今天的這段對話,在討論喜劇演員,
你最喜歡的喜劇演員是誰
來聽今天的講解:
A: Alright, we've been watching some comedy lately. I wanna know who your favorite comic is?
我們最近看了幾部喜劇。你最喜歡的喜劇演員是誰?
B: My favorite comic? It's a draw between Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock.
我最喜歡的喜劇演員?戴夫·查佩爾和克里斯·洛克。
A: Is Chris Rock really like, is he still doing something?
克里斯·洛克還有在活動嗎?
B: No, he really hasn't done anything recently, but still like, yeah, he's pretty, a pretty funny guy.
沒有,最近他沒推出什么作品,不過他仍然是非常有趣的人。
A: He it totally funny.
他真的特別搞笑。
B: He's hard to top.
很難有人超越他了。
A: When is the last time he was totally working a lot, though?
他上次說脫口秀是什么時候?
B: It's gotta be maybe five years ago.
應(yīng)該是五年前了。
A: Yeah, it's been awhile.
嗯,有一段時間了。
B: Yeah. Now he's like... I don't even know what he does anymore. Maybe he's an actor now.
對?,F(xiàn)在他……我都不知道現(xiàn)在他在做什么。他可能去演戲了。
A: He's flipping burgers.
也許他去快餐店工作了。
B: Yeah, he has to feed his family.
嗯,畢竟他要養(yǎng)家。
A: Yeah, what about Dave Chappele? What's his deal? He's kind of?
對,戴夫·查佩爾呢?他怎么樣?他的情況呢?
B: Dave Chapelle?
戴夫·查佩爾嗎?
A: He's still working?
他還在說脫口秀嗎?
B: Yeah. Maybe. He was really popular a couple of years ago when he was doing the Chapelle Show, a couple of his stand-ups came out, but...
對,可能吧。幾年前他非常受歡迎,當(dāng)時他在做《查佩爾脫口秀》,出了幾部單口喜劇,不過……
A: Is that finished?
那個節(jié)目完結(jié)了嗎?
B: He...which?
他……哪個?
A: The Chappelle Show.
《查佩爾脫口秀》。
B: It's taking a break or something. What I heard was that he went crazy and he like checked himself into an insane asylum.
節(jié)目可能是暫停之類的。我聽說他瘋了,住進了精神病院。
A: For serious. For real.
真的嗎?
B: Like all the pressure from work was getting to him and stuff. Like he just wanted break.
好像是他承受了太多的工作壓力。他只想休息一下。
A: That's so amazing.
這太不可思議了。
B: Or he ran off to Africa or something.
還有人說他逃到非洲去了。
A: You know what, that is just incredible because, it's like you know, the whole grass is greener concept. It's like, you think if you're a comedian and you're making people laugh all day and you're on stage and you're laughing too that you're probably having fun but at the end of the day, I guess work's work.
這真是難以置信,這就是不滿足于現(xiàn)在的情況。喜劇演員是讓人們發(fā)笑的人,他們在舞臺上表演的時候也會大笑,好像很開心,但實際上每天結(jié)束后,對他們來說這其實就是工作。
B: Yeah, work's work and he was doing, like he mentioned in stand-up he was working maybe 16, 18, 20 hours a day.
對,工作就是工作,就像他在單口喜劇里說的那樣,他一天要工作16或18個小時,甚至是20個小時。
A: Really!
真的嗎?
B: Yeah, so even like hard to study...
對,要努力研究……
A: What was he doing for 20 hours a day?
他一天20個小時都干什么?
B: Uh, like just doing his show. Like I guess it takes a lot of preparation and...
做脫口秀。我想可能需要進行大量的準(zhǔn)備工作……
A: That's crazy.
這太瘋狂了。
B: Even with all the help in the world, I guess he's still, you know, you have to make it quality, so it takes time and effort.
雖然有其他人的幫助,我想他可能仍要花大量的時間,付出很多努力才能保證節(jié)目的質(zhì)量。
A: Yeah.
對。
B: So, even if it is comedy, it might not be fun twenty hours a day.
即使是做喜劇,也不可能一天24小時都開心。
A: I guess that's like the funny thing, you just think if someone's a comedian, it just all comes naturally. It's like it all just comes spur of the moment, but I guess the real thing is that a lot of work goes into it.
一般人們認為對喜劇演員來說,講出搞笑的事情很正常。他們能在一瞬間想到這些點子,但其實為了做出節(jié)目他們有許多工作要做。
B: Yeah, I think so. Like to be creative on a consistent basis is probably isn't the easiest thing in the world.
對,我也這么認為。要一直保持創(chuàng)造力并不是容易的事情。
A: Yeah. I think so. It sure is for me anyways. Are you a Seinfeild fan?
對,我同意。對我來說就是這樣。你喜歡看《宋飛正傳》嗎?
B: Seinfeild...
《宋飛正傳》……
A: Not really. I'm reading your body language.
看來你不太喜歡,我可以從你的身體語言上看出來。
B: No, I did watch a few episodes, here and there, when it was on TV and I was bored, but...
肯:那部劇在電視上播出時,我無聊的時候斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地看過幾集,不過……
A: You're not a big fan?
你并不是很喜歡?
B: Like I started watching it after the show ended like you know when everybody was watching the season finale, like I had never really regularly watched the show and I didn't even catch the season finale, but so, me friends were like, "Did you watch it? Did you watch it?" and I'm like, "No."
我在那部劇完結(jié)以后才開始看,當(dāng)時所有人都看了結(jié)局,可是我基本上還沒怎么看過,而且我也沒有看結(jié)局,我朋友問我你看結(jié)局了嗎?你看了嗎?我回答他說沒有。
A: I think it's brilliant. I think it's incredibly brilliant.
我認為那部劇很精彩,非常非常精彩。
B: Yeah, it's a good show.
對,那是部好劇。
A: Yeah.
對。
