Many believe that the story first began in America in 1877,
許多人認(rèn)為故事首先發(fā)生在美國(guó)的1877年，
when two friends were arguing over whether a horse ever had all four feet or hooves off the ground when it galloped.
那時(shí)候有兩個(gè)朋友爭(zhēng)論馬在奔跑時(shí)四蹄是否有同時(shí)離地的時(shí)刻。
To settle the bet,a photographer was asked to photograph a horse galloping
為了解決這個(gè)賭注，一名攝影師拍攝了馬奔跑時(shí)的照片。
and the bet was settled because you could see that all the hooves were off the ground in some of the photos.
最終打賭的結(jié)果弄清了，因?yàn)榭梢钥吹皆谀承┱掌像R蹄是完全離開(kāi)地面的。
What was even more interesting was that if the photos were shown in quick succession the horse looked like it was running - in other words 'moving pictures'.
更有趣的是，如果照片在快速連續(xù)地翻動(dòng)下，馬就像跑起來(lái)一樣，換句話說(shuō)就是“動(dòng)態(tài)影像”。
The person who became interested in taking the moving pictures to its next step was the famous American inventor Thomas Edison.
將動(dòng)態(tài)影像做出進(jìn)一步發(fā)展的人就是美國(guó)著名的發(fā)明家，托馬斯·愛(ài)迪生。
Actually,he didn't do the work himself but rather asked a young Scotsman in his employ a system, which he did.
事實(shí)上，他并沒(méi)有自己去做，而是讓他雇用的一個(gè)年輕的蘇格蘭人設(shè)計(jì)了這個(gè)系統(tǒng)。
Now this young fellow was clever because the first thing he did was study systems - primitive as they were - of moving pictures
這個(gè)年輕人非常聰明，因?yàn)樗龅牡谝患虑榫褪菍W(xué)習(xí)其他的動(dòng)態(tài)影像系統(tǒng)。從他們最原始的狀態(tài)學(xué)起，
and then put all the existing technologies together to make the first entire motion picture system.
然后融合現(xiàn)有的技術(shù)，制作出第一個(gè)動(dòng)態(tài)影像系統(tǒng)。
He designed a camera,a projection device and the film.
他設(shè)計(jì)了一臺(tái)攝影機(jī)、投影儀和電影。
The system was first shown in New York in 1894 and was really very popular.
這套系統(tǒng)首次在1894年的紐約亮相并大受歡迎。
Apparently people lined up around the block to see the wonderful new invention.
顯然，成群的人們排隊(duì)觀看這部偉大的新發(fā)明。
There were,however,a couple of problems with the system.
然后，這套系統(tǒng)有幾個(gè)問(wèn)題。
The camera weighed over 200 kilograms and only one person at a time could see the film.
攝影機(jī)重達(dá)200多公斤，一次只有一個(gè)人可以觀看到電影。
