So now we've spoken about on-screen sounds. But occasionally, the source of a sound cannot be seen.
那么，我們已經談到了屏幕上的聲音。但有時候，聲源是看不到的。
That's what we call offscreen sounds, or "acousmatic."
我們稱之為畫外音，或者是“盲聽”。
Acousmatic sounds -- well, the term "acousmatic" comes from Pythagoras in ancient Greece,
盲聽的聲音--“盲聽”一詞來自古希臘的畢達哥拉斯，
who used to teach behind a veil or curtain for years, not revealing himself to his disciples.

I think the mathematician and philosopher thought that, in that way, his students might focus more on the voice,
我想這位數學家兼哲學家認為，采用那種教學方法，他的學生會更專注于語音，
and his words and its meaning, rather than the visual of him speaking.
專注于他的詞語及其意義，而不是專注于他講話時的樣子。
So sort of like the Wizard of Oz, or "1984's" Big Brother, separating the voice from its source,
有點像“綠野仙蹤”（Oz國的魔法師），或是電影“1984”的“老大哥”，把語音和來源分開，
separating cause and effect sort of creates a sense of ubiquity or panopticism, and therefore, authority.
把因和果分開，就像制造一種無處不在或全景環視的感覺，因此產生了權威感。
