A 你有這麼多碟！真是個影迷。
nǐ yǒu zhème duō dié! zhēnshì ge yǐngmí.
You have so many DVDs! You're really a movie buff.
B 我是收集了不少各個國家的電影。我特別喜歡看歐洲的獨立電影。它們的構思非常獨特，有些輕鬆幽默，有些卻沉重黑暗，總之和商業片非常不同。你愛看什麼電影？
wǒ shì shōují le bùshǎo gège guójiā de diànyǐng. wǒ tèbié xǐhuan kàn Oūzhōu de dúlì diànyǐng. tāmen de gòusī fēicháng dútè, yǒuxiē qīngsōng yōumò, yǒuxiē què chénzhòng hēiàn, zǒngzhī hé shāngyèpiàn fēicháng bùtóng. nǐ ài kàn shénme diànyǐng?
I collect movies from quite a few different countries. I especially like to watch European independent films. Their story lines are extremely distinctive. Some are light and humorous, whereas others are serious and dark. In a word, they're very different from commercial films. What movies do you like to watch?
A 我的口味比較大眾化，喜歡浪漫喜劇和動作片。好萊塢這類電影都拍得不錯。國內導演，我最喜歡馮小剛，每年最期待他的賀歲喜劇。
wǒ de kǒuwèi bǐjiào dàzhònghuà, xǐhuan làngmàn xǐjù hé dòngzuòpiàn. Hǎoláiwù zhèlèi diànyǐng dōu pāi de búcuò. guónèi dǎoyǎn, wǒ zuì xǐhuan Féng Xiǎogāng, měinián zuì qīdài tā de hèsuì xǐjù.
My style is more mainstream. I like romantic comedies and action films. Hollywood-style films are all pretty good. Feng Xiaogang is my favorite Chinese director. Every year I look forward to his ``New Year Comedy".
B 那你今年要失望了，他拍了一部武俠傳奇片，完全顛覆了以往的風格。我真不明白為什麼中國導演現在一窩蜂地去拍這類電影。還是王家衛堅持自我，不同題材都能拍得非常有自己的個性。
nà nǐ jīnnián yào shīwàng le, tā pāi le yī bù wǔxiá chuánqí piàn, wánquán diānfù le yǐwǎng de fēnggé. wǒ zhēn bù míngbai wèishénme Zhōngguó dǎoyǎn xiànzài yīwōfēngde qù pāi zhèlèi diànyǐng. háishì wángjiāwèi jiānchí zìwǒ, bùtóng tícái dōu néng pāi de fēicháng yǒu zìjǐ de gèxìng.
Well, this year you are going to be disappointed because he shot a medieval period style film instead. It's completely different from his previous style. I really don't understand why all the Chinese directors are flocking to this type of film now. Wang Kar-wai has stayed true to himself. He can make movies about different themes that all have his own personal ``stamp."
A 他的電影真的很有型。有時候雖然看不懂，但還是會被獨特的氣氛吸引。他現在正在美國拍一部浪漫喜劇，不知道會不會延續自己的風格。
tā de diànyǐng zhēnde hěn yǒuxíng. yǒu shíhou suīrán kàn bu dǒng, dàn hái shì huì bèi dútè de qìfēn xīyǐn. tā xiànzài zhèngzài Měiguó pāi yī bù làngmàn xǐjù, bù zhīdào huì buhuì yánxù zìjǐde fēnggé.
That's true. His movies really have their own style. Sometimes I don't understand them, but I'm still drawn to their distinctive moods. He's in the United States right now shooting a romantic comedy. I wonder if he'll continue with his own style.
B 你看過五六十年代的法國新浪潮電影嗎？對於習慣現實主義和其它比較常見手法的人來說，絕對是一種震撼。
nǐ kàn guò wǔ liùshí niándài de Fǎguó cháo diànyǐng ma? duìyú xíguàn xiànshízhǔyì hé qítā bǐjiào chángjiàn shǒufǎ de rén láishuō, juéduì shì yīzhǒng zhènhàn.
Have you seen any French New Wave movies from the 50's or 60's? For people used to realism or other common styles, they're just mind-blowing.
A 那我一定看不懂。生活壓力這麼大，為什麼還要看這些需要動腦子的電影？所以我還是最喜歡搞笑片、科幻片這類輕鬆的題材。還有《指環王》這樣的史詩傳奇也不錯。
nà wǒ yīdìng kàn bu dǒng. shēnghuó yālì zhème dà, wèishénme háiyào kàn zhèxiē xūyào dòng nǎozi de diànyǐng? suǒyǐ wǒ hái shì zuì xǐhuan gǎoxiàopiàn, kēhuànpiàn zhèlèi qīngsōng de tícái. hái yǒu 《 zhīhuánwáng 》 zhèyàng de shǐshī chuánqí yě búcuò.
I definitely wouldn't understand those. There are so many pressures in real life, why would I want to watch movies that require mental exertion? So, my favorites are still silly comedies, science fiction, and similar light-hearted themes. Also, Lord of the Rings and similar legendary epic-style dramas are also pretty good.
B 看來我們的欣賞口味的確不一樣。
kànlai wǒmen de xīnshǎng kǒuwèi díquè bùyīyàng.
It looks like the styles of movies that we appreciate are really different.
