Pst-reading
1. Why d audiences always have the feeling f “the film is nt like the bk”?2. What factrs shuld be taken int cnsideratin when adapting bks int films?3. What is the authr’s pinin at the end abut adapted films? Highlight the evidence in the article. D yu agree with the authr’s pint f view? Why r why nt?
Think and share.
1. Why d audiences always have the feeling f “the film is nt like the bk”? Because the film’s length is abut tw hurs. Screenwriters take creative liberty and smetimes there may be changes t the plt, additins, and even different endings t please prducers, directrs and test audiences.2. What factrs shuld be taken int cnsideratin when adapting bks int films? The selectin f casts, the use f technlgy and the screenwriters shuld be cnsidered when adapting films frm bks.
3. What is the authr’s pinin at the end abut adapted films? Highlight the evidence in the article. D yu agree with the authr’s pint f view? Why r why nt? The authr is negative abut it, because he says that “it is always a bad idea t watch a film f a bk yu lve”.
P1.Reading a bk and watching a film are tw very different experiences, but it's nrmal t have high expectatins when a film f a favurite bk is made.读书和看电影是两种截然不同的体验。如果人们最喜欢的书籍被翻拍成电影,他们对电影的期待值自然更高,这种现象很正常。
There are many times I have been pessimistic abut r even disappinted by a film f a bk I lve. 不止一次,我喜欢的书籍拍成电影,我都不看好,甚至很失望。
be pessimistic abut 对悲观
prings t mind 想到
Althugh highly regarded bks d nt always make gd films, it is safe t say that great films may be made frm nt particularly gd bks.(The Gdfather immediately springs t mind.)尽管高质量的书并不总是能拍出好看的电影,优秀的电影也可能来自不是那么好的书,说的倒是没错。(这让我马上想到《教父》。)
P2.The surce material fr a film may be taken frm classic nvels, shrt stries, cmic bks and stage plays, as well as nn-fictin such as bigraphies and autbigraphies, even thse written by ghst writers. 一部电影可以取材自经典小说、短篇小说、漫画书、舞台剧,也可以取自传记、自传等非小说作品,甚至是代笔人写的作品。
as well as 也,又;和……一样好,通常连接两个并列成分,而且强调前者;连接两个并列主语时,句中谓语动词遵循就前原则。
All can wrk well, but why d many adaptatins and indeed remakes fail bth cinema audiences and critics? And why d sme adaptatins get lwer ratings than thers?这些素材都可以拍出很棒的作品,但为什么许多改编、翻拍的电影没能受到电影观众与评论家的好评呢?为什么有些改编作品的评分比其他作品低呢?
P3.A key questin is bviusly hw clse t the riginal the film is. Since a typical film is nly arund tw hurs lng, it becmes a questin fr screenwriters t decide what is apprpriate fr the screen and what t leave ut. 显而易见,一个关键的问题在于这部电影与原作接近程度如何。电影通常只有两小时左右,在有限的时间里,编剧要决定书中哪部分适合银幕,哪部分不适合。
be apprpriate t/fr...适合
Screenwriters take creative liberty and smetimes there may be changes t the plt, additins, and even different endings t please prducers, directrs and test audiences.对此编剧有一定的创作自由度,有时为了迎合制片人、导演、观众,会改动部分情节,甚至演绎不同结局。
I, like many peple,have ften left the cinema feeling “the film is nt like the bk".像很多人一样,我也经常在看完电影后感叹“这部电影和原作不一样”。
P4.Anther prblem area is the cast. Finding actrs acceptable t film audiences can mean the difference between success and failure. 另一个问题是演员阵容。找到电影观众所接受的演员,有时决定着电影的成败。
Readers f the bk use their imaginatins t visualise characters and have very definite ideas abut hw characters shuld lk and sund. 读者会通过自己的想象,将书中的人物形象化,对角色的外貌、声音他们都有明确的想法。
This is where I think many film adaptatins fall dwn.我认为选择的演员不符合他们的想象,成为很多电影改编失败的原因。
摔倒;不能令人满意,不够好
P5.Sme bks are just t difficult t be adapted fr technical reasns, althugh films like The Life f Pi are changing this idea. 一些书由于技术原因很难拍成电影,虽然《少年派的奇幻漂流》等电影的出现正在改变这一问题。
CGI (Cmputer Generated Image) technlgy has had a huge impact n the film industry. It allwed the previusly unfilmable t becme a reality.电脑生成动画技术对电影产业有重大影响,让以前无法拍摄的内容成为现实。
have an impact n 对……有影响have an effect/influence n 对……有影响
P6.One may think that it is the bk writer wh is in the best psitin t d film adaptatins. In fact, smetimes authrs are very invlved in the prcess and may even be the screenwriter. 人们可能会认为,最适合改编电影的人应该是书籍作者本人。事实上,作者有时的确会参与改编,甚至可能担任电影编剧。
be invlved in 卷入;参与invlve sb in (ding) sth 使某人参与(做)某事 invlve neself in sth参与/热衷于/沉迷于某事
强调的是人时,可用it 强调句型。
④it指代t adapt t a new frm
This can actually be a disadvantage because they may be t clse t the material and find it difficult t adapt t a new frm. 但这其实是一个弊端,因为作者本人可能过于忠于书中内容,很难将其改编成一种新的形式。
At ther times they are nt, and there are instances where writers have been very unsatisfied with the film versins f their wrk; Stephen King is an example f this. 有时作者本人并不是电影编剧,于是出现了作者对自己作品所拍摄的电影版本非常不满意的情况。史蒂芬•金就是这样。
Even mre extreme was nvelist J. D. Salinger, wh made sure n film versins f his ppular nvel A Catcher in the Rye culd ever be made. 小说家杰罗姆•大卫•塞林格更为极端,他永远不准自己广受欢迎的小说《麦田里的守望者》被拍成电影版本。
In this situatin, it is clear that viewers will nt be disappinted! Fr me, anyway, it is always a bad idea t watch a film f a bk yu lve.如果是这样,读者就永远不会失望!不管怎样,我认为去看自己钟爱的书籍翻拍成的电影不会是个好主意。
⑤it指代viewers will nt be disappinted
P7.Despite the challenges, there have been sme highly successful films made frm ppular bks. Fr me, Jaws, Harry Ptter and The Lrd f the Rings all fit this categry. 尽管挑战重重,还是有一些改编自畅销书的电影取得了极大成功,例如《大白鲨》,《哈利波特》和《指环王》都是成功的案例。
And pssibly the best prf f a successful adaptatin is the James Bnd series , the majrity f which has been adapted frm the 007 nvels f Lan Fleming. 可能最好的证明就是詹姆斯•邦德系列,该系列的大部分作品都改编自伊恩•弗莱明的《007》系列小说。
Perhaps unusually, audiences seem t accept that the actrs wh have played James Bnd have changed s ften, althugh everyne seems t have their favurite, I knw I d.系列影片中詹姆斯•邦德的扮演者经常换人,但观众们似乎也能接受,这让人难以相信。但我相信每位观众和我一样,都有自己最喜欢的那个扮演者。
