问题 下面你将听到的是一段介绍美国著名导演斯皮尔伯格的讲话。
    Steven Spielberg’s first films were made at a time when directors were the most important people in Hollywood, and his more recent ones at a time when marketing controls the industry. He has remained the most powerful filmmaker in the world during both periods, which says something for his talent and his flexibility.
    Spielberg’s most important contribution to modern movies is his acute insight to find and attract a large audience. He ingeniously revised old-style B-movie stories with A-level craftsmanship and enhanced them with the latest developments in special effects.
    Considering such movies as the "Indiana Jones" series and "Jurassic Park". The story lines were the mediocre stuff, but the filmmaking was cutting edge and delivered what films have always desired: they showed us something amazing that we hadn’t seen before.
    The master image created in movies expresses something fundamental about the way the filmmakers see things. Spielberg once said that his master image was a simultaneous combination of brightness and mystery. This appears in many of his films.
    In Spielberg, the light source conceals mystery, whereas for many other directors it is darkness that conceals mystery. The difference is that for Spielberg, mystery offers promise instead of threat. One day he talked about a previous experience.
    "My dad took me out to see a meteor shower when I was a little kid," he said, "and it was scary for me because he woke me up in the middle of the night. My heart was beating; I didn’t know what he wanted to do. He wouldn’t tell me, and he put me in the car and we went off, and I saw all these people lying on blankets, looking up at the sky. And my dad spread out a blanket. We lay down and looked at the sky, and I saw for the first time all these meteors. "
    "What scared me was being awakened in the middle of the night and taken somewhere without being told where. But what didn’t scare me, but was very soothing, was watching this meteor shower. And I think from that moment on, I never looked at the sky and thought it was a bad place. "
    Spielberg has always maintained superb quality control and when his films work, they work on every level that a film can reach. When his films are shown, they will conquer the most sophisticated filmgoers in the world and invite them to tears and cheers.

选项

答案 斯蒂芬?斯皮尔伯格最初执导电影的时候,导演在好莱坞最为重要,而如今拍摄电影正值市场控制了整个行业。无论在哪个时期他始终是世界上最有分量的制片人,这说明他才华横溢,又极富变通。 斯皮尔伯格对现代电影最重要的贡献在于他有着敏锐的视角去发现并吸引广大观众。他巧妙地把二流的电影故事用一流技巧进行改编,并用最新的特技成果进行加工。 想想《印地安那?琼斯》系列,《侏罗纪公园》等电影。故事情节十分平庸,但电影制作是最先进的,它们表达了电影一直所追求的东西,展现出我们从没看过的令人惊叹的东西。 电影塑造的主要意象表达了电影制作人看待事物的根本方式。斯皮尔伯格有一次说他的主要意象就是将光明和神秘同时结合起来。这出现在他的许多电影中。 在斯皮尔伯格看来,光亮中掩藏着神秘,而对其他许多导演而言,黑暗中才掩藏着神秘。这其中的不同在于对斯皮尔伯格来说,神秘给人希望而不是威胁。有一天他提到了从前的一次经历。 “我还是小孩子的时候,爸爸—次带我出去看流星雨。”他说,“我很怕,因为他半夜里把我叫醒,我的心跳的很厉害,不知道他要干什么。他没告诉我,把我放在车上,就开走了,然后我看见有人躺在毯子上,抬头看着天。爸爸也把毯子铺开,我们躺下,看着天,我第一次看到了流星。” “让我害怕的是半夜里被叫醒,带出去,但不知道去哪里。但看流星雨并没有让我害怕,相反,我觉得非常舒服。我想从那时起,我再也不会看着天空而觉着它是个坏地方了。” 斯皮尔伯格总是保持着电影的卓越品质。他的电影一旦开拍,就总是在各个方面都达到电影所能做到的最好水平。每当他的电影上映,它们总能征服世界上最挑剔的观众,让大家一起流泪,一起欢呼。
