現(xiàn)代人更喜歡去電影院還是看視頻觀影

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論看電影方式，
 
看電影的方式有很多，現(xiàn)代人更喜歡去電影院還是看視頻觀影
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: So, how do people see these movies? I mean are there movie theaters or is it mainly straight to video or what's the main way?
 
人們會(huì)選擇哪種觀影方式？他們是去電影院還是直接看視頻？哪種是主要方式？
 
B: Most of it is actually straight to video like you said because now internet and computers are everywhere. So a lot of these movies are produced by companies around in big cities and then they're sold to local sellers. And because buying DVDs is so cheap, anybody can get them. And through ... they put a lot of posters out when a movie comes out, the producers or the movie company, they put a lot of posters out so everyone knows it's out. And if it's something that's really good, through word of mouth very quickly, everyone knows that, "Oh my gosh, have you seen this movie, have you seen so and so movie?" One movie that came out maybe six ... this is a little old but this was Jennifer, it's what the movie was called, and it hadn't been out say a month or two, the whole country knew about this movie and if you were anybody you had seen it, so things like that. So usually through DVDs you buy one, you like it, you recommend it to your friend. If you don't have it anymore, if it's scratched they go buy one and everyone, quickly everyone sees it.
 
大多數(shù)人會(huì)直接看視頻，因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在網(wǎng)絡(luò)和計(jì)算機(jī)非常普及。大城市的電影公司制作的許多電影都會(huì)賣給當(dāng)?shù)氐慕?jīng)銷商。因?yàn)镈VD非常便宜，所有人都買得起。在電影出版以后，制作方或者電影公司會(huì)發(fā)布許多海報(bào)，這樣所有人都知道電影要發(fā)布了。如果這是一部非常棒的電影，那大家就會(huì)迅速口口相傳，所有人都會(huì)知道這部電影，“哦我的天哪，你看這部電影了嗎？你看XXXX電影了嗎？”一部電影發(fā)布后……這部電影可能有點(diǎn)老了，不過(guò)《Jennifer》這部電影在發(fā)布一兩個(gè)月以后，整個(gè)國(guó)家都知道了這部電影，或者人們會(huì)互相詢問(wèn)有沒(méi)有看過(guò)這部電影。通常你買DVD之后，如果你喜歡這部電影，你就會(huì)推薦給朋友。如果你買的DVD找不到了或是損壞了，那你的朋友就會(huì)去買DVD看，這樣很快所有人都會(huì)看這部電影。
 
A: Wow! So word of mouth?
 
哇哦！口口相傳？
 
B: Word of mouth, I would say.
 
對(duì)，口口相傳。
 
A: Awesome.
 
真不錯(cuò)。
 
B: Yes.
 
對(duì)。
 
A: So is this movie industry really big for the whole continent or is it just pretty much just, you know, a Nigerian following?
 
那尼日利亞電影業(yè)是在整個(gè)非洲大陸都受歡迎，還是就尼日利亞是這樣？
 
B: I would actually say, it's big for not just Nigerians. There are lots of Nigerians in the diaspora, in England, in America, in other countries so those people they hear about the movies from reading the internet and they watch on the internet or they buy it when they go home to Nigeria. Other countries, I mentioned earlier that a lot of Nigerian artists are collaborating with artists from Ghana and other neighboring countries. So through that too, a lot of Ghanaians watch Nigerian movies and vice versa. There are Jamaicans who watch Nigerian movies because there's an element to it, it just ... at the beginning, you may not like it but the more you watch of them, they becomes ... they grow on you, so to speak, that you just get sucked in, so I've heard of people they watch and there are so many of them, you could watch one a day for a whole year and not be done because they just keep producing them, producing them, producing them, so they have a huge following all over, mainly West Africa and for Nigerians in other parts of the world they watch them. And I've heard of some South Africans watching them as well, so probably over the continent. But Nollywood specifically is known all over the world.
 
不僅是在尼日利亞受歡迎。尼日利亞人非常分散，有很多尼日利亞人生活在英國(guó)、美國(guó)和其他國(guó)家，這些人在網(wǎng)上看到尼日利亞電影的消息后，會(huì)在網(wǎng)上觀看或是回尼日利亞時(shí)買DVD看。我之前提到過(guò)，尼日利亞藝人和許多國(guó)家進(jìn)行合作，比如他們會(huì)和來(lái)自加納和其他鄰國(guó)的藝人合作。這樣一來(lái)，就有許多加納人會(huì)觀看尼日利亞電影，有很多尼日利亞人觀看加納電影。另外，牙買加人也會(huì)看尼日利亞電影，因?yàn)槟崛绽麃喌碾娪坝羞@種特色，一開(kāi)始你可能不喜歡，但是你看的越多，你就會(huì)越感興趣，可以說(shuō)你會(huì)被吸引，我聽(tīng)說(shuō)尼日利亞的電影非常多，如果你一天看一部電影，那一整年都看不完，因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)诓粩嗟刂谱麟娪?，所以可以說(shuō)尼日利亞電影在西非很受歡迎，世界其他地區(qū)的尼日利亞人也看這些電影。我聽(tīng)說(shuō)一些南非國(guó)家也會(huì)看尼日利亞電影，所以可能在整個(gè)非洲大陸都受歡迎。奈萊塢在全世界都很出名。
 
A: Oh, that's so cool. So can you recommend some movies? I totally want to see them, I'm going to be like searching YouTube. I really want to see one.
 
哦，這真酷。你能推薦幾部電影嗎？我很想看尼日利亞電影，我要去優(yōu)兔網(wǎng)上搜索一下。我想看。
 
B: So first time, when you want to get started, I would say Google or check YouTube for Jennifer. It's an interesting movie about a girl that goes from the village, so I think it shows Nigerian history, human relationships and also our values. It's about a girl that goes from the village by chance, she's able to go to a top university and she completely changes. Instead of keeping her family value of humility, she starts chasing rich men and like her friends that she meets in the big city, just to get more money, so she focuses less on her studies and more on getting money. But unfortunately she chases the wrong people, she gets AIDS and that leads to her downfall. So these movies, although they're very high in entertainment value they also have very good educational lessons or messages behind them too. So I would definitely recommend, Jennifer to start off with.
 
如果你第一次看尼日利亞電影，我建議你在谷歌或優(yōu)兔網(wǎng)上找《Jennifer》這部電影。這是一部有意思的電影，講述了一個(gè)來(lái)自農(nóng)村的女孩的故事，我認(rèn)為這部電影展現(xiàn)了尼日利亞的歷史、人際關(guān)系和價(jià)值觀。一個(gè)來(lái)自農(nóng)村的女孩偶然進(jìn)入了一所頂級(jí)大學(xué)，然后她完全改變了。她沒(méi)有保持她家謙虛的價(jià)值觀，她開(kāi)始為了有更多錢而追逐有錢人，就像她在大城市遇到的那些朋友一樣，她的注意力不再放在學(xué)業(yè)上，而是將更多精力放在掙錢上。但是不幸的是，她追錯(cuò)了人，她感染了艾滋病，這最終導(dǎo)致了她的崩潰。這些電影雖然具有非常高的娛樂(lè)價(jià)值，但同時(shí)也具備非常好的教育意義。如果你剛接觸尼日利亞電影，我一定要推薦你看《Jennifer》。
 
A: Oh, I'd definitely check it out. Thanks.
 
哦，我一定會(huì)看的。謝謝。
