约翰·洛克耶写的《制作电影

These people are in a cinema. They are sitting in rows, looking at a large, dark screen. Some of them are having drinks, while others are eating popcorn. Everyone is waiting, feeling excited. Suddenly the lights go out and the room gets quiet. The people see pictures moving on the screen. They hear music and voices. The movie has started!

这些人在电影院。 他们排排坐着，看着一个又大又黑的屏幕。 他们中的一些人在喝饮料，而另一些人在吃爆米花。 每个人都在等待，感到兴奋。 突然间灯灭了，房间变得安静了。 人们看到画面在屏幕上移动。 他们听到音乐和声音。 电影开始了!

film set Movies use moving pictures and sound to tell stories. Some stories have been made up, while others are about real people and real places and things. The stories can be funny, scary, interesting or exciting. Most movies are made so that they can be shown on a big screen. Let's find out how a movie is made.

电影用活动的图像和声音来讲述故事。 有些故事是编造的，而另一些故事是关于真实的人、真实的地方和真实的事情。 故事可以是搞笑的、恐怖的、有趣的或令人兴奋的。 大多数电影都是为了在大屏幕上放映而制作的。 让我们来看看电影是如何制作的。

rehearsing The story of a movie is called a script. When a script is finished, a producer gets all the money that is needed to make the movie. He also finds people to work on the movie. The actors read the script to find out about the story. They must remember all the words that they have to say in the movie. They must learn how to move, and what kind of voice to use, too.

电影的故事叫做剧本。 当剧本完成后，制片人就得到了制作电影所需的所有资金。 他还找了一些人来制作电影。 演员们读剧本来了解故事情节。 他们必须记住他们在电影中要说的所有单词。 他们必须学会如何移动，以及使用什么样的声音。

filming The director reads the script many times, so that he can show the actors how to play their parts. When everyone knows what to do. the director shouts, "Action!" While the actors move about and say their words, a cameraman takes moving pictures of them. Sometimes many cameramen work on the same movie.

导演把剧本读了很多遍，这样他就可以指导演员们如何扮演他们的角色。 当每个人都知道该怎么做。 导演喊道:“开始!”当演员们四处走动并说台词时，摄影师会给他们拍下动态的照片。 有时许多摄影师为同一部电影工作。

sound operator An editor puts all the moving pictures together. Then the director and the editor work out which parts of the movie are the most interesting and exciting. They cut out anything they don't want. Music and singing are recorded by sound operators, who join it with the moving pictures. After the titles are added, the movie is finished and ready to show.

剪辑师把所有的活动画面组合在一起。 然后导演和剪辑师找出电影的哪些部分是最有趣和最激动人心的。 他们把不想要的东西都剪掉。 音乐和歌声是由音响操作员录制的，他们将其与移动的图像结合在一起。 添加标题后，电影就完成了，可以播放了。
