第一篇：凯文英语中心,凯文老师,李安 人定胜天,还是心存敬畏 《少年派的奇幻漂流》 中英文

李安 人定胜天，还是心存敬畏 《少年派的奇幻漂流》 2012年11月2日，李安在北京为媒体放映了新片《少年派的奇幻漂流》中20分钟的片段，主要是壮观悦目的场面戏，比如惊心动魄的海上风暴和沉船，或者成群飞鱼穿梭划过救生艇上的少年和老虎。

2009年10月，詹姆斯·卡梅隆的3D电影《阿凡达》离北美首映还不到两个月，20世纪福克斯电影公司在影片官网上发布了一条新预告片。同月，李安透露自己的新片是《少年派的奇幻漂流》。加拿大作家杨·马特尔的同名小说原作2001年出版，2002年得了曼布克图书奖，李安早就看过。福克斯公司买下改编权，接洽过M·奈特·沙马兰、阿方索·卡隆、让-皮埃尔·热内等大导演，都没有做下去。大约2009年2月，这项目到了李安手里。2010年4月，《阿凡达》的全球票房收得27亿美元，创下了影史新纪录。此时李安已在台湾和印度为新片看景。他决定要用3D技术拍摄新片。

2011年3月，在台中一个名叫水湳的废弃机场，《少年派的奇幻漂流》正式开拍。李安从卡梅隆的公司租用了卡梅隆参与开发设计的3D摄影机。这部电影的主角是半大孩子、动物，还有大量的水上场景，这三样是电影行里公认最难拍的，导演没事最好别自找麻烦。拿到项目时李安心想三样最麻烦的都齐了，也就无所谓再多来一样，这就是3D。

电影和小说的英文原名叫“Life of Pi”，派的一生，但中国人很容易拼成“屁的一生”。名字的确是片中主角背了一辈子的麻烦。少年生长在印度法属殖民地旁迪切里。父亲第一个生意伙伴曾是南印度的游泳冠军，1930年代在巴黎上过两年学，对巴黎从低端到高档的泳池了如指掌。父亲不会水，但最爱听这个叔叔聊巴黎泳池，于是叔叔嘴里的天堂级泳池Piscine Molitor直接成了少年的名字。

Piscine是法语的“泳池”，但这个字的发音几乎等于英语里进行时态的“小便（Pissing）”，这自然成了学校同学对少年最脱口而出的奚落。少年于是给自己改名叫“派”，圆周率 父亲经营动物园。与世界上大多数人相比，少年派有着独特的成长环境，所以他对世界的认知也不那么平常。

时世艰难，父亲决定全家搬去加拿大，带着部分动物。货船在风暴里沉没，上了救生艇的只有派、名叫理查·帕克的孟加拉虎、红毛猩猩、鬣狗和一匹受伤的斑马。没几天，小艇上只剩派和虎，他们在海上漂了277天。李安在台湾的拍摄也持续了9个月。

所有的水上场面，在台中旧机场搭建的庞大水槽拍摄。水槽长75米，宽35米，一头用12台抽水机造浪，另一头人工消浪，以免浪头反射回水面影响浪的形状。

老虎爱游泳，所以老虎游水的镜头是实拍的，但它不喜欢水面上漂浮的船，所以要把船放在一台升降机上摇着拍，再用电脑特技做到海面上。拍完片子一共用了四只虎，戏还好说，拍不到的可以用电脑特效，麻烦的是动物保护组织很厉害。“不止是美国的团体来看，台湾也有两个团体随时过来，都要写报告。”李安告诉记者，“后来印度也很紧张，因为有个镜头我们做得太像，他们不相信是电脑动画，觉得是把老虎弄昏了，虐待它，我们要把每道制作工序发邮件给他们，让他们了解是怎么做的。”

一些室内戏在旁边的旧机库搭景拍摄。台湾政府给了李安非常充分的支援。“简直是要什么给什么，常常还更多。”李安说，这部戏投资8000万美元，只是十年前《绿巨人》的一半成本，如果在美国，“肯定做不出来”。

少年派要跟老虎理查·帕克对峙，让自己活下来；生存问题解决了，面对无止境的孤舟漂流，怎么能够不发疯，他需要精神力量。李安觉得电影里蛮感人的一个地方，是小船终于靠岸，老虎没人性，不曾回头看一眼少年，自顾从沙滩上走了。少年派倒一厢情愿地动了很多情。“说万物有情，其实都是人自己的心境。所以这电影不是讲人际关系，而是讲人跟自己的关系。这跟我过去的电影不太一样。”

派活了下来，日本货船的保险公司派来两个调查员，详细询问货船沉没的过程和他生存下来的经过。派讲了自己和老虎理查·帕克的故事，调查员根本不相信。于是派又讲了另一个故事——原来逃上救生艇的并不是老虎、猩猩、鬣狗和斑马，而是他自己、母亲、法国厨子和中国海员，在海上漂流的277天里四个人之间当然发生了很多残酷的事。“你们喜欢哪个故事？”派问调查员。

原著吸引李安的正是这种寓言性。“漂到大海之后面对的是一个神，老天爷。信仰究竟是什么？靠你的聪明智慧、理解能力，靠科学能够证实的东西，到一个层级就没有了，下一步怎么办？存在的意义是什么？它做这番探讨，然后用很巧妙的比喻，就像派讲故事，他问你喜欢哪一个——不是相信哪一个——不可置信的故事，还是完全可以相信但却灰暗无趣的故事？”

这种黑暗的内容很难在一部主流电影里找到合适的处理方式。所以3D再难拍，水和老虎再难拍，“最难弄的还是面对片厂。这个片子结尾是挺拧的，不好搞。”李安当然不会透露电影究竟是怎么做的，只是说，“明眼人看的时候能感觉到情感不是很流畅，好像还有什么东西要讲，还可以深思。我也算是蛮会拍电影的人，但真是难搞，有时候真的被它难到，就像拍3D一样，也没有人能给我指导。”

他希望那些夺目的3D奇观足以让大多数观众心满意足。“虽然大众看比较粗浅的东西，可是他们对心灵的追求也是有的，你怎样引导他，在表面上让他不要抗拒，能够看得懂，能够投入，我觉得这其实比拍艺术片还难。”李安说，“3D，观众现在还比较好奇，心路活了，可能接受力就比较强。所以我得想尽方法吸引他们的注意力，丝丝入扣一秒钟都不能放松。文艺片爱怎么拍怎么拍，看不懂是你水准不够，我觉得还挺容易的。深入浅出、老少咸宜、各取所需，其实还真的难弄。”

从《卧虎藏龙》拍到自己的首部3D电影，李安也像是漂流过来。《卧虎藏龙》全世界大卖，他觉得自己好像没有什么不能做的，“比较冲一点，利害还搞不清楚”，于是拍了昂贵的《绿巨人》。虽然没赔，可口碑不好——电影公司把李安经营的沉重主题当作“蜘蛛侠”那样的片子去卖，观众心理预期有了落差。

他心里怄气，想安静一下，去拍了个“都没有什么人会去看”的电影，成本很小，《断背山》。没想到拿了奥斯卡最佳导演。他就想做《色，戒》，“因为过去看过，一直在脑海里面，现在不拍可能以后没有机会了”。《色，戒》拍得很“伤”，然后接了比较纯真快乐的《制造伍德斯托克》，“那是美国最后一个纯真年代，过了之后美国就变成现在的样子。它打动我，希望它能让我快乐一点”。

《少年派的奇幻漂流》是10年前的畅销书，中学老师都让学生看后作各种讨论。李安说，美国相信人是得天独厚、世界独强，它又是个年轻国家，追寻自由，觉得什么都是人力可以克服的。主掌世界的好莱坞电影，剧情发展总是让人看着舒服，天遂人愿成了主流电影理所当然的思路。“可我觉得时候也到了，像我们成长在中国，不太信这套，什么人定胜天——人对老天爷是要有敬畏的。这书正好是个机会，让我觉得在这方面可以有发挥。” 李安也爱上了3D这种全新媒介。与卡梅隆不一样，他觉得3D尤其适合表现舞台，因为有了纵深，3D拍摄的场面调度完全是舞台式的。“只要钱够，我想拍下去。我有好奇心。2D可能从1960年代到现在没什么新的东西，该知道的都知道了。”李安说。

《少年派的奇幻漂流》中两个故事，你更喜欢哪个？奇幻那个是选择，残酷那个是事实。实际发生的是哪一个无法证实，重要的是你相信哪一个。喜欢奇幻故事的，说明相信奇迹，倾向于认为信仰与爱比事实更重要。很多人虽喜欢前一个，却不得不接受残酷的那一个，他们被认为有功利的务实倾向。

《Life of Pi》的观后感：1）哪个故事不重要，重要的如何和心中的老虎（欲望和恐惧）共存。智者会放弃驯服它，能避免被它吞噬，反而从它吸取生命力，2）哪个宗教不重要，重要的是在困境下保持信念和希望，相信你所有的遭遇，必有其道理，3）不能期待完美结局，甚至不必珍重告别，但是需要能够放下。

IS there anything Ang Lee can't do?

The pithy answer might be: Large, angry, green men.Yes, Lee's “Hulk” was not well received.But in his incredibly varied filmography, Lee has steadily steered films that could very well have turned disastrous into box-office hits and Oscar bait.Combining martial arts with drama? “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” became the highest grossing foreign language film ever, more than double any previous foreign film.A film about gay cowboys?

“Brokeback Mountain” was nominated for eight Oscars, winning three, including best director.Few filmmakers have been so drawn to such delicate material where even slight shifts in tone or execution could mean the difference

between a hit or a flop.That couldn't be truer for Lee's new film, “Life of Pi,” a supreme balancing act for a filmmaker accustomed to working on tightropes.In an interview the day after “Life of Pi” premiered at the New York Film Festival, Lee sat down with obvious relief.Asked how he was doing, Lee exhaled: “Better than I thought.”

The first screening had gone well: the 3-D “Life of Pi” was greeted as a success and immediately added to the Oscar race.For even Lee,knowing which side of the sword a film of his will fall isn't clear until the first audience sees it.“I've been holding this anxiety for a long time.It's an expensive

movie,” said Lee.“It's really like the irrational number of pi.For a long time it felt that wayand matters of God and faith are far from typical blockbuster fodder.For those reasons and others, the project went through several directors, including Alfonso Cuaron, M Night Shyamalan and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.Lee, then, was a kind of savior, one of few directors capable of

corralling all the difficult elements of ”Life of Pi.“ His imprimatur helps carry it, given that the cast is one of unknowns(Sharma, only 17 when cast, hadn't previously acted), digital creations(a combination of real tigers and digital effects were used)and international actors(Irrfan Khan and Gerard Depardieu).Elizabeth Gabler, president of Fox 2000 Pictures, calls the filma huge gamble.”Why do I dare, a Chinese director, do Jane Austen when I still speak pidgin English?“ Lee said, referring to his 1995 film ”Sense and

Sensibility.“ ”It's still a leap of faith, you're taking a risk.Every movie is unknown.If it's known, then no studio would lose money.“

Lee was born and raised in Taiwan, where he initially pursued acting.Artistic endeavor in 1960s and 1970s Taiwan, he says, was considered a low profession, not the choice of his father.Lee emigrated from Taiwan to attend college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and then film school at New York

University.The 58-year-old still lives in the New York area with his wife

and two sons.His first three films, all in Mandarin and revolving around Chinese families, were followed by ”Sense and Sensibility,“ his Hollywood arrival.But it was 1997's ”The Ice Storm,“ an adaptation of Rick Moody's novel about a Connecticut family's disaster in the swinging 1970s, that Lee says changed his perception of filmmaking.”A movie is really provocation,“ says Lee.”It's not a message, it's not a statement.“

”Life of Pi" was certainly full of lessons and trials.Lee spent a year making a 70-minute pre-visual animation of the middle chunk of the film set at sea to hone his skills.

第二篇：凯文英语中心,凯文老师,邵逸夫仙逝享年107岁

1月7日早晨6时55分，邵逸夫在香港家中安详离世，享年107岁。邵逸夫祖籍浙江宁波。邵逸夫是TVB荣誉主席，邵氏兄弟电影公司的创办人之一，香港上海商会成员，香港著名的电影制作者。多年来，邵逸夫捐助数以百亿计款项，为内地、香港两地建设教育医疗设施等。邵逸夫英文名“Run Run”的由来有不同版本。坊间一直认为他当年在南洋打拼，经常抱着菲林奔走于各大戏院，故取此名，有跑腿的意思；但有指这传闻出自周润发的一个玩笑，并不正确。根据黄霑的《数风云人物》引述邵逸夫的解释，英文名其实是利用他的本名“仁楞”的国语发音来拼成。

Run Run Shaw, one of the pioneers of 20th century Chinese film, died peacefully in the company of his family at his home on Tuesday morning.He was 107.His death was a profound loss for Hong Kong’s film and TV industry.Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive CY Leung commended his great contribution to the local entertainment industry and his charity work.“Run Run Shaw has for a long time promoted the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, his philanthropy also has spread from Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland and beyond.He is an elder that we very much respect.” Leung said.Shaw, born in 1907 in Zhejiang Province, entered the entertainment industry with his

brother in the 1920s.He created a media empire in Asia spanning movies to television.He co-founded the Shaw Brothers film studio, which churned out nearly 1,000 movies as it popularized the kung fu genre that would go on to have an impact on Hollywood.“Mr.Shaw’s company made many Chinese films.Because of him, the level of movie

production at that time had been improved a lot.” Ng See Yuen, chairman of Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers, said.Shaw was also the founder of Hong Kong’s dominant TV station, Television Broadcasts, or TVB, which is still one of the major forces of content production and talent management in the region.Shaw was not only one of the most influential figures in Asia’s entertainment industry, but also a well-known philanthropist.Over the years, he has donated billions of Hong Kong

Dollars to charities, schools and hospitals.He established an international award, the Shaw Prize, for scientists in areas covering astronomy, mathematics, and life and medical science.The press called it the “Nobel Prize of the East”.Shaw’s funeral will be a private event, to be attended only by family members.Many will surely miss the man known for generosity and eye for entertainment.

第三篇：凯文英语中心,凯文老师,《变形金刚4》打破多项国内票房记录

【《变4》票房三天吸金6亿】《变形金刚4：绝迹重生》6月27日中国内地和北美同步上映，受到中国内地观众热烈追捧，助力其创多个内地票房纪录，接连刷新中国内地影史首日、单日、首周票房纪录，上映三天已经疯狂吸金6.13亿元。以首周末3天报收6.3亿的走势来看，即使第二周7天仅收到6亿，那么打破《阿凡达》在内地盘桓近五年的13.78亿纪录也是指日可待。据悉，好莱坞电影为了开拓中国市场，试图在影片中加入大量的中国元素，2016年的《阿凡达2》、《变形金刚5》等片，预计都会把更多的注意力对准中国市场。

Though well prepared, China's movie market watchers are still stunned by the

unprecedented opening of “Transformers: Age of Extinction”, estimated to have grossed some 200 million yuan(32.2 million U.S.dollars)on the first screening day.Michael Bay, who successfully directed the last three “ Transformers,” embraced a lot of Chinese characters this time.As well as mega cities like Hong Kong, Beijing and Guangzhou, the picturesque county of Wulong in southwest China’s Chongqing City serves as a location in the film.The blockbuster features several Chinese stars, including actress Li

Bingbing.Meanwhile, Chinese brands are also represented by the likes of dairy product company Yili and automaker Guangzhou Automobile Group.The movie's audience was 64 percent male and 58 percent were 25 years of age and over, who awarded it an A-CinemaScore.Only 17 percent of critics on Rotten Tomatoes, however, think highly of the film.The film features an entirely new cast of human characters and is the first in the series to feature the Dinobots.Returning Transformers include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Leadfoot, and Brains.The film was released on June 27, 2014, in IMAX and 3D.Since its release, the movie has received negative reviews from critics;criticizing the plot, script, direction and acting, but praising the action scenes and visual effects and Wahlberg and Tucci's performances.

第四篇：凯文英语中心,凯文老师,学生如何调整状态快速适应新学期？

开学第一周的时间，大部分孩子都还处在“娱乐模式”，很难进入到学习状态。教育心理专家研究表明，学生开学期间需要对学习环境、课程进度和作息时间进行适应，从“被学习”进入到安心学习的时间少则两三天，多则一两周。因此凯文老师建议家长应在开学前一周，根据学校老师的教学安排和要求，结合孩子的实际情况，和孩子一起制定适合自己的学习计划。

提前克服不良习惯早收心

在暑假许多孩子习惯了晚睡晚起，饮食和生活不规律，容易造成生物钟紊乱。开学前一周，学生就应该按照学校的作息时间安排自己的生活，做好体力储备。暑假学生处于放松状态，如果突然施加过多压力，很容易导致情绪低落、萎靡不振等现象，更有甚者出现抵触情绪，对开学产生恐惧心理。因此凯文老师提醒同学们预习新知识是非常有必要的。

新学期，给老师留下新印象

许多学校都会一开学便举办入学考试，这是对孩子在暑期的学习状态最好的检查。对同学来说，这也是一次重新树立形象的好机会。新的学期是新的开始，家长应该告诉孩子过去的优秀与失败都已经翻篇。相信新的学期每个孩子都很想给新老师留下好印象，这是孩子改变自己很好的机会。

升学仅是人生一小步

与升学班的神秘感不同，毕业班的孩子面临的将是更大的压力。面对压力，毕业班的孩子要调整好心态，最好的办法还是做好充分的准备，在潜移默化中放松压力。凯文老师认为，调整毕业生的心态还需要从毕业班的特点开始，毕业班的知识是过去多年知识的总和，还要学习新的知识。升学仅是人生一小步，家长更要注重的是孩子未来的发展。

第五篇：凯文老师,2015年上海高考英语作文题目(作文解析和)

2015年上海高考英语作文解析，及，作文范文

II.Guided Writing(25分)

Directions: Write an English composition in 120–150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.学校即将举办“读书节”，目前正广泛征集“读书节”宣传册图片。假设你是该校学生潘阳，你已找到以下三幅图片，决定给读书节组委会写一封信，推荐其中一幅，你的信须包括以下内容：

1.简单描述你想推荐的那幅图片；

2.阐述你用这幅图片宣传“读书节”的理由。

作文解析：

今年的英语作文题目同样重点考察了主观理由型作文的写作手法，这篇文章要求学生在三幅学校读书节宣传图片当中选出自己最喜欢的一幅，对图片进行描述并说明原因。这也是继2013年和2014年连续两年考察书信体与主观理由型文章的结合体之后出现的第三篇主观理由型文章。

整体来看，今年的作文题目似乎与往年没有什么区别，但细细分析，我们会发现今年英语作文的难度，不管是在文章内容、还是在形式上面，都有了大幅提升。因为考生需要同时兼顾三个难点：

1、书信体正确的的书写格式；

2、对图片内容进行细节的描述；

3、找出恰当的理由(2-3点)进行论证，说理充分，同时注意论点和论据相结合，以及文章语句之间的逻辑严密性。可以说，近三年来英语作文虽然都在考察主观理由这个大的方向，但是考察的难度确实是在逐年递增。

对于考生来说，要想在短短的20分钟之内写好这篇作文，首先需要拿捏好这篇文章的结构。一般来说，文章第一段用来引出话题，第二段可以对所选择的图片进行描写，描写时要格外注意的地方是对细节的详细描述，基本内容讲清楚就可以开始第三段的理由阐述了。

写好重头戏理由之后，在尾段我们无需过多笔墨，基本上通过三句话就可以收尾了。也就是总结加升华，由于这是一篇征集建议的书信体文章，所以需要最后有一句客套话，考生可以通过Looking forward to your reply或者I will appreciate it very much if you can take my suggestions into consideration进行文章自然收尾。这样整篇文章便达到了内容统一，结构完整，说理充分了

作文范文：

Dear Sir/ Madam，Since the Reading Festival is around the corner, I’m writing to recommend a picture which can be used in the brochure to remind the students of the pleasure of reading.In the picture, three students are sitting at the table, discussing heatedly what they have just read.It seems that they have had a lot of fun through the discussion.Though it is admitted that reading is mostly a personal activity which needs quietness and concentration, as far as I’m concerned, it can also be a sharing experience when the same book is being appreciated.Just imagine that you have read a terrific detective story with fascinating and intricate plots.You are so amazed by the genius of the writer and you can’t help sharing it with your classmates or best friends, who turn out to have been deeply impressed as well.The moment you mention the book, the passion and enthusiam about the story will explode which can never be gained on your own.My ideal atmosphere of reading is just like that, through which you can not only appreciate the content by yourself, but also have the pleasure of sharing the plots or opinions with your peers, which will ultimately enhance your understanding of the book.To sum up, the reason of my recommendation is quite simple and apparent that reading, instead of being dull and isolating, can be full of particiation and common interest.I sincerely hope that you will take my suggestion into consideration and I’m looking forward to your early reply.Yours，Pan Yang
