Martin: What did you think of that movie?
马丁:你感觉那个电影怎么样?
Joanna: It was okay, but I'm not really into big-budget movies with a lot of special effects and big-name stars.
乔安娜:我感觉还好,但是我真的不太喜欢看那些有很多特效和很多大牌明星的大片。
Martin: Oh, you're a film snob. I bet you only watch indie films made on a shoestring budget with low production values.
马丁:哦,你是“电影势利眼”,我打赌你只观看那些小本经营的低制作价值的独立电影。
Joanna: No, that's not true. I just don't like crowd-pleasers that are predictable. I like movies that stretch the imagination and have some artistic value.
乔安娜:不,不是那样的,我只是不喜欢那些明显的哗众取宠的影片,我喜欢那些丰富想象力和具有艺术价值的影片。
Martin: You mean you like those weird movies with no plot and a lot of strange characters. They're artsy, but leave you totally confused.
马丁:你是说你喜欢那些没有情节,有好多奇怪的角色的怪异电影,它们是艺术了,但是它们把你完全留在困惑中。
Joanna: I don't mind some ambiguity, if that's what you mean.
乔安娜:我不在乎一些情节含糊不清,如果你是想表达这个意思的话。
Martin: Well, I'm going to see the new Spiderboy movie next week. I don't suppose you want to come?
马丁:好吧,下周我要去看《蜘蛛侠》,我想你不会愿意来看吧?
Joanna: Spiderboy? I've been looking forward to seeing that movie.
乔安娜:《蜘蛛侠》?我一直想去看这部电影来。
Martin: But it's a big-budget blockbuster.
马丁:但是这可是一部大片啊!
Joanna: I can't watch artsy films all the time. Variety is the spice of life, don't you think?
乔安娜:我不能一直观看艺术电影啊,丰富多彩是生活的调味品啊,你不这样觉得吗?
