对话口译

CNN （即 Cable News Network ，又称有线电视新闻网）是美国的有线电视频道，由特德 · 特纳于 1980 年创办，目前为时代华纳所有。 CNN 被认为是第一个全天候 24 小时的新闻频道。公司总部和演播室位于美国亚特兰大，在全美 8600 万个家庭和 89 万个宾馆房间可以收看到CNN 。全球 212 个国家和地区的大约 10 亿人可以收看到 CNN 。 CNN 从1980 年 6 月 1 日开播以来，今天已经发展成为 15 个有线和卫星电视频道网络（如 CNN 头条新闻和 CNN 财经）， 12 个网站， 2 个当地电视网络（如CNN 机场网络）和 2 个广播网络。 CNN 在全球还拥有多个地区和外语频

道。 CNN 在 1995 年 8 月 30 日启动了自己的新闻网站，，被称作是互联网上第一个新闻网站。在 1991 年的海湾战争中， CNN 的国际知名度得到提

升，他们关于战争的现场报导吸引了全世界的目光。由于 CNN 是通过与美国政府紧密合作而取得大多数的新闻的，很多人指责 CNN 并不试图做出准确的报导，而只是一个宣传工具。由于遭到了很多关于太美国中心的指责，以及来自 BBC 和天空新闻的竞争， CNN 国际现在为世界不同地区提供不

同的新闻。 CNN 在各地的新闻中心也聘请了很多当地记者，以确保能从更国际的观点来报导新闻。在美国， CNN 则被保守派指责太过倾自由，而且

在市场份额方面已经输给了福克斯新闻，目前是美国第二大新闻频道。

• CNN : 祝贺《英雄》所取得的成功。请问您在《英雄》里所扮演的角色是否与你通常演的角色相似呢？

• It’s a very special part and a very special movie. I think it’s one of the most important action films in my life.

• 为什么你会这样说呢？• I made around 30 movies. Usually action

films have a formula: A child whose parents have been murdered by the bad guys tries hard to learn martial arts and he grows up into an outstanding kongfu master. He takes revenge and kills the bad guys. But “Hero” has a much broader theme. It talks about the peace and what kind of Chinese people can become hero.

• 就比如很像《卧虎藏龙》？• No, it’s totally different. I think Ang Lee is

a very talented director. He uses martial arts to talk about love and girls, you know…But Zhang Yimou tries to tell about Chinese culture, Chinese thinking and their hopes through martial arts.

• 含义的确很深。我们知道您的处女作是 1979 年拍摄的《少林寺》，而那时你还是个十几岁的少年。影片在亚洲引起了轰动，而且还加拍了两部续集。我想问的是，您是如何从一位武术冠军成为一名好莱坞的动作明星的？

• I think the most important thing is that when I was young, I learnt martial arts, that is my special key. I can use my unique martial arts skills in the film. But after a few years, I really want to do something different…like using martial arts to talk about peace and achieve peace.

• 这听起来似乎是矛盾的，对吗？ 您是一个打斗专家，但您却要谈“和平”？• That’s right, because culture is not just martial

arts. That’s only the physical part. It’s not true that the Chinese people are all kongfu masters and can just beat up people; and that they have no brains, no thoughts.

• As a matter of fact, we have a deep, strong and sophisticated philosophy. I feel I have the responsibility to share this information with the worldwide audience.

篇章口译• 悼念陈晓旭！“林妹妹”魂归离恨天

• Vocabulary:    Impersonator: 扮演

Celebrity: 名人 , 名流 take the tonsure ：削发为尼

breast carcinoma ：乳腺癌 introverted: 性格内向的 well-bred: 有教养的

As the old Chinese saying goes, "beautiful women suffer unhappy fates." Lin Daiyu is so, and her impersonator Chen Xiaoxu re-acted the play in her real life. Chen Xiaoxu, former Chinese actress and business celebrity, who

took the tonsure at a Buddhist temple in Changchun, in northeast China in February, died of breast carcinoma at the age of 42 last Sunday in Shenzhen in South China.

Chen Xiaoxu became a household name in China in the 1980s after being cast the lead role as Lin Daiyu in the TV play "Dream of the Red Mansion", an adaptation of the Chinese Qing Dynasty literary classic of the same name written by Cao Xueqin.

In the play, Lin Daiyu is an introverted and sensitive well-bred girl; in real life, Chen Xiaoxu acted her role in the play: She disappeared from public view for several years after the play until re-catching people's attention as a successful businesswoman and billionaire in advertising.

According to media reports, Chen's decision of tonsure came among rumors that she turned to the temple because of terminal breast carcinoma.
