聊一聊動畫片的歷史，哪些類型的動畫片受歡迎

來聽今天的講解:

A:Hi! Do you need some help?

你好！需要幫忙嗎？

B: Yes, thanks. It's my friend's birthday next week and he loves Japanese cartoon and comic books, But, to be honest I know very little about it! Could you help me to choose something he would like?

是的，謝謝。下周是我朋友的生日，他喜歡日本卡通畫和連環(huán)漫畫冊。可是，說實話,我對這些了解很少！你能幫我選些他喜歡的東西嗎？

A: No problem. I'm an expert in this area, which we call "Anime".

沒問題。我是這方面的專家，我們把這些叫“動畫片”。

B: "Anime?" Yes, I've heard my friend talk about this. I had no idea he meant cartoons!

“動畫片”？對，我聽我朋友說起過。我不知道他指的是“卡通片”！

A: Anime began a long time ago, the first short pieces were made in 1917, but thcsc were mainly folk tales. Nothing like the anime we get today. rt then developed into westem-style humour during the 1930s and then on to giants, robors and outer spacc adventures .

動畫片在很早以前就有了，第一個短片完成于1917年，但這些主要是民間傳說，和我們今天看到的動畫片一點也不一佯。后來20世紀(jì)30年代發(fā)展成西方的幽默風(fēng)格，接著又發(fā)展成巨人、機器人和太空探險片。

B: Yes, my friend watches a cartoon about robots and strange cars and things like that.

是的，我朋友就看這些關(guān)于機器人和奇怪的汽車之類的片子。

A: These types of anime are very popular nowadays, with both children and adults. He probably enjoys the ones which started in the 1980s and were made by Miyazaki and Takahata, these are the most popular ones  Have you heard of the movie Aleira? That was made in 1988, and is still very popular today.

這類動畫片現(xiàn)在很流行，孩子和大人都愛看。他大概是喜歡那些20世紀(jì)8０年代開始出現(xiàn)的片子，由官崎峻’和高松信司制作的，這些都賣得最火。你聽說過電影《亞基拉》嗎？那是1988年制作的影片，如今還是很受歡迎。

B: Yes! My friend loves that mowe.

沒錯！我朋友喜歡那部影片i

A: But, before you decide I have many other things to show you. Over here, we have some " Manga"  items.  Manga was first created in 1815  by a woodblock artist called Hokusai and means "unintentional drawings". Manga is much more graphic than usual anime, but there are different styles for different ages and sexes. It can be very violent. We've got videos, DVDs, VCDs and comics.

不過我還有很多東西給你看，看了以后你再決定。在那邊，我們還有一些漫畫。一開始，漫畫是由一個叫葛飾北齋的木版畫藝術(shù)家發(fā)明的，意思是“無意識畫”。它比一般的動畫要生動細(xì)致，但風(fēng)格兇讀者群的年齡和性別的不同而有所區(qū)別。有些漫畫內(nèi)容可能會很暴力。我們這兒還有錄像帶、DVD、VCD和連環(huán)畫。

A: OK, great. What would you suggest?

那太好了。你有什么建議？

B: Today's manga has many different genres. Such as joke-books, melodrama and science ficoon. I think your friend would love some sci-fi !

如今的漫畫種類很多，有笑話集、劇情片和科幻片。我覺得你朋友會喜歡一些科幻片。

A: Yes, sci-fi seems like a good idea. Which one do you suggest?

是這樣，買科幻片這個主意好像不錯。你建議買哪個？

B: This one. Basilisk: The Kouga N'inja Scrolls. It follows the war between two ninja clans, which have had a truce for 400 years.But suddenly, they begain fighting again. It's very popular.

買這個《甲賀忍法貼》。故事描述的是日本兩個忍者派系之間的斗爭。他們休戰(zhàn)了400年，但突然又開始打了起來。這部影片賣得非常好。

A: Excellent!  I'II take it. Thanks very much for all of your help.

太棒了！我買了、非常感謝你的幫助。
