今天的這段對話，在討論模擬辯論，
辯論用DVD看電影好還是去電影院看電影好
來聽今天的講解:
A: OK, Mark, I thought we would have a mock-debate.
馬克，我們來進(jìn)行一場模擬辯論吧。
B: OK, sounds good. What are we debating?
好，聽起來不錯。我們辯論的主題是什么？
A: We're going to debate what is better — to watch a movie on DVD or at the cinema?
我們的辯論題目是是用DVD看電影好還是去電影院看電影好？
B: OK, well I would definitely choose DVD.
好，我肯定會選擇用DVD看電影。
A: OK, I would say the cinema. So you go first, why is it better on DVD?
好，那我選擇去電影院看電影更好。你先發(fā)表觀點(diǎn)，你為什么認(rèn)為用DVD看電影更好？
B: I prefer watching movies at home because I can sit on my nice relaxing sofa. I can drink a beer. If I want to lie down on the sofa, I can lie down on the sofa. So in the cinema, you always get somebody at the side of you and they're very noisy eating popcorn or shouting and I can't focus on the movie.
我喜歡在家里看電影，因?yàn)榭梢宰谧约杭沂娣纳嘲l(fā)上。還可以一邊看電影一邊喝啤酒。如果我想躺在沙發(fā)上看電影，那我就可以躺下?？墒窃陔娪霸?，你旁邊總會有吵鬧的人，他們或者在吃爆米花或者大聲喊叫，這種情況讓我無法專心看電影。
A: See, actually, I would agree that's the opposite. When you watch a movie at home. You have family members that interrupt you. The telephone rings. There's always things going on. Where in a movie, usually people are pretty quiet and you can just sit and enjoy the movie.
我同意相反的觀點(diǎn)。在家看電影的時候可能會被其他家人干擾。電話也可能在這個時候響起?？偸菚衅渌虑榘l(fā)生。而在電影院里，一般人們都會安靜地觀賞電影，你只要坐在那里享受電影就行了。
B: Yeah, but you can tell your family members, do not disturb and switch the telephone off and then you can watch it. Also, I think recently with the quality of the TV's, it's a lot better now to watch at home, for example you've got the plasma screen TV with the surround sound. It's just like being in the movie theater.
對，不過你可以告訴家人不要打擾你，把電話關(guān)機(jī)，然后好好欣賞電影。另外，我認(rèn)為以現(xiàn)在電視的質(zhì)量來說，在家里看電影要好很多，可以用帶有環(huán)繞音響系統(tǒng)的等離子電視看電影，那就像在電影院看電影一樣。
A: Yeah, I don't know. There's something about — I like to a movie, and when you watch a movie at the cinema, you get the bigger screen. Usually nowadays the cinemas have higher quality sound. You've got your popcorn, your hot dog. It's kind of a sense of excitement. When you sit down to watch a movie at home there's not a sense of excitement.
嗯，我不這么認(rèn)為。我喜歡去電影院看電影，電影院的屏幕更大?，F(xiàn)在電影院的音響質(zhì)量更好。還可以一邊吃爆米花或熱狗一邊看電影。而且在電影院看電影會有一種興奮的感覺，在家里看電影就沒有這種興奮感。
B: Right, well, I agree that the movie theater has improved. For example recently they've got the beautiful comfortable chair. I live in Japan now, and in Japan you can get a beer at the movie theater. Can you get a beer in America?
好，我同意電影院的質(zhì)量提高了?，F(xiàn)在電影院的椅子又漂亮又舒服。我現(xiàn)在在日本生活，在日本的電影院看電影可以喝啤酒。在美國可以喝啤酒嗎？
A: No, I don't think so.
不能，應(yīng)該是不能。
B: No, you can't in England as well. I like to drink a beer when I'm watching a movie. So the movie theater has improved, but you have to go to the theater. What happens if it's raining, you don't want to go. If it's snowing, you don't want to go. Whereas at home, now you don't need to the DVD store. You can get them via your TV, right. Just press the magic button.
是不能，同樣在英國也不可以。我喜歡一邊喝啤酒一邊看電影。雖然電影院的環(huán)境有所提高，但是還是要前往電影院去觀看。如果遇到下雨天，你就不會想去電影院了。如果下雪，你肯定也不想去。而現(xiàn)在在家看電影，已經(jīng)不需要去DVD店買光盤了。你可以在電視上看電影，只要按下那個神奇的按鈕就行了。
A: True. So the question is, do you think there will even be cinemas is say twenty years, thirty years?
沒錯?，F(xiàn)在問題是，你認(rèn)為二十年或者三十年以后還有電影院存在嗎？
B: Well, I've noticed in the last ten years, that the small cinemas in the cities have usually closed, and they're moving out of town to the big multiplexes.
嗯，我注意到，過去十年城市里的小型電影院已經(jīng)相繼關(guān)閉，現(xiàn)在的趨勢是在郊區(qū)建設(shè)多銀幕影院。
A: Right.
對。
B: So the number of cinemas has reduced in the past ten years, I think, and it will probably continue to do that. We got a home cinema now. And people are buying huge screen TV's or they are getting all the latest technology in their home. It's cheap enough to buy now, so I'd probably say that cinemas will be no longer in about ten years.
我認(rèn)為過去十年電影院的數(shù)量在逐漸減少，而且這種情況很可能會持續(xù)下去。我們現(xiàn)在有家庭影院。人們還可以買大屏幕電視，在家里就可以獲得各種先進(jìn)技術(shù)。現(xiàn)在家庭影院和大屏幕電視的價格很便宜，所以我認(rèn)為十年以后可能就沒有電影院了。
A: Ten years!
十年！
B: Yeah.
對。
A: Well, I hope they don't go away too fast cause I still like them.
我希望電影院不要這么快消失，我還是很喜歡去電影院看電影的。
