聊一聊动画片的历史，哪些类型的动画片受欢迎

来听今天的讲解:

A:Hi! Do you need some help?

你好！需要帮忙吗？

B: Yes, thanks. It's my friend's birthday next week and he loves Japanese cartoon and comic books, But, to be honest I know very little about it! Could you help me to choose something he would like?

是的，谢谢。下周是我朋友的生日，他喜欢日本卡通画和连环漫画册。可是，说实话,我对这些了解很少！你能帮我选些他喜欢的东西吗？

A: No problem. I'm an expert in this area, which we call "Anime".

没问题。我是这方面的专家，我们把这些叫“动画片”。

B: "Anime?" Yes, I've heard my friend talk about this. I had no idea he meant cartoons!

“动画片”？对，我听我朋友说起过。我不知道他指的是“卡通片”！

A: Anime began a long time ago, the first short pieces were made in 1917, but thcsc were mainly folk tales. Nothing like the anime we get today. rt then developed into westem-style humour during the 1930s and then on to giants, robors and outer spacc adventures .

动画片在很早以前就有了，第一个短片完成于1917年，但这些主要是民间传说，和我们今天看到的动画片一点也不一佯。后来20世纪30年代发展成西方的幽默风格，接着又发展成巨人、机器人和太空探险片。

B: Yes, my friend watches a cartoon about robots and strange cars and things like that.

是的，我朋友就看这些关于机器人和奇怪的汽车之类的片子。

A: These types of anime are very popular nowadays, with both children and adults. He probably enjoys the ones which started in the 1980s and were made by Miyazaki and Takahata, these are the most popular ones  Have you heard of the movie Aleira? That was made in 1988, and is still very popular today.

这类动画片现在很流行，孩子和大人都爱看。他大概是喜欢那些20世纪8０年代开始出现的片子，由官崎峻’和高松信司制作的，这些都卖得最火。你听说过电影《亚基拉》吗？那是1988年制作的影片，如今还是很受欢迎。

B: Yes! My friend loves that mowe.

没错！我朋友喜欢那部影片i

A: But, before you decide I have many other things to show you. Over here, we have some " Manga"  items.  Manga was first created in 1815  by a woodblock artist called Hokusai and means "unintentional drawings". Manga is much more graphic than usual anime, but there are different styles for different ages and sexes. It can be very violent. We've got videos, DVDs, VCDs and comics.

不过我还有很多东西给你看，看了以后你再决定。在那边，我们还有一些漫画。一开始，漫画是由一个叫葛饰北斋的木版画艺术家发明的，意思是“无意识画”。它比一般的动画要生动细致，但风格凶读者群的年龄和性别的不同而有所区别。有些漫画内容可能会很暴力。我们这儿还有录像带、DVD、VCD和连环画。

A: OK, great. What would you suggest?

那太好了。你有什么建议？

B: Today's manga has many different genres. Such as joke-books, melodrama and science ficoon. I think your friend would love some sci-fi !

如今的漫画种类很多，有笑话集、剧情片和科幻片。我觉得你朋友会喜欢一些科幻片。

A: Yes, sci-fi seems like a good idea. Which one do you suggest?

是这样，买科幻片这个主意好像不错。你建议买哪个？

B: This one. Basilisk: The Kouga N'inja Scrolls. It follows the war between two ninja clans, which have had a truce for 400 years.But suddenly, they begain fighting again. It's very popular.

买这个《甲贺忍法贴》。故事描述的是日本两个忍者派系之间的斗争。他们休战了400年，但突然又开始打了起来。这部影片卖得非常好。

A: Excellent!  I'II take it. Thanks very much for all of your help.

太棒了！我买了、非常感谢你的帮助。
