Q&A round 3
Do you have your benchmarks for a good Sci-fi movie? What makes a good Sci-fi movie?

I think it's got to have some new innovation in it so I particularly like James Bond movies.

Particularly like：尤其喜欢, 下次说“喜欢”不要再过于“淳朴”地I like啦~

James Bond Movies 007系列电影

Small twists in the tale 情节有一点点曲折

Tale ：情节，又做'story','story line','plot'

The next is it's got to have some small twists in the tale so somebody you think is bad or maybe somebody you think is evil at the beginning actually becomes either.
另一个【标准】是我希望情节能有些曲折，所以有的人一开始你觉得是个坏人，但实际上他可能是好人也可能是坏人【either】。

这句话真难倒腾呢，看看Alex是怎么舌灿莲花的~

Visual effects 视觉效果，又做'visual environment'

Sound effects 听觉效果，又做'sound environment'

That's why science fiction movies do so well in cinema.

xxx movies do well in cinema: 适合在电影院看，是不是比suitable 洋气几里地？！

When the sound is so loud, you really feel you are part of the movie.

You have to watch every minute. If you missed some information, you might misunderstand what's happening.

【侦探片】你要每一分钟都不落的看，错过一点信息就可能理解错情节。

对于“烧脑”Julie和Alex探讨了一下给大家的paraphrase:

Julie: you have to be analytical 【善于分析的】

Alex: It definitely requires your full concentration, otherwise, it can give you a bit of a brain ache. 需要全副注意力，否则，会感到有点头疼呢~

搜狐号——淘电影对该剧的评价：
'或许很难再有哪一部电视剧，能像《Fringe》这样，反复颠覆我们对这个世界的看法，使我们感觉爱因斯坦[Albert Einstein]离我们如此之近：物理学、天体物理学[Astrophysics] 、化学、生物学[biology]、医药学[Pharmacy]、刑侦学[Criminology]等等于一体的大作。'

Alex的推荐是TF Boys的一部关于人工智能的电视剧，呃……有点尴尬的是，他忘了剧名哈哈~

I watched it because it was heavily promoted. 被重度推广的

Be heavily promoted 被重度推广的

Actually it's ok, it's quite good. 还不错,还行，请忘记"just so so"。

There's a lot of moral issues in it. 【剧中提及】很多道德方面的问题【这里应该是和科技相关的道德热点问题而非一般意义上的道德问题】
