地道美語聽力播客712: 觀看特效（雙語）

Chrissy: Wow, that movie was amazing, but I can’t believe that they blew up the Eiffel Tower. I bet the French are really pissed.

克麗絲：哇噢，那部電影太讓人驚奇了，但是我不相信他們吹氣弄出一個(gè)埃菲爾鐵塔，我肯定法國人一定很憤怒。

Jack: You’re kidding, right? They didn’t really blow up the Eiffel Tower. They used special effects to make it look that way.

杰克：你在開玩笑，是嗎?他們真沒有充氣弄出埃菲爾鐵塔，不過他，們運(yùn)用特效弄出那樣的效果。

Chrissy: Are you sure? It really looked like the real thing.

克麗絲：你肯定?它確實(shí)看起來如同實(shí)物。

Jack: They used a scale model or a computer- generated image of the Eiffel Tower and added some pyrotechnics or other visual effects to create what you saw on the screen. It’s like a big optical illusion. I can’t believe you really thought they blew up the Eiffel Tower.

杰克：他們用一個(gè)大的埃菲爾鐵塔模型或者用電腦設(shè)計(jì)出埃菲爾鐵塔的形象，然后增添一些煙火技術(shù)或者其他視覺效果創(chuàng)造出屏幕上的形象。就像一個(gè)大幻覺形象，不敢相信你真的認(rèn)為他們充氣吹出個(gè)埃菲爾鐵塔。

Chrissy: Oh no, I didn’t. I was just kidding. But you have to admit that it was pretty cool that they got the real president of the United States to kill that monster, right?

克麗絲：哦，不，我沒有，只是開玩笑。但是你得承認(rèn)他們讓美國總統(tǒng)殺死怪物，這點(diǎn)確實(shí)很酷，不是嗎?

Jack: You must be messing with my mind again. That wasn’t the president. That was an actor wearing prosthetics and makeup standing in front of a green screen. They added the monster later in post- production.

杰克：你一定又在跟我開玩笑了，那個(gè)不是總統(tǒng)。那只是一個(gè)演員穿著道具、化妝后站在一個(gè)綠色的大屏幕前面。后期制作時(shí)增加了一個(gè)怪物。

Chrissy: Oh, right, sure. But you have to hand it to them for moving a section of the Great Wall of China to New York City, right?

克麗絲：哦，是的，那當(dāng)然，但是你不得不稱贊他們把中國長城的一部分搬到紐約，對(duì)嗎?

Jack: Oh, boy...

杰克：哦，天哪…….
