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?它確實看起來如同實物。

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：他們用一個大的埃菲爾鐵塔模型或者用電腦設計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。就像一個大幻覺形象，不敢相信你真的認為他們充氣吹出個埃菲爾鐵塔。

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。但是你得承認他們讓美國總統(tǒng)殺死怪物，這點確實很酷，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，那個不是總統(tǒng)。那只是一個演員穿著道具、化妝后站在一個綠色的大屏幕前面。后期制作時增加了一個怪物。

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，對嗎?

Jack: Oh, boy...

杰克：哦，天哪…….
