I didn't know it showed documentaries.
Giles: Have you seen the movie Fahrenheit 9/11?
Tony: No, what is it, a science fiction adventure?
Giles: No it's a documentary about American politics after the World Trade Center tragedy in September 2001.
Tony: Did you see it on television?
Giles: No, at our local movie theater. It's been on all this week.
Tony: I didn't know it showed documentaries.
Giles: It doesn't normally, but there has been huge demand to see this one.
賈爾斯: 你有沒有看過《華氏九一一》這部電影?
東尼:沒有。那是什么樣的電影,是科幻歷險之類嗎?
賈爾斯:不是,那是部紀(jì)錄片,講二○○一年九月世界貿(mào)易中心悲劇之后的美國政治。
東尼:你是在電視上看的嗎?
賈爾斯:不是,是在我們城里的電*。電影已放映了整個星期。
東尼:我不知道這家電*會放映紀(jì)錄片。
賈爾斯:一般不會,但這部電影很多人都想看。
'紀(jì)錄片'英文叫documentary movie/film或documentary,例如'戰(zhàn)爭紀(jì)錄片'是war documentary,'野生動植物紀(jì)錄片'是wildlife documentary等。此外還有fly-on-the-wall documentary.A fly on the wall直譯是'墻上一只蒼蠅',常用來比喻'悄悄在旁觀察的人',例如:I would like to be a fly on the wall at their closed-door meeting(他們舉行閉門會議,我真想變成蒼蠅,在墻上觀看)。
A fly-on-the-wall documentary是人物紀(jì)錄片,片中人物不知道或不理會自己是在鏡頭之下,作息一如日常,例如:He made a fly-on-the-wall documentary on/about the everyday life of the retired president(他拍了一部紀(jì)錄片,照實(shí)紀(jì)錄那個退休總統(tǒng)的日常生活)。
留意紀(jì)錄片的主題可用on或about帶出。讀者大概都知道document作名詞,可解作'文件';但這個字其實(shí)還可作動詞,指用文字、電影等寫實(shí)紀(jì)錄,例如:The photographer spent two whole days documenting the everyday life of the retired president from a fly-on-the-wall angle(那攝影師花了整整兩天,照實(shí)紀(jì)錄那個退休總統(tǒng)的日常生活)。賈爾斯說《華氏九一一》放映已有一個星期:It's been on all this week.On是指電影、戲劇等上映或上演,come off則是放映期結(jié)束,例如:" I think there's a cops and robbers film on at the cinema." " Oh, no, it has come off."('似乎有一部警匪片在上映。''啊,沒有,放映已經(jīng)結(jié)束了。')
