托福TPO/Official 47 Con 2听力原文Why does the professor decide to ask the students to review one of the films being shown by the campus film club?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段一个学生和他的教授之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and his professor.

教授：这个不是我分配影评任务时的要求。

Professor: This is not what I had in mind when I assigned a film review.

教授：是的，不是。你写的是一个大纲，是关于这部电影的详细总结，不是评论。

Professor: No. What you wrote is a synopsis, a detailed summary of the movie, but it's not a review.

学生：不是吗？我想我有点迷惑了因为……难道影评不就是那样吗？

Student: It's not? I guess I'm a little confused cuz isn't that what a film review does?

但是一个好的评论必须包含更多的内容。

我认为我应该更好地解释这个任务，因为……嗯……我收到的很多都是对电影的总结，很少有评论。

I'm starting to think that I should have explained the assignment better because... well... I got a lot of summaries and very few reviews.

学生：所以不是我一个人这样做了？

教授：是的。我原本以为每个人都知道怎么做。

Professor: Hardly. I just assumed that everyone would know what to do.

学生：所以……嗯……那么写影评还应该怎么做呢？

Student: So... um... what else is a review supposed to do?

教授：嗯，写影评还应该分析电影，讨论它的优点和缺点，也许要与其它的电影进行比较，

Professor: Well, it should also analyze the film, discuss its strengths and weaknesses, maybe compare it to other movies,

甚至是要提到为什么观看者为什么喜欢或是不喜欢这部电影。

even mention why the reviewer did or didn't like it.

学生：你的意思是它应该更加的个性化？

Student: You mean it should have been more personal?

教授：对于初写影评的人来说，用“subjective主观的”这个词来描述比“personal个性化的”这个词来描述更好。

Professor: For starters, or maybe subjective is a better word than personal.

是的，影评应该要更加主观化。

Yes. It should have been more subjective.

教授：嗯，我还没想好是否要你重写。

Professore: Well, I don't know about rewriting it.

太多的人似乎没有注意到这个细节。

Too many people seemed to have missed the point.

我想我可能不得不放弃对这个影评的评判。

I think I may have to forgo evaluating this one.

相反，也许我们会专门再用一节课讨论一下如何写一篇好的影评。

Instead maybe we'll just devote a class to discussing what it takes to write a good film review.

也许……嗯……我有一个专门为地方报纸写影评的同事。

Or maybe... hmm... you know, I have a colleague who writes film reviews for the local paper.

也许我会邀请她来讲课，让她描述下她所做的工作，然后每个人再重新写影评。

Maybe I could ask her to come to class and describe what she does and then have everyone rewrite their reviews.

学生：所以，她会讨论影评应该是什么样的，我们就会知道怎么做了。

Student: So, she would talk about what a film review should be like, so we'd know what to do.

一位专业的电影评论员在电影发布前有时会先去看那部电影。

A professional film reviewer gets to see movies sometimes before they are even released.

他们可以获得样片----通常是一个视频或是DVD，提前在家看或者是电影在剧院一开播就立即去电影院看。

They get advance copies - usually a video or DVD - to watch at home or they go to a movie as soon as it opens in the theaters.

学生：嗯……在剧院的大屏幕上看，这个不会影响看的效果吗？

Student: Um... seeing it on the big screen in a theater, doesn't that affect the experience?

教授：当然! 有其他人有可能……也会影响影评。

Professor: Of course! Having other people there can... can affect the review, too.

因此，对于下一个任务，我可能会要求每个人对每周末电影俱乐部在校园剧院里放的电影做影评。

So, for the next assignment, I might ask everyone to review one of the films the film club shows every weekend at the theater on campus.

在星期五、星期六晚上和星期日下午这些电影是免费对学生开放的。

They are free to students and the movies are shown on Friday and Saturday nights, plus Sunday afternoon.

所以，每个人都应该能够看到一场电影。

学生：但是这次的话，我们得重写影评吗?

Student: But for this time, will we have to rewrite our reviews?

教授：嗯，我们一次做一件事吧。

Professor: Well, let's take it one thing at a time.

我先跟我同事聊一下（后面再说）。

Why does the student go to the professor’s office?

Why will the professor probably not grade the film review the student has submitted?

According to the professor, what are two elements of a good review that the student did NOT include?

Why does the professor decide to ask the students to review one of the films being shown by the campus film club?

What does the professor imply when she says this:

1."P: This is not what I had in mind when I signed a film review. 
S: It isn't? 
P: No. what you wrote is a synopsis, a detailed summary of the movie. but it's not a review 
S: It’s not? I guess I'm a little confused because isn’t that what a film review does? You know, describe the film?
" 
2."P: Sure in part. But a good review has to do more. but this is probably not your fault. I'm starting to think I should have explained the assignment better because, well, I got a lot of summaries and very few reviews. 
S: So it wasn't only me? 
P: Hardly. I just assumed that everyone would know what to do 
S: So what else is a review supposed to do? 
P: Well it should also analyze the film, discuss its strengths and weaknesses, maybe compared to other movies, even mention why the reviewer did or didn't like it. 
S: You mean it should've been more personal? 
P: For starters. Or maybe subjective is a better word than personal. yes it should've been more subjective 
P: Well I don't know about rewriting it. Too many people seem to miss the point. I think I may have to forgo evaluating this one. Instead maybe we'll just go to class to discussing what it takes to write a good film review or maybe……… you know. I have a colleague who writes film reviews for the local paper. Maybe I could ask her to come to class and describe what she does and then have everyone rewrite their reviews 
" 
3."P: Sure in part. But a good review has to do more. but this is probably not your fault. I'm starting to think I should have explained the assignment better because, well, I got a lot of summaries and very few reviews. 
S: So it wasn't only me? 
P: Hardly. I just assumed that everyone would know what to do

Maybe I could ask her to come to class and describe what she does and then have everyone rewrite their reviews 
" 
4."S: So she would talk about what a film review should be like, so we’ll know what to do 
P: Well, more than that. A professional field review gets to see movies sometimes before their even released. They get advance copies, usually at video or DVD to watch at home. or they go to a movie as soon as it opens in theaters 
S: Seeing it on the big screen in the theater, doesn’t that affect the experience? 
P: Of course. Having other people there can affect their review too. So for the next assignment, I might ask everyone to review one of the films the film club shows every weekend at the theater on campus. There’s no admission charge. They are free to students and the movies are shown on Friday and Saturday nights plus Sunday afternoon. so everyone should be able to see one. Yeah that should work 
S: But for this time, will we have to rewrite our reviews? 
P: Well let's take it one thing at a time. Let me talk to my colleague.
" 
5."S: But for this time, will we have to rewrite our reviews? 
P: Well let's take it one thing at a time. Let me talk to my colleague.
