動畫片《巴布工程師》設計師Curtis Jobling全國巡回

Allenbourn Middle School, in Wimborne, has played host to the author, illustrator, designer and animator Curtis Jobling.

作家、插畫家、設計師以及動畫設計師Curtis Jobling來到了英國溫伯恩鎮(zhèn)的Allenbourn中學。

While some may not be familiar with his fantasy books for teenagers, they will almost certainly have come across Bob the Builder, for which he did all the designs.

有的人可能不熟悉他的青少年系列幻想類的書籍，但是要他們一定看過《巴布工程師》，Curtis Jobling擔任這部動畫的設計。

An audience of several hundred children from Years 6 and 7, as well as pupils from St Michael's Middle School, in Wimborne, watched entranced as Bob, Wendy and Spud came to life in front of their eyes.

幾百名6到7歲的小觀眾們，以及來自圣邁克爾中學的學生們看的聚精會神，因為巴布、溫蒂還有稻草人Spud活生生地出現(xiàn)在了他們得眼前。

Curtis gave the children a potted history of animation, from Walt Disney to the modern computer-generated films by companies such as Pixar, and stop-frame classics like Wallace and Gromit, where ten seconds of film is a good day's work.

Curtis簡單的給孩子們介紹了動畫片的歷史，從迪士尼到現(xiàn)代利用電腦技術制作電影的公司例如皮克斯，并且也向孩子們介紹了一些經(jīng)典影片如《超級無敵掌門狗。電影中幾秒的一個畫面可能要花費一天的時間。

He urged his audience to keep up with their hobbies, whatever they might be, as doing what you love can end up making you a living, too.

他督促各位小觀眾們，無論自己擁有什么樣的喜好，一定要保持。因為做你自己喜歡的事情最終也可以掙錢。

"I loved drawing, and my favourite book was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. I love history too," he said, going on to talk about his new series of fantasy stories, The World of Warriors.

“我喜歡畫畫，我最喜歡的書籍是Maurice Sendak編著的《野獸冒險樂園》”Curtis說道。然后他又談論自己新一系列的幻想動畫《勇士的世界》。

They are based in a fantasy world, but peopled by some of the greatest warriors from history, such as Vikings, Romans, Samurai and Aztecs.

這部系列動畫的背景是一個幻想的世界，但是那里居住著一些歷史上最偉大的勇士，例如維京人、羅馬人、日本武士還有阿茲特克人。

Curtis ended by signing copies of his latest book, A New Hero.

最后Curtis在自己最新著作《新英雄》簽名。

His visit was the first in a nationwide tour.
