地道美语听力播客712: 观看特效（双语）

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.

克丽丝：哇噢，那部电影太让人惊奇了，但是我不相信他们吹气弄出一个埃菲尔铁塔，我肯定法国人一定很愤怒。

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：你在开玩笑，是吗?他们真没有充气弄出埃菲尔铁塔，不过他，们运用特效弄出那样的效果。

Chrissy: Are you sure? It really looked like the real thing.

克丽丝：你肯定?它确实看起来如同实物。

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：他们用一个大的埃菲尔铁塔模型或者用电脑设计出埃菲尔铁塔的形象，然后增添一些烟火技术或者其他视觉效果创造出屏幕上的形象。就像一个大幻觉形象，不敢相信你真的认为他们充气吹出个埃菲尔铁塔。

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?

克丽丝：哦，不，我没有，只是开玩笑。但是你得承认他们让美国总统杀死怪物，这点确实很酷，不是吗?

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：你一定又在跟我开玩笑了，那个不是总统。那只是一个演员穿着道具、化妆后站在一个绿色的大屏幕前面。后期制作时增加了一个怪物。

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?

克丽丝：哦，是的，那当然，但是你不得不称赞他们把中国长城的一部分搬到纽约，对吗?

Jack: Oh, boy...

杰克：哦，天哪…….
