实战口语情景对话 第249期:Making a Film 拍摄影片

 Jeff: My brothers and I just did a really fun and difficult journey across India in a rickshaw. It's, a rickshaw is a three-wheeled, a little three-wheeled vehicle. It's a cross between a car and a motorcycle. It has no doors and it has no trunk to put luggage in, and it has a little, it has a little steering¹ bar like a motorcycle and it doesn't go very fast, and we drove this all the way across the country from Bangladesh to Pakistan, and it was a crazy journey, it was crazy, very dangerous and full of surprises and very hard of your body and your mind and I did this, with my two brothers in a rickshaw. My brothers and I filmed the entire journey in the rickshaw with a professional video camera. One of my dreams in life is to make a documentary² for TV and we decided³ to make a documentary of our trip across India and it was very difficult. We thought it would be easy, but when we started to do this it was very, very tough. They make it look easy on television and when you have the camera and you're trying to video people it's very difficult. They don't do what you want to do and the weather doesn't cooperate⁴ with you, and maybe the camera breaks down and you're tired and you can't get the video shots that you want and it becomes like a game, or struggle, trying to get the best shots, trying to get the most interesting shots, and it is like a game, a fun, and frustrating⁵ game, but by the end of the trip, we managed to get all of the video, and we put together a very interesting three minute video, and a couple of Indian video producers helped us put this together, and you can see the short video on the web sitewww.eagarbros.com, and I think you'll like it. It's full of surprises and full of funny and strange sites and full of action, so, it's pretty good. I think you'll like it. 

杰夫：我哥哥和我刚刚完成了一次有趣又艰难的旅行，我们乘坐人力车游览了印度。人力车就是一种有三个轮子的交通工具。结合了汽车和摩托车两者的属性。人力车没有门，也没有放行李的后备箱，它有一个类似摩托车的把手，这种工具的速度不会太快，所以我们坐着这种车游览了孟加拉国和巴基斯坦，这真是一趟疯狂的旅行，疯狂、危险、又充满惊喜，对身心都是种考验，而我和我哥哥用人力车完成了这趟旅行。我哥哥和我用专业摄像机拍摄了整个人力车之旅。我的其中一个梦想就是拍摄电视纪录片，所以我们决定将我们在印度的旅行拍成纪录片，这非常难。我们本以为这会很容易，但是我们开始做的时候便发现这非常非常难。在电视上看起来这么做很容易，不过用摄像机拍摄人们的生活非常难。他们并不会做你希望他们做的事情，而且天气也不配合，可能摄像机还会损坏，你会非常累，但是却拍不到你想要的镜头，这变成了一种游戏，或者说是斗争，试图拍到最好的镜头，最有意思的镜头，这就像一场游戏，一场有趣又令人沮丧的游戏，不过在旅行结束的时候，我们成功地把所有的镜头合到了一起，我们完成了一段非常有意思的三分钟视频，一些印度视频制作者帮助我们完成了这段视频，你可以在www.eagarbros.com这个网站上看到这段短视频，我想你会喜欢它的。这段视频充满了惊喜，里面的地点有趣又奇怪，而且还有冒险情节，非常不错的一段视频。我想你们会喜欢它的。
