AZUZ: Number one movie at the U.S. box office right now was "San Andreas". It`s a disaster film starring a massive earthquake. It also stars the Rock, so that`s kind of a built-in fun. But exactly how realistic is this work of fiction.
AZUZ:當(dāng)前,《末日崩塌》席卷美國(guó)票房,這是一部以地震為題材的災(zāi)難片。主要是關(guān)于巖石斷層,這也算是電影里面的一個(gè)小樂(lè)子吧。但是確切的來(lái)說(shuō),是里面真實(shí)的電影特效。
CNN`s Jeanne Moos spoke to a seismologist.
CNN記者珍妮·穆斯對(duì)話地震學(xué)家。
JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT : A tsunami bearing down on a Golden Gate Bridge, skyscrapers collapsing.
珍妮·穆斯,CNN記者:海嘯逼近金門(mén)大橋,摩天大樓即將倒塌
Can`t fault an earthquake blockbuster for going a little overboard.
千萬(wàn)不能錯(cuò)過(guò)了這個(gè)地震題材的大片。
And before it falls through the cracks, CNN and the film studio are both owned by Time Warner.
在上映之前,CNN及電影制片廠都屬于時(shí)代華納旗下
How does a seismologist size up "San Andreas"?
地震學(xué)家如何看待這部電影?
GRAHAM KENT, DIRECTOR, NEVADA SEISMOLOGICAL LABORATORY: I would definitely give it two thumbs up. It had me on the edge of my seat.
格雷厄姆·肯特,導(dǎo)演,內(nèi)華達(dá)地震實(shí)驗(yàn)室:我絕對(duì)要給兩個(gè)贊。這部電影整個(gè)過(guò)程都讓我很緊張。
MOOS: And the tsunami really had scientists rolling their eyes.
穆斯:里面的海嘯也讓科學(xué)家們瞪大了眼睛。
KENT: Oh, it`s way too big.
肯特:海嘯的規(guī)模太夸張了.
MOOS: It`s all a question of magnitude, 9.6, according to the movie. But the San Andreas Fault isn`t deep or long enough to generate that big of a quake. Two cities get hit.
穆斯:這部電影是關(guān)于一場(chǎng)9.6級(jí)的地震。但是圣地列安斯斷層震源不深,范圍也不夠大而不會(huì)造成那么大的震動(dòng)。只有兩個(gè)城市受到?jīng)_擊。
MOOS: Could you lose both cities, San Francisco and L.A.?
穆斯:難道舊金山和洛杉磯要覆滅嗎?
KENT: I think it`s highly, highly, highly unlikely.
肯特:我認(rèn)為可能性不大。
MOOS: Could the Hoover Dam collapse?
穆斯:胡佛水壩也會(huì)坍塌嗎?
KENT: No. I think the Hoover Dam is safe. You know, we all laughed at that scene and said, "There is water behind the Hoover Dam?"
肯特:不,我認(rèn)為胡佛水壩很安全。我們都拿那個(gè)場(chǎng)景開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō):“胡佛水壩后面就會(huì)有水了”
MOOS: That`s a little dry humor about the drought.
穆斯:這是一個(gè)關(guān)于干旱的冷笑話。
Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones posed with the Rock at the premier live- tweeted scientific inaccuracies.
地震學(xué)家露西·瓊斯博士在首映時(shí)評(píng)價(jià)其中的巖石斷層并且現(xiàn)場(chǎng)發(fā)布推特稱(chēng)這是科學(xué)錯(cuò)誤。
When the Rock approaches the gaping fault like, Dr. Jones tweeted, "OMG! A chasm? If the fault could open up, there`d be no friction. With no friction, there`d be no earthquake."
當(dāng)巖石到達(dá)張開(kāi)斷層,瓊斯博士的推文中寫(xiě)道:“OMG!斷層?如果斷層可以打開(kāi),就沒(méi)有摩擦。沒(méi)有摩擦,就沒(méi)有地震。
But there`s one thing the scientists love.
但是電影里面有一件事是科學(xué)家們鐘愛(ài)的。
The movie repeats the "duck, cover and hold on" mantra experts recommend.
這部電影一直在強(qiáng)調(diào)的“伏倒、掩護(hù)和抓住”是專(zhuān)家們推崇的。
And if it makes people prepare, what is a little earthquake earthquakery.
如果它讓人有所準(zhǔn)備,這就是小的地震會(huì)引發(fā)大地震。
AZUZ: So, maybe there`s a little cinemagic here and there that seemed too special effective for seismologist who decides it didn`t size up. But as long as the science is deafening, it`s certainly something Hollywood approve of.
AZUZ:所以,也許有點(diǎn)藝術(shù)效果,但對(duì)決定不做判斷的地震學(xué)家而言似乎特別有效。但只要不在乎科學(xué)事實(shí),這還是一部好萊塢標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的大片。
