NARRATOR:Listen to a conversation between a student and his professor.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:This is not what I had in mind when I assigned a film review.
MALE STUDENT:It isn't?
FEMALE PROFESSOR:No. What you wrote is a synopsis, a detailed summary of the movie, but it's not a review.
MALE STUDENT:It's not? I guess I'm a little confused cause isn't that what a film review does?You know, describe the film?
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Sure. In part, but a good review has to do more.But this is probably not your fault.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.
MALE STUDENT:So it wasn't only me.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Hardly. I just assumed that everyone would know what to do.
MALE STUDENT:So...um...what else is a review supposed to do?
FEMALE PROFESSOR: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.
MALE STUDENT:You mean it should have been more personal?
FEMALE PROFESSOR:For starters. Or maybe, “subjective” is a better word than “personal.”Yes. It should have been more subjective.
MALE STUDENT:[hopeful] Maybe I could rewrite it?FEMALE PROFESSOR:Well, I don't know about rewriting it. Too many people seem to have missed the point.I think I may have to forgo evaluating this one.Instead maybe we'll just devote a class to discussing what it takes to write a good film review, or maybe...hmm...you know, I have a colleague who writes film reviews for the local paper.Maybe I could ask her to come to class and describe what she does, and then have everyone rewrite their reviews.
MALE STUDENT:So, she would talk about what a film review should be like, so we'd know what to do.
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Well, more than that.A professional film reviewer gets to see movies sometimes before they are even released.They get advance copies, usually a video or DVD, to watch at home. Or they go to a movie as soon as it opens in the theaters.
MALE STUDENT:Um...seeing it on the big screen, in a theater, doesn't that affect the experience?
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Of course! Having other people there can...can affect the review too…
So, for the next assignment, I might ask everyone to review one of the films the film club shows every weekend at the theater on campus.There is no admission charge, they are free to students, and… the movies are shown on Friday and Saturday nights, plus Sunday afternoon, so everyone should be able to see one. Yeah, that should work.
MALE STUDENT:But for this time, will we have to rewrite our reviews?
FEMALE PROFESSOR:Well, let's take it one thing at a time. [before I decide] Let me talk to my colleague.
旁白:请听一位学生与其教授之间的对话。
教授:这个不是我分配影评任务时的要求。
学生:不是吗?
教授:嗯,你写的是一篇概要,是对这部电影的一篇详细总结,不是一篇评论。
学生:不是吗?我想我有点困惑,因为......那不就是一篇电影评论的内容吗?描述这部电影?
教授:当然部分是这样的,但是一篇好的评论远不止于此。不过可能错不在你。我开始认为当时我应该更好地给你们解释这个作业的,因为......我收到了很多篇总结,几乎没有评论。
学生:所以错的不只是我咯。
教授:可不嘛。我只是以为大家都知道该怎么写。
学生:那......一篇评论还应该包括什么内容?
教授:它还应该分析这部电影,讨论它的优点和不足,也许可以把它和其他电影进行对比,甚至提一提评论者为什么喜欢或不喜欢它。
学生:你的意思是它应该更个人一些?
教授:对初学者来说是这样的,或者也许主观比个人更贴切。是的,它应该更主观一些。
学生:也许我可以重写一篇?教授:我不确定要不要让你们重写,看起来太多人都没抓住要领。我觉得我也许不得不放弃给这次作业评分了。也许我们可以直接抽一节课的时间讨论一下写出一篇好的影评需要什么,或者......或者也许......我有个同事为本地报社写影评。也许我可以邀请她到班上来,详细讲讲她的工作内容,然后再让每个人都重写他们的影评。
学生:她会讲讲一篇影评应该是什么样的,所以我们就知道该怎么做了。
教授:不仅如此。一个专业的影评人有时候有机会在电影上映之前先睹为快。他们会提前拿到电影资源,通常是一部视频或一张DVD,可以在家里看。或者影片一在电影院上映他们就会去看。
学生:在影院的大荧幕上看不会影响观影体验吗?
教授:当然会!跟影院里的其他人一起看也会影响他们的评论。
所以,下一次的作业,我也许会让每个人评价一部电影协会每周末在学校影院播放的电影。不收门票,对学生是免费的,而且放映时间都在星期五和星期六的晚上,还有星期天下午,所以每个人应该都能看。那应该有用。
学生:但是这一次,我们要重写影评吗?
教授:我们一件事一件事解决,我先问问我同事。
选项分析:
从对话一开始,老师就强调影评和摘要的区别,老师又说到自己的失误,没有给班级提前解释清楚,可知学生去老师办公室就是为了知道自己上交的作业好不好,对应选项D。
