2.非限制性定语从句
事实上,你在银幕上看到的电影是大量艰苦工作的产物,其中大部分工作发生在幕后。今天我将就电影制作中你们可能不太熟悉的几个方面做一个简单的介绍。
To begin with, I'd like to draw your attention to an important factor of a film- sound effects, These are often added after a scene has been shot and might not be made in the way you would expect.
1.To begin with首先
2.draw your attention注意
3.sound effect音效
4.shot拍摄
5.the way+定语从句
首先,我想请你们注意电影的一个重要元素--音效。音效通常是在一个场景拍摄完成之后添加的,而且可能是以你意想不到的方式制作的。
For example, in Jurassic Park, the sounds of different animals, including a baby elephant and a tiger, were mixed by a computer to make adinosaur roar. The sound of the doors opening in the Star Trek films was made simply by pulling a sheet of paper out of an envelope.
1.including包含;包括 非谓语动词
2.were mixed by被动语态;
在考试中被动和by经常一起考
3.adinosaur roar恐龙咆哮
4.a sheet of 一张
5.envelope信封
例如,《侏罗纪公园》中恐龙的吼叫声,是用包括小象和老虎在内的不同动物的声音通过电脑合成的。在《星际迷航》系列电影里,开门的声音不过是通过从信封里抽取纸张来实现的
Another aspect l attach great importance to is visual special effects. CGl has been frequently used in film-making as a special effects technology.
1.attach great importance to 重视;认为...重要
2.visual special effects视觉特效
3. CGl计算机生成影像
4.frequently频繁地
另一个我认为非常重要的方面是视觉特效。CGI(计算机生成影像)作为一种特效技术在电影制作中已经很常用。
Generally, scenes requiring CGl are filmed in front of a green screen in the studio.As green doesn't match any natural hair or skin colour, actors can be easily separated from the background.
1.Generally一般来说
2.requiring 要求;现在分词做后置定语
3.studio 电影摄像棚
4.separate分离
一般来说,需要使用CG1的场景会在工作室的绿幕前拍摄。因为绿色与任何自然的人类发色或肤色都不同,演员可以轻易地与背景分离。
This enables CGl effects to be added later. The Quidditch scenes in the Hary Potter films were made in this way with the actors jumping up and down in front of a green screen.
1.enable使能够
2.with the actors jumping up and down
with+复合结构;with+宾语+现在分词
这使得在后期添加CGI效果成为可能。“哈利· 波特”系列电影中魁地奇比赛的场景就是通过演员在绿幕前上下跳跃这种方式制作的。
However, the aid of computers isn't always preferred.Peter jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings films, took a creative approach-he used clever camera angles to make characters seem bigger or smaller than they really were.
1.aid帮助;援助
2.prefer更喜欢
3.creative有创造力的
4.approach方法
5.angle角度
6.bigger or smaller than
比较级和than经常互相考
不过,计算机辅助并不总是受到青睐。“指环王”系列电影的导演彼得杰克逊采用了一种创造性的方法--他利用各种巧妙的拍摄角度,使剧中角色看起来比实际更大更小。
Props also contribute to a film's success. To make a film look real, great effort must sometimes be made to research, find and build objects.
1.Prop道具
2.contribute to导致;促成
3.To make a film look real
不定式短语作目的状语 翻译成:为了...
4.make great effort
付出巨大的努力
道具也为一部电影的成功助力。为了让电影看起来逼真,有时必须付出巨大的努力去研究、寻找和构建物体
Director James Cameron spent six months looking at and revising plans of the Titanic in order to build a full-sized model for his 1997 film.
1.Director导演
2.spent...looking...
spend time doing sth.
花费时间做某事
3.revise修正
4.in order to为了
5.full-sized model
全尺寸模型
导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆花了半年时间研究和修正“泰坦尼克号”的图纸,为的是在他1997年的电影中制作一个全尺寸模型。
He talked to historians to ensure that the details were correct and even went down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see what was left of the ship for himself.
1.historian历史学家
2.ensure保证;确保
3.went down下潜
4.bottom 底部
5.Atlantic Ocean大西洋
6.left残骸
7.for himself亲自
He talked to (谓语1)historians to ensure that the details were correct(that引导宾语从句), and (并列连词)even went down(谓语2) to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see what was left of the ship for himself. (what引导宾语从句)
他和历史学家进行交流以确保细节无误,甚至亲自潜到大西洋海底查看“泰坦尼克号”的残骸
lt took 500 workers 100 days to build the fine model, not to mention the thousands of props inside.
1.It took sb. sometime to do sth.
做某事花费某人多长时间
2.not to mention更不用说
3.thousands of数以千计
为了制作这个精致的模型,500名工人用了100天,更不用说内部还有成千上万的道具了。
My lecture today may not be able to do justice to all the work people have done behind the scenes. Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg, what we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making.
1.lecture讲座
2.be able to能够做某事
3.do justice to恰当处理
4.the tip of the iceberg冰山一角
Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg ,(just as引导方式状语从句) what we see on the cinema screen(what引导的主语从句) is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making.
我今天的讲座,可能无法对所有的幕后工作者给予公正的评价。正如“泰坦尼克号”上可怜的乘客看到的冰山一角一样,我们在影院银幕上看到的也只是电影制作这座巨大冰山的一角而己。
Hopefully, next time you go to the cinema, you'll spare a thought for all those talented people behind the scenes. They have worked for months and even years so that you can have two hours of enjoyment!
1.spare a thought for想到;替...着想
2.enjoyment愉悦
希望下次你们走进电影院时,能想一想所有那些才华出众的幕后工作者。他们工作了数月甚至是数年,如此你们才能有两个小时的愉悦时光!
