第二课 Soundtracks 电影配乐FELTON: I dont agree. I think a soundtrack is very important to a movie. Soundtracks arent boring. I agree that not all soundtracks are great. But movies like Jaws and Superman and Indiana Jones have some of the best action movie soundtracks of all time. 我不同意。我认为电影配乐对电影很重要。电影配乐不无聊。我同意不是所有的电影配乐都很好。但是像大白鲨、超人和夺宝奇兵这种电影一直都有一些最好的动作电影配乐。 FELTON: I think it was genius to use classical music in the science fiction movie 2001: Space Odyssey. Love Story has one of the saddest soundtracks of all dramas. 我认为在2001年的科幻电影太空漫游中使用古典音乐是很聪明的。爱情故事在所有的剧情中都会有段最悲伤的配乐。 IAN: My favorite movies are westerns. The stories are good.

The special effects arent brilliant. Its an old movie, but its a good story. Why the subtitles? We all speak English here, right? 就像是1932年的。特效不是很出色。这是一部老电影，但故事情节非常好。为什么要字幕?我们这里都说英语，对吧？ IAN: I like her. Good actress. 我喜欢她。很棒的女演员。 KEVIN: Really? You think so? No, I dont agree. 真的吗？你是这么认为的吗？不，我不同意。 IAN: Its a really good story. 这真的是个很好的故事。 KEVIN: Its not very original.

The characters are too simple: a good guy and a bad guy. First, theres a town. Ian喜欢西部片。一些西部片很糟糕。情节和场景都是一样的。人物太简单了:就一个好人和一个坏人。首先, 有一个小镇。 KEVIN: Everybodys happy there. Then, the bad guys arrive and then people arent happy anymore. Next, a new sheriff comes to town to help these poor people. Finally, there is a fight in the middle of the town between the new sheriff and the bad people. Guess, who wins? 每个人都幸福地在那里生活着。然后,坏人来了，人们就不再幸福了。接着,一个新的警长来到小镇帮助了这些可怜的人。最后，警长和坏人在小镇中心进行了一场决斗。猜猜谁赢了？ KEVIN: Its so simple, a good guy and a bad guy, good against evil, saving a girl, always a happy ending. I just mean. I prefer dark stories. 太容易了,一个好人和一个坏人, 正义对抗邪恶,拯救了少女,总是大团圆结局。我也是这个意思。我更偏爱阴暗的故事。 第五课 Classical concert 古典音乐会IAN: See you later mate. Date?
