一、阅读Passage 1 From Page to Screen

北师大 Book 5 Unit 6

Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences, but it’s normal to have high expectations when a film of a favourite book is made. There are many times I have been pessimistic or even disappointed by a film of a book I love. Although highly regarded books do not always make good films, it is safe to say that great films may be made from not particularly good books. (The Godfatherimmediately springs to mind.)

The source material for a film may be taken from classic novels, short stories, comic books and stage plays, as well as non-fiction such as biographies and autobiographies, even those written by ghost writers. All can work well, but why do many adaptations and indeed remakes fail with both cinema audiences and critics? And why do some adaptations get lower ratings than others?

A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is. Since a typical film is only around two hours long, it becomes a question for screenwriters to decide what is appropriate for the screen and what to leave out. Screenwriters take creative liberty and sometimes there may be changes to the plot, additions, and even different endings to please producers, directors and test audiences. I, like many people, have often left the cinema feeling “the film is not like the book”.

Another problem area is the cast. Finding actors acceptable to film audiences can mean the difference between success and failure. Readers of the book use their imaginations to visualise characters and have very definite ideas about how characters should look and sound. This is where I think many film adaptations fall down.

Some books are just too difficult to be adapted for technical reasons, although films like The Life of Pi are changing this idea. CGI (Computer Generated Image) technology has had a huge impact on the film industry. It allowed the previously unfilmable to become a reality.

One may think that it is the book writer who is in the best position to do film adaptations. In fact, sometimes authors are very involved in the process and may even be the screenwriter. This can actually be a disadvantage because they may be too close to the material and find it difficult to adapt to a new form. At other times they are not, and there are instances where writers have been very unsatisfied with the film versions of their work; Stephen King is an example of this. Even more extreme was novelist, J. D. Salinger, who made sure no film versions of his popular novel A Catcher in the Ryeever be made. In this situation, it is clear that viewers will not be disappointed! For me, anyway, it is always a bad idea to watch a film of a book you love.

Despite the challenges, there have been some highly successful films made from popular books. For me, Jaws, Harry Potterand The Lord of the Ringsall fit this category. And possibly the best proof of a successful adaptation is the James Bond series, the majority of which has been adapted from the 007novels of Ian Fleming. Perhaps unusually, audiences seem to accept that the actors who have played James Bond have changed so often, although everyone seems to have their favourite. I know I do.

译文:

从纸书到屏幕

读书和看电影是两种截然不同的体验。如果人们最喜欢的书籍被翻拍成电影,他们对电影的期待值自然更高,这种现象很正常。不止一次,我喜欢的书籍拍成电影,我都不看好,甚至很失望。尽管高质量的书并不总是能拍出好看的电影,优秀的电影也可能来自不是那么好的书,说的倒是没错。(这让我马上想到《教父》。)

一部电影可以取材自经典小说、短篇小说、漫画书、舞台剧,也可以取自传记、自传等非小说作品,甚至是代笔人写的作品。这些素材都可以拍出很棒的作品,但为什么许多改编、翻拍的电影没能受到电影观众与评论家的好评呢?为什么有些改编作品的评分比其他作品低呢?

显而易见,一个关键的问题在于这部电影与原作接近程度如何。电影通常只有两小时左右passage,在有限的时间里,编剧要决定书中哪部分适合银幕,哪部分不适合。对此编剧有一定的创作自由度,有时为了迎合制片人、导演、观众,会改动部分情节,甚至演绎不同结局。和很多人一样,我也经常在看完电影后感叹“这部电影和原作不一样”。

另一个问题是演员阵容。找到电影观众所接受的演员,有时决定着电影的成败。读者会通过自己的想象,将书中的人物形象化,角色的外貌、声音他们都有明确的想法。我认为选择的演员不符合他们的想象,成为很多电影改编失败的原因。

一些书由于技术原因很难拍成电影,虽然《少年派的奇幻漂流》等电影的出现正在改变这一问题。电脑生成动画技术对电影产业有重大影响,让以前无法拍摄的内容成为现实。

人们可能会认为,最适合改编电影的人应该是书籍作者本人。事实上,作者有时的确会参与改编,甚至可能担任电影编剧。但这其实有局限性,因为作者本人可能过于忠于书中内容,很难将其改编成一种新的形式。有时作者本人并不是电影编剧,于是出现了作者对自己作品所拍摄的电影版本非常不满意的情况。史蒂芬·金就是这样。小说家杰罗姆·大卫·塞林格更为极端,他永远不准自己广受欢迎的小说《麦田里的守望者》被拍成电影版本。如果是这样,读者就永远不会失望!不管怎样,我认为去看自己钟爱的书籍翻拍成的电影不会是个好主意。

尽管挑战重重,还是有一些改编自畅销书的电影取得了极大成功,例如《大白鲨》《哈利波特》和《指环王》都是成功的案例。可能最好的例子是詹姆斯·邦德系列passage,该系列的大部分作品都改编自伊恩·弗莱明的《007》系列小说。系列影片中詹姆斯·邦德的扮演者经常换人,但观众们似乎也能接受,这让人难以相信。但我相信每位观众和我一样,都有自己最喜欢的那个扮演者。

课文答案

2 “From Page to Screen” means adapting books to make films or TV series. He has been disappointed many times by a film of a book.

3 The Source Materials:

classic novels; short stories; comic books; stage plays; biographies; non-fiction

Page (books); Screen (films)

The Main Challenges for Filmmakers:

The original VS Film: it becomes a question for screen writers to decide what is appropriate for the screen and

what to leave out

The Cast: it's difficult to find actors acceptable to film audiences

Technical Reasons: some films are difficult to be adapted for technical reasons

The Screenwriter: if the writers are the screen writers, they may be too close to the material and find it difficult to adapt to a new form; if the writers are not, they may be very unsatisfied with the film versions of the book.

4 Many adaptations fail because:

Films have to be a specific length causing parts of the book to be left out.

Finding actors acceptable to film audiences is the key to readers, imagination of characters.

5 Because the film’s length is about two hours, some plots are left out or changed. Even the endings may be changed.

The selection of casts, the use of technology and the screenwriters should be considered when adapting books into films.

The author is negative about it, because he says that “it is always a bad idea to watch a film of a book you love".

R And now it's time for Ask the Expert.Our expert this week is Professor Jessop, a professor of media studies. Good to have you on our programme, Professor Jessop.

J: Thanks.

film adaptation from book_passage_book to film adaptation

R I have collected a number of questions from our website. Here is the first question. Do you think the Internet has affected traditional media, news, for example?

J: Well yes, absolutely. The Internet has made a great impact on how news is produced. In the past, it was the newspaper editor who decided what was news and covered it, but now anyone can. With the camera in our smartphones, we can make a recording of a high-definition video of an event, upload it to the Internet, and then people all over the world can see it. As a result, big media corporations are being cut out. Some sites are bringing the news directly from the people who are experiencing or witnessing it, on the spot of a car accident for example.

R Thats interesting. Just now, you mentioned how the Internet has changed news. Professor Jessop, our second question is:how has it changed the way we use language?

J: Well, obviously the Internet has introduced a lot of new words to our language. Who had heard of "microblogging" before the Internet? But more importantly, I believe the Internet has made media more interactive. Media used to be a one-way process 一 they spoke and we listened. Now it's much more like a dialogue. Every article has reader's comments below it and anyone can express what they think.

R OK, thanks, Professor Jessop. Now we've only got time for one more question. You mentioned newspapers earlier. They're having a hard time. Do you think we will still read newspapers in the future?

J: Most countries have seen a drop in newspaper sales in the last few years. It's not just the loss of readers that is a problem. In the US, newspapers make almost 90% of their money from advertising. This has occurred for several reasons. Firstly, a lot of companies and people now choose to advertise online. Secondly, when newspaper sales drop, fewer people want to advertise in the paper and they won't pay as much to advertise. In my opinion, newspaper business will find it much harder to survive in the future.

R OK, thanks Professor Jessop. Its a pleasure as always to talk to you and thanks for taking part in Ask the Expert.

三、写作 (沪教版高中英语新教材必修三Unit 1 Reading)

Films have been around for over a hundred years, and are still very popular. We are calling for film-goers to share their views on their favourite films. The best entries will be published on our website.

(1)Which film do you want to write about?

(2)What elements do you want to include in your film review?

the action scenes the plot the soundtrack the ①

the characters the lines the special effects the ending

①script /skr?pt/ n.(电影) 剧本

2 Read the sample film review.Then complete the table before you write.

The Wandering Earth

Imagine that the world is going to end in seven days. Would you rush home to spend the remaining time with your family, or would you risk your life saving the Earth and human civilization?

This is the theme of The Wandering Earth, a film directed by Guo Fan. The film is based on a novel by Liu Cixin and is the first Chinese science fiction film to become internationally famous. The film stars Wu Jing as the astronaut Liu Peiqiang, along with a number of other big-name actors.

The plot is exciting and super easy to follow. The sun is about to die out, and Liu Peiqiang is sent on a difficult task. His job is to guide the Earth on its journey to a new location outside the solar system. However, when the Earth is passing Jupiter, something goes wrong. It will crash into the planet in seven days. Faced with this possible disaster, Liu acts heroically, and successfully saves the Earth at the cost of his own life.

The film is packed with thrilling① action scenes where problems and dangers come up one after another. However, the heroes act bravely with an added touch of humour. The lines often make me think. For example, there is a line saying: Long, long ago, people didn’t care much about the sun. They only cared about the thing called “money”. This deion shows how silly human behaviour can be,especially how we destroy the environment.

To sum up, The Wandering Earthis an example of Chinese science fiction film-making at its best. I really enjoyed watching it because it is both entertaining and educational.This is a film not to be missed!

A Bite of China

TV shows about food are quite popular these days, aren’t they? Maybe you’ve seen or heard about shows explaining how to make different dishes. Or maybe you’ve heard about shows that introduce the history of food to viewers. On the surface, the Chinese documentary A Bite of Chinamay seem like this second type of show, but it’s much more.

The producers of the show wanted to show the relationship of foods from different regions of China with the people living there. This relationship includes the widely held customs and traditions of the region, which influence family values and people’s attitudes towards life. Overall, the show aims to help audiences understand traditional Chinese culture through stories about food told by ordinary people.

During the first season of A Bite of China, a story from the second episode of the show focused on Ningbo in Zhejiang Province. After the late rice harvest, the people in this region begin making rice cakes. The flour used to make rice cakes comes from polished round-grain rice① . Traditionally, many families would prepare rice cakes before the Chinese New Year. A family would prepare enough to eat through the year, either as a staple food in meals or as a side dish. The rice cakes are also called get-together cakes. Why is that? When the cakes are being prepared, everyone knows a family reunion② is soon to come.

Another Chinese New Year tradition appears in the same episode of A Bite of China. This tradition is shown through the family of Bai Bo, a photographer whose family lives in Beijing. This busy father of two girls rarely has time to spend with his family during the year. That’s why during the Chinese New Year holidays, Bai Bo won’t allow anything to get in the way of spending time with his family. One tradition he enjoys during this holiday is stuffing and wrapping jiaozi, his daughters’ favourite food, to be served with their New Year’s Eve meal. A Bite of Chinamakes it clear that, for Chinese people, nothing is more important than family get-togethers.

When A Bite of Chinafirst season went on the air, countless viewers kept coming back for more as new episodes came out. Many were moved to tears by the touching stories of real people and the foods they love. And the show wasn’t just a hit in China. After the first season ended, more than 35 countries bought the rights to show it internationally. A Bite of Chinasounds fantastic, doesn’t it?

Children as young as ten are becoming dependent on social media for their sense of self-worth, a major study warned.

It found many youngsters(少年)now measure their status by how much public approval they get online, often through “like”. Some change their behavior in real life to improve their image on the web.

The report into youngsters aged from 8 to 12 was carried out by Children's Commissioner (专员)Anne Longfield. She said social media firms were exposing children to major emotional risks, with some youngsters starting secondary school ill-equipped to cope with the tremendous pressure they faced online.

Some social apps were popular among the children even though they supposedly require users to be at least 13. The youngsters admitted planning trips around potential photo-opportunities and then messaging friends—and friends of friends — to demand “likes” for their online posts.

The report found that youngsters felt their friendships could be at risk if they did not respond to social media posts quickly, and around the clock.

Children aged 8 to 10 were "starting to feel happy" when others liked their posts. However, those in the 10 to 12 age group were "concerned with how many people like their posts", suggesting a “need” for social recognition that gets stronger the older they become.

Miss Longfield warned that a generation of children risked growing up "worried about their appearance and image as a result of the unrealistic lifestyles they follow on platforms, and increasingly anxious about switching off due to the constant demands of social media.

She said: "Children are using social media with family and friends and to play games when they are in primary school. But what starts as fun usage of apps turns into tremendous pressure in real social media interaction at secondary school. "

As their world expanded. she said, children compared themselves to others online in a way that was "hugely damaging in terms of their self-identity, in terms of their confidence, but also in terms of their ability to develop themselves".

Miss Longfield added: "Then there is this push to connect—if you go offline, will you miss something, will you miss out, will you show that you don't care about those people you are following, all of those come together in a huge way at once. "

"For children it is very, very difficult to cope with emotionally. " The Children's Commissioner for England's study—life in Likes—found that children as young as 8 were using social media platforms largely for play.

However, the research—involving eight groups of 32 children aged 8 to 12—suggested that as they headed toward their teens, they became increasingly anxious online.

By the time they started secondary school—at age 11—children were already far more aware of their image online and felt under huge pressure to ensure their posts were popular, the report found.

However, they still did not know how to cope with mean-spirited jokes, or the sense of incompetence they might feel if they compared themselves to celebrities(名人)or more brilliant friends online. The report said they also faced pressure to respond to messages at all hours of the day—especially at secondary school when more youngsters have mobile phones.

The Children’s Commissioner said schools and parents must now do more to prepare children for the emotional minefield(雷区)they faced online. And she said social media companies must also "take more responsibility". They should either monitor their websites better so that children do not sign up too early, or they should adjust their websites to the needs of younger users.

Javed Khan, of children's charity Bamardo's, said: "It's vital that new compulsory age- appropriate relationship and sex education lessons in England should help equip children to deal with the growing demands of social media.

“It’s also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using. ”

65. Why did some secondary school students feel too much pressure?

A. They were not provided with adequate equipment. B. They were not well prepared for emotional risks.

C. They were required to give quick responses. D. They were prevented from using mobile phones.

66. Some social app companies were to blame because .

A. they didn't adequately check their users' registration B. they organized photo trips to attract more youngsters

C. they encouraged youngsters to post more photos D. they didn't stop youngsters from staying up late

67. Children's comparing themselves to others online may lead to .

A. less friendliness to each other B. lower self-identity and confidence

C. an increase in online cheating D. a stronger desire to stay online

68. According to Life in Likes, as children grew, they became more anxious to .

A. circulate their posts quickly B. know the qualities of their posts

C. use mobile phones for play D. get more public approval

69. What should parents do to solve the problem?

A. Communicate more with secondary schools. B. Urge media companies to create safer apps.

C. Keep track of children's use of social media. D. Forbid their children from visiting the web.

70. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The influence of social media on children. B. The importance of social media to children.

C. The problem in building a healthy relationship. D. The measure to reduce risks from social media.
