Ann:Did you see the movie Children of Men?

你看過《人類之子》這部電影嗎？

Lily:Yes, I watch it when it was first released in this country, but I don’t like it very much.

看過了，當(dāng)它在中國首映時(shí)就看過了。但是我不怎么喜歡它。

Ann:Why, I think it’s a great movie.

為什么呢？我覺得它是部很棒的電影啊。

Lily:I don’t like movies that describe the dark side of the world. And the movie makes me feel despaired. It seems that the world is hopeless.

我不喜歡那種講述世界黑暗面的電影。而且這部電影讓我覺得很絕望，這世界好像都沒希望了。

Ann:I don’t think so. I think it’s hopeful, and the baby is the hope. If it’s really hopeless, then the baby should never appear.

我可不這么認(rèn)為，我覺得它是充滿希望的，那個(gè)小孩就是希望。如果真的是沒希望的話，那么那個(gè)小孩就不應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)。

Lily:So you understand the point of the movie?

那么你是明白這部電影要講什么咯?

Ann:Yeah, I think the movie wants to tell people that we should cherish and protect our Earth, or the end of the world would come very soon.

嗯，我覺得這部電影是想告訴人們要珍惜和保護(hù)我們的地球，否則世界末日很快就來臨。

Lily:It sounds reasonable.

聽起來還蠻有道理的。

Ann:I also quite appreciate the director’s excellent camera technique. The use of long take shows the good command of camera technique.

我也很欣賞導(dǎo)演高超的攝像技術(shù)。長鏡頭顯示出了對攝影技術(shù)良好的掌控。

Lily:Yeah. Though I don’t like the movie very much, the camera technique is really shocking.

對啊，盡管我不是很喜歡這部電影，它的攝影技術(shù)確實(shí)很驚人。
