转录【1/10】 Hi everyone, it's Gossip English time.尬聊英语时间又到啦。Let's learn English throughgossip. This is Yao. And I'm Wing. Hello. Hi. Yao, we've just talked about a recent hit sci-fi series, Three-Body Problem by Netflix. Do you know any movie genres other than sci-fi? Movie genre? Let me think. Maybe horror 恐怖片。 Yeah, and crime? 犯罪片. Do you know how many movie genres in total? 10? Actually, 13. 13! Yeah, of course, science fiction, sci-fi, 科幻片, like "Three-Body Problem", we talked about before. Crime， 犯罪片，像《教父》，“godfather". Wow, "Godfather", the very classic one. Yes, and horror you just mentioned, like "The Ring". I hated that movie so much. It scared me so much when I was little，《午夜凶铃》。 You know, I really, I never watch any horror movie. Even though I close my eyes, I can still hear the sound, you know? It really scares the shit out of me. veah，我还记得《午夜凶铃》那个贞子，出来那个镜头。 当时我看那个电视，我都有点 PTSD，我好怕他有什么东西会从电视里面爬出来。 PTSD, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder，创伤性压力症，就是那个电影后遗症。 对。Any other genres？ Of course,for example, action, like “Fast and Furious”动作片，《速度与激情》。是的，非常经典。Drama，戏剧片，like《肖申克的救赎》，"The Shawshank Redemption". Fantasy, 奇幻片, like "The Law of the Rings" 《指环王》，sorry！ Our Cantonese Mandarin.Sorry！广普，两个广普在这里聊。And comedy.戏剧片。像我们最爱的 Steven Chow。周星驰。 Okay, Wing,so let's see 你是不是星爷的老粉了。我来说一句，你看一下能不能接下一句。 好。 不去上班行不行？唔通你养我？ Well done, well done. 对啊，我就看的是粤语版。 看来我们还是同频的啊。 对啊. Okay, so any other genres? Yes, romance，爱情片，like “Titanic” 《泰坦尼克号》。Oh my gosh, you know, this is actually one of my favorite movies when l was a child, even though they have some naked scenes. Like, you jump, I jump. Actually those lines are never ever in the movie, but somehow the fans make it happen. Like, you jump, I jump, Jack and Rose. Yes, you know, let me tell you a little secret. Okay, I love secrets. So once I was in the cruise with my ex-boyfriend, we went to the front of the cruise and I opened my arm. You know, can you imagine what happened? Of course, he hugged you from your back just like Jack and Rose.

转录【2/10】 Yeah, luckily it was like that, not like he was going to push me to the sea. Sayonara. Okay, so do you still have other types of films? Yes, there are four more, actually. Sports, like "Dango". Oh, I watched that before. 《摔跤吧，爸爸!》 It was an Indian movie, so inspiring. 对，是一个体育片，《摔跤吧，爸爸》。And thriller，惊悚片，like "The Silence of the Lambs”，《沉默的羔羊》 oh, very classic too. Mystery，悬疑片，like “Seven"一《七宗罪》。War， 战争片，like “Saving Private Ryan" 《拯救大兵瑞恩》。Oh, l actually miscalculated the number. There's one more, it's Western，西部片, like "Unforgiven" "Unforgiven"? Yeah，中文叫《无名英雄》。Actually, I really like this movie, and before this one, there's a trilogy. Also performed by the famous Western movie actor called Clint Eastwood. And this Unforgiven is directed by him. Because in the trilogy, the main character that he performed never told anyone inside the movie his name. So no one knows what his name is in those three movies. Really? Yeah, and that's why the name of the fourth one, which was directed by himself, is called “Unforgiven"， and the Chinese translation is《无名英雄》。 哦，就是他从来没有说过他名字，所以在第四部的时候就说无名英雄。 对，我觉得中文这个翻译名字非常好。 嗯，信达雅。 对，就叫《无名英雄》。 Interesting. Yeah, and this is one of my favorite genres, and actually there's a Chinese take on Western movie, and it's called《让子弹飞》，"let the bullets fly"，directed by 姜文，也是一部很推荐的电影。I don't know if you have watched it before. I never watched it. Oh, I recommend it strongly. Okay, I'm already marked down in my notes. After today, I think you are going to have a lot of movies to watch. Really? Yeah. Today we are going to talk about a movie again. Guess what genre I'm going to talk about this time. Is it horror movie? No, it's science fiction again. Yeah, I should say science fiction because you are a sci-fi fan. You are a huge fan. Yeah, I think after "Three-Body Problem", I have to bring up my sci-fi enlightenment film. 就是我科幻片的启蒙电影。 *The Matrix”.“Matrix"？The《黑客帝国》。 Oh, wow. 粤语翻译的话也是叫《22世纪杀人网络》22世纪杀人网络（粵语）就是香港那边的英语。 怎么那么长？Matrix 就一个单词。

【转录3/10】 对啊，因为我们有时候翻译就不仅仅是直译嘛，也可以是意译。它的《22世纪杀人网络》就完完整整的，其实表达出来它这个片是关于什么的。 Окау. Have you ever watched it before? Sorry, I haven't seen it yet. Again? Well, those are one of the classics. I guess we are kind of offbeats, like I haven't watched any Harry Potter movies and you haven't watched any of Matrix movies. Yeah, I'm so sorry. I think because we are independent minded and cool, you know, because somehow you're into sci-fi and maybe I'm more into the romance. Sure thing. Do you know why this Matrix amazed me so much? It's a mind-bending sci-fi movie. I watched it when I was so little, I think during my primary school or something. Wow. I still can recall the first time I watched it, my jaw was dropping the whole time. Wow, your jaw was dropping?就非常的令你惊讶，目瞪口呆。 Can you imagine in the last century, almost a decade before the first iPhone was released, someone asked you, have you thought about living in a simulated reality? What？所以在第一步iPhone出来之前，然后这部电影已经拍了？而且是关于虚拟世界？ 10年前，差不多比第一部苹果手机早10年。 Oh my gosh.你根本没有办法想象我第一次看到iPhone 可以玩那个切西瓜的时候。 我有玩过。 我当时已经震惊，啊，还可以这么玩？我根本没有办法想象在那个时候，然后已经可以构造出，就是想象这个虚拟世界是怎么样。Oh my gosh. That must be so mind-blowing and mind-bending. How about you? Well, the simulated reality is beyond my imagination. It's not only thinking out of the box, but also I would never ever imagine in that way. But now when I think of simulated reality, it actually brings me profound sense of peace. Because I know all the hardship, difficulties and obstacles are merely data represented by zeros and ones. Zeros and ones? 对啊，就是如果是虚拟世界，不管是你还是我，我们都是零跟一的构造。对于我而言，所有人都是 NPC。你在我面前也是 NPC.，我才是主角。所以一切都迎刃而解。 对不起，我现在 CPU 已经烧了。 But anyway, I bet you must know the most iconic scene. Which one? Which is the Neo performed by one's most handsome man in the world, Keanu Reeves, defines the laws of physics and dodges bullets in slow motion. Oh wow, ok, I remember that. That scene was legendary. Who can forget this? I saw it so many times, even though I haven't watched these movies before.

【转录4/10】 Yeah, that's very classic. As a filmmaker and movie lover, I think that scene really set the bar high for action movies. I know many movies and comedy sketches，那些搞笑段子，pay tribute to that scene. Exactly, that's how I know this movie. Exactly. Plus, the philosophical themes about reality and perception were so thought-provoking. 所以就是关于现实和那个认知的哲学是非常发人深省的，是的。 For me, it's one of those movies that you can watch multiple times and still discover something new each time, like an onion peeling back layers of reality with each viewing. And I know actually some video channels dedicated all their contents to Matrix. Really? So this channel is only for Matrix? Yeah.就是那部电影真的每次看都有新的东西出来，就是跟我们剥那个洋葱是一样，层层剥，所以有些视频，频道就专门讲”Matrix”《黑客帝国》。 就《黑客帝国》就已经可以养活一个 channel 了，一个频道了。 养不养活，我倒不知道。但是它整个 channel 都是关于它，还蛮多粉丝的。 所以如果你们看了《黑客帝国》的话，可能每次看有不一样的新发现。 是的. And that has sparked a strong curiosity in me for various knowledge, especially the principles of science. I want to figure out what our world is really like. Oh my gosh, you know, your introduction is so good. I just can't wait to watch it. You have to put it on your watch list. Of course. Let me know what you think after you watch it. It's always fun discussing the different theories and interpretations. Of course. I'm so looking forward to it. Do you know why I bring up this movie after 25 years? Is it because we just talked about the three-body problem in the first episode? Not really. It's due to some great news I heard. What kind of great news? Warner Brothers announces the fifth Matrix movie is in the works. Wait, wait, wait. You said fifth one? Yes. I haven't watched the previous four movies. Oh my gosh. So now I have four movies to catch up with. Okay, so what are they? Well, one by one. Okay, I'm already taking some notes. The first Matrix is called "The Matrix", of course. It tells you we are living in a simulated world. A computer hacker named Neo discovers the truth and joins a rebellion against the Al or the machine.

【转录5/10】 所以在第一部的时候，就是说我们生活在一个虚拟的世界，然后有一个叫 Neo 的黑客，他发现了真相，并且加入了反抗 AI 人工智能或者机器的叛乱。 Yeah, so can you guess the second one? Is it talking about how Neo fights against the Al? Sort of. The second one is about the preparation of fighting the Al. That's why it's called "The Matrix Reloaded” 就像我们那个枪上膛，那个子弹上膛的感觉。所以它第二部是，主要就是为之后一战准备。 OK，所以它花了一部电影的时间来讲它怎么准备。 对的，很重要呀，这个准备过程很重要呀。过程最重要。 Okay, it makes sense. Then, of course, the number three comes the final battle. That's why it's called "The Matrix Revolutions". Hooray，终于打仗了。 Okay, it seems like it should be the end of the series. At least for me, I feel like it should be. But here comes the number four "The Matrix Resurrections". Neo awakens in a new version of the Matrix and seeks to break free from it once again. Wait, what? Once again? So it's all over again? 对呀，第四部就重启嘛，所以 Neo 在新版的矩阵里苏醒，就重新对抗。 I think we're in a loop. 我们在一个死循环当中。 对啊，差不多呀。大的IP 就是这样赚钱的嘛。 Okay, so why would you recommend this movie then? Actually, ! would recommend you to just watch the first three, also famously known as The Matrix Trilogy. The Matrix Trilogy.就是黑客帝国三部曲。 TERS. After all, the average score of the first three on Douban is 8.9, while the fourth one is only 5.7. Seriously?So，前三部在豆瓣是8.9，然后第四部是5.7 对呀，本来它自己都有个角色叫 Trinity，叫三位一体。然后它就拍三部就好了嘛，不要拍到第四部。 我就想起有很多的剧，他们拍前几部的时候还挺高分，但是最后烂尾了。Oh, so that means the fifth one is probably bad too? Well, I think that's why the studio confirmed in a press release they're going to hire a new director for the fifth one. Who is he? His name is called Drew Goddard. He's very famous for his work. You've probably heard of them， “Daredevil” and“Martian”.就是《超胆侠》和《火星救援》。 Oh, I know. I know the “Martian”.那个《火星救援》很有名，之前在那个电影院里面很火爆。 是的。So, the director of the fourth one, who is also the co-director of the trilogy, will only serve as an executive producer on the fifth one. 所以前三部的co-direction 联合导演是第四部的独立导演。 是的。 然后在第五部的时候，他将会担任那个执行制片人。所以，I’m so sory，是不是这个原因，所以第四部的评分才那么低呀？ Probably. I'm not sure. So, what do you think?

【转录6/10】 Well, I have been really into Daredevil series, so I'm starting to look forward to the fifth one because of the new director. Me too. Well, do you want to hear a little secret of me? Tell me immediately. I love secrets. Both of us love secrets. I think everyone loves secrets. That's why our slogan is, let's talk about gossip. Yes, definitely. My ultimate recommendation from Matrix Universe is not the trilogy. Seriously? Yes, it's actually a hidden gem called the "Animatrix". It's an animation. 它是一部动画片？ 是的，黑客帝国的动画版。 Oh, wow. It's not widely known, but it's a collection of short clips that dive deep into captivating stories and lore that you won't get from the main movies. It's like uncovering a hidden treasure trove of secrets just waiting to be explored. 里面有几个比较好的词哦，像ultimate recommendation，强烈推荐。Captivating， 非常吸引人的 是的，其实我个人是非常强烈推荐的是动画版黑客帝国，因为它讲了很多黑客帝国电影系列的世界观还有故事情节，有一些隐藏的秘密你可以在里面发现，包括一些主角的起源和成长经历，我觉得很有趣，很让你打开思维。 就是非常的 mind-blowing？ Yes, and mind-bending. So, Wing, let's watch it together. That sounds like a date. A girl's date? Yeah. So, Wing, you know, I really want to hear something interesting. I want to know what kind of reviews on the internet. I wonder too. Let's hear some. Tell me, tell me. So, this guy, I think it's a guy, called Just. Just? Yes, Just. He or she said, legitimately, I forgot the last one existed. Seriously? 就太烂了，我就直接忘记它。 就没有记忆点对吧？ 黑客帝国从来没有第四部。 The triology is perfect. Yep. The second one, Kinsport, said, there is so much lore and stories to tell in the Matrix universe. The only thing that matters is quality writing and story. well..说得非常婉转呀。But it reminds me of a comment in the Three Body Problem. The most painful thing is that the smart story is written by the dumb people. Exactly. 就是他说得非常婉转，就是其实一个很好的故事，但是要看写的人是怎么样的。 对呀，就是我们第一集里面提到的 smart and dumb. Anything else? Yes. The last one is, I don't know how to pronounce his name, or her name, Sogolo... Sogolo... Okay, never mind.

【转录7/10】 Sogolo Barras? Something like that? I wish the new director would describe the whole Matrix Resurrection movie as a model simulation glitch within Matrix. Oh my gosh. 所以就是他希望这个新的导演会将第四部形容成为矩阵里面的数据故障之类的。 Wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop, stop. I'm mind-blowing and mind-bending right now. 我 CPU要干焼了。 对呀，所以你可以看出来大家跟我的观点差不多，其实就是第四部真的，我们把它忘记就好。 Let's forget about the number four. Okay, yeah. So Wing, we just talked about a lot of things about the movies. Any speaking tips that we can use to describe a film in the speaking test? Yes. Actually, also, in IELTS Part 2, there are two topics about movies. Describe a movie that you've recently seen. You should say what the movie was, when and where you saw it, what the movie was about, and explain how you felt about this movie. And the number two is describe your favorite movie. It's very similar. Okay, so Wing, at the beginning, we talked about your favorite movie, "Let the Bullets Fly". But you didn't have a chance to talk about it. Do you want to talk about it now? Sure. I'm going to use that movie as an example, using all the phrases and new words that we've just learned. Cool. Okay, here it comes. Here it comes. Well, one of my all-time favorite movies is Let the Bullets Fly. It falls into the movie genre of action, comedy, and western. 所以我们刚才有提到那个 movie genre，就是那个电影流派。这一部《让子弹飞》，它是属于喜剧动作片，或者是也可以把它归类到西部片。 Which is quite unique and captivating. 它非常的独特，还有非常有吸引力。 What makes this movie truly jaw-dropping is its mix of thrilling action sequences and clever humor. Okay，刚才有一个非常好的词，叫jaw-dropping，就是我们刚才讲过的，叫目瞪口呆。 There's one iconic scene where Pocky Chang, 张麻子， played by Jiang Wen, engages in an intense confrontation with a corrupt office show, while disguised as the governor. Okav， 这里有一个非常好的词，叫 iconic scene，经典片段。 对的。The tension in that scene almost builds off the screen, and it really sets the bar high for the genre. Okay，刚才有提到sets the bar high for the genre，是说为这个流派设立一个非常高的标杆。

【转录8/10】 It is a captivating movie that seamlessly blends action, comedy, and thought-provoking themes. Wow, captivating，又出现了一遍了！它是表示非常有吸引力的。而且还有一个我们上一次那个三体有提到的另外一个词，thought-provoking，令人深省的，发人深省的。 It's a film that stays with you long after the credits roll, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining and enlightening cinematic experience. 好，那这里的话还有一个 enlightening，是让人受启发，受启蒙的。 And in IELTS Part 1 and Part 3, there are few questions, we can use all those words as well. Do you like to watch movies? Yes. That's it? You won't get high scores if you just answer yes. Yes, exactly. So when the examiner asks you this question, you have to explain, right? So Wing, can you ask me one more time? Sure. Do you like to watch movies? Yes, I love to watch movies because the movies are so captivating and thought-provoking, just like "Titanic". It makes me rethink what love is, and what romance is. That's a very good way to answer these questions, because usually when you mention the word thought-provoking, I think most people would think about science, sci-fi, etc. But here, you use thought-provoking to describe a romance movie. So that's a very good way to use this word. Exactly, we would just want to impress our examiners, right? Yes, our target is to score high. The second question is do you prefer foreign movies or local movies? Well, this is so hard for me to decide. What about you?

【转录9/10】 Well, for me, generally speaking, I just love movies. Local movies give me a new perspective of my life, my surroundings, everything that I know. But foreign movies basically open a gate for me to learn about other cultures and languages and the sceneries. So I can't decide which one I prefer. I just love them all as long as the writer is not dumb. I don't like dumb movies. It's not about foreign or local. I just don't like dumb movies. Well said. So, any other questions? Yes. The last example would be which genre of movies do you try to avoid? Of course, I will avoid the horror genre. Just like me. I remember when I was a kid, I watched "The Ring" 《午夜凶铃》. When 贞子 came out from the TV, I jumped off the sofa immediately. I was so scared. So, you know, for a long time, I hadn't watched any TV. My mom said, wow, Yao, you are such a good girl now. You don't watch TV and just focus on your homework or something. And actually, she didn't know that I was so afraid to watch TV alone. Just afraid that maybe the ghost or the 贞子 would come out from the TV again. Same as me. So, this is our speaking tips for today. Thank you for listening.
