Director
Kevin
Macdonald
asked
people
around
the
world
to
answer
the
questions
and
send
in
a
video
clip
from
a
typical
day.
He
was
interested
in
creating
a
picture
of
the
world,
a
digital
time
capsule
for
the
future.
On
24
July
2010,
people
from
Africa,
Europe,
America,
Antarctica
and
Asia
recorded
events
on
their
mobile
phones
and
digital
cameras
and
uploaded
them
onto
the
Internet.
In
all
there
were
81,000
video
clips.
It
took
Macdonald
and
a
team
of
researchers
seven
weeks
to
make
them
into
a
film.21·cn·jy·com

你喜欢什么?你害怕什么?在你的口袋
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)里是什么?这些问题来自电影《一天的生活》。导演凯文·麦克唐纳要求世界各地的人们回答这些问题，并发送一条有代表性一天的视频片段。他对创造一幅世界图景感兴趣，一个未来的数字时间胶囊。2010年7月24日，来自非洲、欧洲、美洲、南极洲和亚洲的人们用手机和数码相机记录下日常琐事并上传到互联网上。总共有81000个视频片段。麦克唐纳和一组研究人员花了7周的时间将其拍成电影。
The
film
starts
at
m
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)idnight.
The
moon
is
high
in
the
sky,
elephants
are
washing
themselves
in
a
river
in
Africa
and
a
baby
is
sleeping.
At
the
same
time,
in
other
parts
of
the
world,
people
are
getting
up,
brushing
their
teeth
and
making
breakfast.
In
the
next
minutes
of
the
one-and-a-half-hour-long
film,
we
watch
everyday
routines
from
more
than
140
different
countries
and
see
the
connections
between
them.
In
one
short
scene
an
American
girl
is
playing
with
her
hula
hoop.
In
another,
a
child
is
working
at
a
shoeshine
stand
in
Peru.
One
looks
well
off,
the
other
is
poor,
but
then
the
shoeshine
boy
shows
us
his
favorite
thing—his
notebook
computer.
He’s
very
proud
of
it
because
he
earned
the
money
to
pay
for
it.www.21-cn-jy.com

电影于午夜开始。月亮高高地挂在天空中
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)，大象在非洲的一条河里洗澡，一个婴儿在睡觉。与此同时，在世界的其他地方，人们起床，刷牙，做早餐。在这部长达一个半小时的影片中，接下来的几分钟，我们将看到来自140多个国家的人们的日常生活，以及它们之间的联系。在一个简短的场景中，一个美国女孩正在玩她的呼啦圈。在另一幅画中，秘鲁的一个小孩在擦鞋摊工作。一个看起来很富裕，另一个很穷，但是后来擦鞋童向我们展示了他最喜欢的东西——他的笔记本电脑。他很自豪，因为是他自己挣钱买来的。【出处：21教育名师】
“We
all
care
about
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)the
same
things,”
says
the
director
and
in
some
ways
he’s
right.
Family
and
friends
are
the
things
most
people
love
and
many
of
them
are
keen
on
sports,
like
football.
But
then
one
man
says
he
loves
his
cat
and
another
loves
his
fridge
because
it
doesn’t
talk
back!
参考译文:
“我们都关心同样的事情，”导演
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)说，在某些方面他是对的。家人和朋友是大多数人所喜欢的，他们中的许多人热衷于运动，比如足球。但是，一个人说他爱他的猫，另一个人说他爱他的冰箱，因为它不会顶嘴!
Monsters,
dogs
and
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)death
are
the
things
most
people
fear.
One
young
girl
is
worried
about
growing
up
and
a
man
in
Antarctica
says,
“I’m
afraid
of
losing
this
place.”
But
when
asked,
“What’s
in
your
pocket?”,
the
answers
are
surprising.
We
don’t
see
an
ID
card,
a
shopping
list,
or
a
bus
ticket.
Instead,
one
person
has
a
paper
towel,
and
another
shows
us
a
button.
A
poor
man
says
he
has
nothing.
He’s
not
ashamed
of
his
poverty—he’s
simply
happy
to
be
alive.
参考译文：
怪物、狗和死亡是大多数人害怕的东西。一个年
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)轻的女孩担心长大，一个在南极洲的男人说:“我害怕失去这个地方。但是当被问到“你口袋里有什么?”，答案令人惊讶。我们看不到身份证、购物清单或公交车票。相反，一个人拿着纸巾，另一个人给我们看一枚纽扣。穷人说他一无所有。他并不为自己的贫穷感到羞耻——他仅因为能活着就感到高兴了。
The
film
ends
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)just
before
midnight,
with
a
young
woman
in
her
car.
It’s
raining
outside
and
she’s
recording
a
short
clip
on
her
phone.
“I
just

she
says.

matters.
参考译文：
电影在午夜前结束，一个年轻的女人在她的
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)车里。外面下着雨，她正在用手机录一段短片。“我只是想让人们知道我在这里，”她说。换句话说，她想表明她的生命很重要。

Life
in
a
Day
is
a
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)film
about
the
everyday
lives
of
people
in
different
countries.
The
director
Kevin
Macdonald
is
interested
in
a
picture
of
the
world
as
a
time
capsule
for
the
future.
He
asked
people
around
the
world
to
film
a
short
of
their
daily
routines
on
a
day.
He
also
asked
them
to
answer
three
question
about
what
they
love,
what
they
fear,
and
what
they
have
in
their
pockets.
He
received
81,000
video
in
all,
which
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)were
recorded
on
mobile
phones
or
cameras.
Then,
he
and
his
team
turned
them
into
a
film.
The
scenes
are
well
and
deal
with
topics,
such
as
people’s
cares
and
worries,
their
fears
and
their
feelings
about
some
seemingly
and
unimportant
things
in
life.
The
film
expresses
a
clear
message
people
around
the
world
are
living
different
lives,
and
each
of
them
is
unique.
But
they
have
one
thing
in
common:
they
all
try
to
find
meanings
in
those
everyday
—this
is
what
really
.

A:
What
does
the
film-maker
want

He
may
want
to
show
that
it’s
the

ReasonsI
think
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)that
the
people

would
find
it
surprising
that
there
is
a
human
teacher
standing
in
the
front
and
talking
to
so
many
students
at
the
same
time.
By
then,
there
might

Reporter:
What
does
UNICEF
do?
Li
Zhen:
UNICEF
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)
is
an
international
organization.
Its
goal
is
to
protect
the
rights
of
children
and
to
make
sure
that
every
child
receives
health
care
and
education.
A
lot
of
importan
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)t
work
is
being
done
by
UNICEF
and
its
partners.
We
are
always
doing
our
best
to
improve
the
lives
of
children
around
the
world.
The
organization
has
offices
in
most
countries.
I’m
mainly
working
in
the
UNICEF
China
office
in
Beijing,
but
I
do
travel
a
lot.
A
large
number
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)
of
activities
are
being
organized
by
different
UNICEF
offices
and
partner
organizations.
Because
of
this,
I’m
always
in
touch
with
other
offices
to
find
out
about
new
projects.
Reporter:
What
kind
of
programme
is
currently
being
implemented?
Li
Zhen:
UNICEF
has
a
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)n
Early
Childhood
Development
programme
to
help
children
between
the
ages
of
three
and
six.
Kids
that
age
are
too
young
to
start
school,
but
they’re
not
too
young
to
start
learning.
Through
our
community
programmes,
children
are
playing
and
learning
at
the
same
time.
Parents
love
these
programmes.
Reporter:
What
are
your
plans
for
today
at
the
office?
Li
Zhen:
Well,
these
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)are
several
things
on
my
schedule.
A
big
conference
will
be
held
in
Beijing
next
week.
My
team
is
preparing
to
talk
about
our
projects.
I’m
also
writing
a
report
for
the
UNICEF
office
in
New
York.
Several
plans
are
being
developed
to
improve
school
quality
in
small
town
far
from
any
big
cities.
My
report
explains
some
of
our
goals
and
what
we’re
doing
to
achieve
them.
And
later
this
afterno
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)on,
I’ll
take
part
in
a
meeting
about
UNICEF’s
e-learning
project
for
parents.
That
programme
supports
Chinese
parents
who
are
living
and
working
far
away
from
their
children.

In
parts
of
C
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)hina
many
children
are
living
with
grandparents
or
relatives.
Where
are
these
children’s
parents?
They
(work)
far
from
their
homes
and
families.
Many
of
these
parents
are
only
back
home
for
a
few
days
each
year
to
see
their
children.
This
kind
of
life
is
hard
for
the
children
and
hard
for
the
parents
as
well.
Luckily,
programmes
(set
up)
to
help
them.
UNICEF
(work)
together
with
local
organizations
to
provide
support
for
families
with
left-behind
children.
Today,

(use)
to
deliver
useful
information
to
parents.
The
UNICEF
e-
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)learning
project
is
one
such
programme.
Every
day,
thousands
of
parents
watch
short
videos,
take
quizzes,
or
read
informative
cartoons
that
inspire
and
educate
them
about
parenting
through
online
apps.
Some
apps
(develop),and
some
are
already
in
use.
And
they
provide
useful
tips
for
many
families.

Dear
Teens,
I’ve
been
at
senior
high
for
about
two
weeks
and
I
love
it.
Many
things
here
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)
are
different
from
those
in
my
junior
high
school.The
school
is
larger.It
has
so
many
buildings
that
I
still
love
my
way
sometimes.We
have
more
classes
and
the
subjects
are
much
more
difficult
than
before.Unlike
the
teachers
in
junior
high,teachers
here
don’t
set
a
lot
of
rules,so
we
have
more
freedom.There
are
more
school
clubs
and
activities.I
have
joined
the
basketball
club
and
the
guitar
club.The
biggest
difference
is
that
my
senior
high
school
is
a
boarding
school.I
live
in
the
school
dorm
during
the
week.I
miss
my
family
sometimes,but
I
get
on
well
with
my
roommates,and
I’m
learning
how
to
live
away
from
home.
Other
things
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)
are
the
same.Students
here
are
as
friendly,as
those
in
the
junior
high
school.I’ve
made
some
friends
here
and
we
play
basketball
after
school
together—just
like
before.
Next
week,we’re
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)
going
to
have
the
school
Art
Festival.I’m
playing
the
guitar
for
my
class
and
I’m
excited
bout
that!
I
like
life
her
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)e.So
much
is
new,challenging
and
fun.I
know
I’ll
enjoy
the
next
three
years
here.
Yours,
Li

People
who
live
in
a
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)
particular
area
may
share
a
similar
lifestyle.This
is
what
we
call
culture.We
need
to
learn
how
to
understand
other
cultures,and
get
to
know
their
history
and
societies.In
this
section,you
will
first
read
a
passage
about
how
to
study
culture.You
will
then
watch
a
video
about
Irish
immigration
to
the
USA.
1.Read
the
passage
to
learn
how
to
study
culture.
How
to
study
culture
Culture
means
a
way
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)
of
life
for
a
particular
group
of
people.It
can
be
studied
in
terms
of
four
cultural
elements—cultural
objects,cultural
festivals
or
celebrations,cultural
behaviours
and
cultural
ideas.
A
cultural
object
us
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)ually
refers
to
a
thing
that
is
closely
related
to
a
particular
culture.Chinese
knots,lanterns
and
dragon
boats
are
examples
of
Chinese
culture.
A
cultural
fes
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)tival/celebration
usually
refers
to
an
event
where
the
traditions
of
a
particular
people
or
place
are
celebrated.Some
Chinese
examples
include
the
Spring
Festival,the
National
Day
(1
October)
and
the
Mid-Autumn
Festival.
A
cultural
b
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)ehaviour
usually
refers
to
a
way
of
doing
a
particular
thing
that
is
shard
by
other
members
of
that
group
or
community.For
example,the
way
you
introduce
yourself
to
new
people,eat
your
meal,or
even
the
way
you
speak
in
public.
A
cultural
idea
refe
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)rs
to
an
understanding
of
the
world
that
typically
reflects
the
way
of
thinking
in
a
particular
culture.For
example,there
are
ideas
about
wealth,family,and
attitudes
towards
one’s
elders
in
almost
every
culture
in
the
world.Yet,people
from
different
cultures
view
these
things
from
different
perspectives.In
China,for
example,respect
for
older
people
is
of
much
greater
importance
than
in
some
other
countries.
2.Work
in
groups.Co
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)me
up
with
two
examples
for
each
type
of
cultural
element
below.
