Lily: Hey Marni, have you seen the new Giver trailer?
Marni，你看了《赐予者》的新预告片吗?
Marni: The movie based on the book by Lois Lowry? Actually, you know what, I have seen it. I was surprised with some of the actors in it. They’re pretty big names.
Lois Lowry小说改编的电影吗?我看过。我很惊讶里面有一些非常大牌的演员。
Lily: Yeah, like Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep. You know what? All of the kids…I always imagined them being around 10 or 11.
比如杰夫·布里吉斯和梅丽尔·斯特里普。你知道么，那些小孩。我一直觉得他们在只有10几岁。
Marni: Yeah!
是的。
Lily: They all were 19 years old. They all were almost adults, and it was kind of odd for a children’s book.
在电影里他们都有19岁了，几乎是大人了。这种改编对于一部儿童书来说有点奇怪。
Marni: That is kind of odd. I remember that as well, and I’m just wondering if Hollywood’s trying to capture some of the success of The Hunger Games and tap into more of a YA audience versus younger kids.
的确有点奇怪，我也记得。我怀疑好莱坞想要延续《饥饿游戏》的成功，吸引更多青少年和儿童观众群体。
Lily: Yeah. That’s what it seems like. And actually, a lot of the special effects and stuff, like even the hovercraft and a bunch of the random technical stuff, looked very similar.
就是这样的。里面的很多特效，甚至气垫船和一些技术的东西都看起来很相似。
Marni: Right.
是的。
Lily: It was kind of odd.
这有点奇怪。
Marni: It did. Yeah. That’s a shame.
嗯，有点可惜。
Lily: I would still see it. I liked the book, and I thought it had a lot to say. And I hope the movie does it justice, I guess, because everybody, every kid, reads it just about.
我还是想看这部电影。我喜欢这本书，里面内容很丰富。我希望电影能达到预期效果。因为好像每个小孩都看了这本书。
Marni: It’s true. I’ll definitely go see it with you, and we can critique it.
的确如此，我肯定会和你一起去看，然后评价它。
Lily: OK. Perfect.
很好。
