Todd: OK. I'm going to talk about movies. I love movies. I think many, many people around the world today love movies. I probably see one or two movies a week on DVD in my room. I watch the movies on my computer so I am a big, big fan of movies, and I watch them all the time, but I have three big complaints about movies, about Hollywood, my country, that I wish they would change. The first complaint is that movies have too many guns. This really bothers me. If you go into a video store and you look at the cover of all the movies, almost on 50% or more of the movie covers there is somebody holding a gun, and I think this is absolutely crazy. In my country, unfortunately there are many guns, but in reality, you never see guns. People have guns, but it's not common to see a person with a gun and in movies, there's always guns and shooting and killing and violence and blood and I just think it's unnecessary, so I really wish that they would not have so many guns in movies and maybe not so much violence. My second complaint is that the stories of most of the movies today from Hollywood are terrible. They're so bad that you can't even watch the movie. I guess most movies now are geared towards special effects and visual effects so the story is often really bad and I think that's just terrible.

托德:好,我要谈谈电影。我喜欢看电影。我想现在全世界许多许多人都喜欢看电影。我大概一周在家里看一两部影碟。我也在电脑上看电影,所以我是一个实足的电影迷,我会一直看电影,不过我对电影、对我的故乡好莱坞有三大不满的地方,我希望他们能有所改变。第一个不满是电影里出现了太多枪支。这真的令我很困扰。如果你走进一家音像店,你会看到所有电影的封面,几乎50%甚至更多的电影封面上都会有拿着枪的人,我认为这绝对是一件疯狂的事情。很不幸,我们国家有许多枪支,但是实际上,你可能从未看过枪支。人们持有枪支,但是拿枪的人却并不常见,可是在电影中,总是有许多枪支和射击、杀戮、暴力血腥的场面,我认为这没有必要,所以我真的希望电影中不要出现这么多枪支和这么多的暴力场景。我的第二个不满是现在好莱坞大部分电影的剧情都很糟糕。剧情太差了,以致于你甚至都不想看那部电影。我想现在大部分电影都会采用特效和视觉效果,所以剧情通常都很差,而我认为那非常糟糕。
I wish Hollywood would make fewer movies, and concentrate on movies with a really good story, like my favorite movie is a movie called "Wallstreet" and it just has a fantastic story. Another movie I really liked was "The Paper" and also "Field of Dreams" and both these movies have really good stories and almost no special effects, so I think that we don't need so many special effects in movies. And my last thing, my last complaint about movies, is that, or Hollywood, that they stop only using beautiful people. Every time you see a movie, or movie stars, it's always really beautiful people, but in reality most of us, definitely myself, we're not beautiful. Most people look average so why don't they just use actors and actresses that look average. I'm sure that there are many, many really good actors and actresses that just aren't beautiful and they would do a fantastic job in a movie and it would be a really good story, compelling story, but they don't get the role because they're not beautiful and they're not young, and I just think that's kind of sad. I know that movies are the way they are because they are geared towards younger people, but I think there's a lot of older people, like myself, I'm 35, who would like to see more movies with good stories, less violence, less special effects, good writing, and people that look average like everybody else.
我希望好莱坞能少制作些电影,去关注那些有好剧情的电影,就像我最喜欢的电影《华尔街》一样,这部电影有非常精彩的剧情。我非常喜欢的电影还有《媒体先锋》和《梦幻之地》,这些电影的剧情都非常棒,而且几乎没有使用特效,所以我认为电影中并不需要太多特效。我对于电影或是好莱坞的最后一个不满是,我希望他们不再只启用好看的演员。每次你看电影或是电影明星的时候,总会有漂亮的面孔,但是实际上我们大多数人,我自己就绝对不是长相漂亮的人。大多数人的长相很平凡,所以为什么电影不请长相平凡的男女演员来出演呢。我确定有许多非常优秀的男女演员,他们只是长得不漂亮,但是他们可以在电影中表现得非常出色,那可能是一个拥有好剧情的电影,拥有一个引人注目的故事,但是他们没有得到电影角色仅仅是因为他们不够漂亮,他们不再年轻,我认为这真令人难过。我知道电影就是这样,因为电影是为年轻人准备的,不过我认为有许多年长的人喜欢看电影,就像我自己,我今年35岁了,我们也喜欢看拥有好剧情、少暴力、少特效的优秀作品,喜欢看和其他人一样有平凡长相的演员。
