Listen to a conversation between a student and his professor.
請聽一位學(xué)生與其教授之間的對話。
This is not what I had in mind when I assigned a film review.
我讓你們寫一篇電影評論的時(shí)候想的可不是這個(gè)。
It isn’t?
不是嗎？
No. What you wrote is a synopsis, a detailed summary of the movie, but it’s not a review.
嗯，你寫的是一篇概要，是對這部電影的一篇詳細(xì)總結(jié)，不是一篇評論。
It’s not? I guess I’m a little confused ‘cause...isn’t that what a film review does? You know, describe the film?
不是嗎？我想我有點(diǎn)困惑，因?yàn)?.....那不就是一篇電影評論的內(nèi)容嗎？描述這部電影？
Sure. In part. But a good review has to do more. But this is probably not your fault.
當(dāng)然部分是這樣的，但是一篇好的評論遠(yuǎn)不止于此，不過可能錯(cuò)不在你。
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.
我在開始覺得當(dāng)時(shí)我應(yīng)該更好地給你們解釋這個(gè)作業(yè)的，因?yàn)?.....我收到了很多篇總結(jié)，幾乎沒有評論。
So it wasn’t only me.
所以錯(cuò)的不只是我咯。
Hardly. I just assumed that everyone would know what to do.
可不嘛。我只是以為大家都知道該怎么寫。
So...um...what else is a review supposed to do?
那......一篇評論還應(yīng)該包括什么內(nèi)容？
Well, it should also analyze the film, discuss its strengths and weaknesses, maybe compare it to other movies, even mention why the reviewer did or didn’t like it.
它還應(yīng)該分析這部電影，討論它的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和不足，也許可以把它和其他電影進(jìn)行對比，甚至提一提評論者為什么喜歡或不喜歡它。
You mean it should have been more personal?
你的意思是它應(yīng)該更個(gè)人一些？
For starters, or maybe subjective is a better word than personal, yes, it should have been more subjective.
對初學(xué)者來說是這樣的，或者也許主觀比個(gè)人更貼切，是的，它應(yīng)該更主觀一些。
Maybe I could rewrite it?
也許我可以重寫一篇？
Well, I don’t know about rewriting it, too many people seemed to have missed the point.
我不確定要不要讓你們重寫，看起來太多人都沒抓住要領(lǐng)。
