Before reading
adaptations (movies based on books)
Now let’s read the passage to find out the author's opinion.
Good Book, Bad Movie
Good Book，Bad Movie
1.They say that “a picture is worth a thousand words”，but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often，great words end up being turned into cinematic turkeys”.
人们常说“一图胜千词”，但是简单对照一下书籍和由之而改编的电影，就会让人们开始质疑这一说法。很多时候，优秀的文字作品最终却变成电影中的失败之作。
1.be worth sth./doing sth. 值...(钱、价格)；值得做某事
This problem is worth discussing.
This problem is worth discussion.
2.be based on 以...为基础/依据
3.have+宾语+宾补（非谓语动词）
He had her go there.
He had her standing in the rain for two hours
He had his wallet stolen at the railway station.
4.All too often时常;通常
5.end up doing 以做...结束
6.turn into 变成
have sb. do sth. 让某人做某事
have sb. doing sth. 让某人一直做某事
have +宾语+过去分词 让别人做某事/遭遇某种不幸
be worth doing值得做
be worthy to do sth./ be worthy to be done 值得做某事/值得被做
be worthy of doing sth./ be worthy of being done值得做某事/值得被做
It is worthwhile doing sth./ to do sth.干某事是值得的
①翻译:这本书值得看
The book is worth reading. =The book is worthy of being read. = The book is worthy to be read.
=It is worthwhile reading /to read the book.
Read for the main idea of paragraph 1
The author puts forward a phenomenon that great words often end up being turned into cinematic “turkeys”.
2. Good movies need good stories. If so，why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling，Homer’s The Odyssey， never had an equally great movie (based on it) Movies need strong characters. So why have the movies (based on The Great Gatsby) never been praised as “great” Movies of course need impressive images，so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies (best described as “interesting”)
　
好的电影需要好的故事。若是如此，那为什么西方叙事文本中最早且最优秀的作品之一——荷马的《奥德赛》——从未产生过同样优秀的改编电影呢？电影中需要个性鲜明的人物。那为什么基于《了不起的盖茨比》改编的电影从未被称赞为“优秀”呢？电影当然需要令人印象深刻的画面，那为什么由《爱丽丝梦游仙境》改编的电影顶多被称为“有点意思”呢？
1.If so如果这样的话
2. equally adv.同样地
3. be praised as 被称赞为…;被誉为是…
4. impressive images给人印象深刻的画面
5. resulted in 导致,造成” 同义短语为 lead to
6. described as 过去分词短语作后置定语

2. What’s the function of Paragraph 2
A．To raise the reader’s cultural awareness.
B．To prove good movies need good stories.
C． To further confirm that good books always end up being turned into bad movies.
D．To show that movies need impressive images.
3. One of the key reasons behind this is (that while a book usually takes a few days to read，a movie typically lasts under two hours). This means (that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen). This is something (that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can’t escape from)，(with fans of the books disappointed) not to see some of their favourite characters in the movie versions.
这背后的一个重要原因是，一本书通常需要花几天的时间来阅读，而一部电影通常不会超过两小时。这就意味着优秀的书籍被搬上大银幕之后，会删减一些情节和人物。这是连大获成功的“哈利·波特”系列电影也无法避免的事情，有些书迷因为在电影中没看到自己最喜欢的一些角色而感到失望。
1.that引导表语从句：无成份，无意义
2.while并列连词, “而，然而”（对比）
3. take time to do sth.花费时间做某事
4.something 作为先行词时，关系代词只能用 that
5. typically adv.典型的
6. with的复合结构(with +宾语+宾补)
7.be disappointed to do sth. 因做某事而感到失望
8. movie version 电影版
Read for the main idea of paragraph 3
One of the reasons is that plot details and characters can be lost.
The old man walked (with a stick in his hand).
He just sat there (with his mouth open).
He fell asleep (with the light on).
(With so many people watching her), she felt at a loss.
(With his homework finished), he went out playing football with his friends happily.
(With so much work to do), the boy can't watch TV.
with 后的宾语补足语
With a lot of questions _________, the new president is having a hard time. (settle)
2) In parts of Asia you must not sit with your feet
_________ at another person. (point)
3) The murderer was brought in, with his hands
___________ behind his back. (tie)
4) With the time ________by, she came to understand his mother. (pass)
to settle
pointing

4.Movies also disappoint us when things don’t look the way we imagined them in the books. Take，for example，the epic movie Troy，(which is in part based on Homer’s The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience). The most questionable issue was the actress (chosen to play the part of Helen). Many people thought she didn’t live up to Helen’s title of “the most beautiful woman in the world”，influencing opinions of the movie to some extent.
电影呈现出的事物与我们读书时的想象的有落差时，我们也会备感失望。以史诗电影《特洛伊》为例，该电影部分改编自荷马的《伊利亚特》，观众对它的评论褒贬不一。其中最有争议的问题在于扮演海伦的女演员。许多人认为她配不上海伦“世界上最美丽的女人”这一称号，这在一定程度上影响了人们对这部电影的看法。
1. epic movie史诗电影
2. in part 在某种程度上;部分地=partially
3. meet with 遭受,受到 mixed adj.混合的;混杂的
5. review n./v.复习;评论;检查
6. questionable adj.可疑的;有问题的

9. title n. 标题，称号，头衔
10. influencing 非谓语动词作结果状语
=in a way/to some degree

Another reason is that things we expected may disappear in the movies.

5.There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. Furthermore， books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind，perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right，and not against its original source. Interestingly， audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men，(which can have many characters and gradual plot development). Perhaps，one day，readers(of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most admired work)will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.
一千个读者就有一千个哈姆雷特。而且书籍和电影是两种不同的媒体形式，因此也遵循不同的原则。考虑到这一点，也许我们应该基于电影本身而不是将其与原始版本进行对比来评价电影。值得注意的是，观众已经逐渐将兴趣转向了《神探夏洛克》或《广告狂人》这样的电视连续剧，因为电视剧能展现更多人物，情节也得以逐步展开。也许有一天，F. 斯科特·菲茨杰拉德最杰出作品的读者们，会发现自己已被《了不起的盖茨比》的剧集深深吸引。
1. Furthermore此外；而且
2. with...in mind 把……放在心上
3. in one’s own right 凭借自身
5. turn to转向 ;求助于 television series 电视连续剧
6. admired work 杰出作品;被赞美的作品
