英語視頻：85屆奧斯卡動畫短片《紙人》

Introducing a ground-breaking technique that seamlessly merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques, first-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction with the Oscar-nominated short, "Paperman."

這是一次獨創(chuàng)性的技術(shù)：將電腦生成和手繪動畫天衣無縫的合二為一，第一次，導(dǎo)演約翰·卡爾斯的動畫短片《紙人》以這種大膽新穎的動畫形式奪得了奧斯卡提名(注：該片隨后被評為第85屆奧斯卡最佳動畫短片)。

Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office.

運用極簡抽象派藝術(shù)的黑白風，這部短片講述的是一個居住于中世紀紐約市的孤獨年輕男子，在他通勤的一個早晨遇見了一個美麗的女子，隨后他的命運發(fā)生了出乎意料的轉(zhuǎn)折。本深信他日思夜想的女孩再也不會出現(xiàn)了，第二次，就在街道的對面，他從自己的辦公室看到了對面摩天大樓窗口里那個女孩的身影。

With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in store for him. Created by a small, innovative team working at Walt Disney Animation Studios, "Paperman" pushes the animation medium in an exciting new direction.

他全心全意的，想象著，拿一堆文件想贏得她的注意，但是他的努力辜負了命運為他安排的邂逅。由迪士尼工作室一小支充滿創(chuàng)意的團隊制作的《紙人》，推動了動畫媒介朝新的、令人興奮的方向發(fā)展。

練習(xí)提示：這部影片全程沒有臺詞，那我們要怎樣通過這部片子學(xué)習(xí)英文呢?介紹大家一個好方法：通過觀察片中人物的神態(tài)，揣摩他們的心情，以自己創(chuàng)造發(fā)散臺詞的形式“補完”這個關(guān)于愛的小故事。你可以把想到的對話寫在紙上。這里給出例文一篇，大家對照著練習(xí)吧!
