So I've always been a big fan of the X-Men movies, and in particular Wolverine is my favourite character.

我一直是《X 戰警》電影的忠實粉絲，尤其是金剛狼是我最喜歡的角色。

So when I heard there was a new movie coming out with him in it and some other guy named Deadpool, I thought I should make an English lesson for you.

所以，當我聽說有一部新電影要上映，裡面有他和另一個叫死侍的傢伙時，我想我應該給你們上一堂英語課。

I can't show you the actual movie, but along the way I can help you learn some English words and phrases that you can use as you talk about the movies.

我不能給你看真正的電影，但我可以幫助你學習一些英語單詞和短語，你可以在談論電影時使用它們。

So let's talk about the difference between to see a movie and to watch a movie.

是以，讓我們來談談 "看電影 "和 "看電影 "之間的區別。

If I say that I'm going to go see a movie, it means I'm probably going to come to a theatre like this to see that movie.

如果我說我要去看一部電影，那就意味著我可能會去這樣的影院看這部電影。

If I say I'm going to watch a movie, it usually means I'm going to stay home and maybe watch the movie on Netflix.

如果我說我要去看電影，通常意味著我要待在家裡，也許會在 Netflix 上看電影。

So I'm here today to see a movie.

我今天是來看電影的。

I'm at a theatre to see a movie.

我在劇院看電影。

So there are a few ways to buy a ticket to see a movie.

是以，買票看電影有幾種方式。

By the way, you do need a ticket.

順便說一下，你確實需要一張票。

You can use a ticket machine.

您可以使用自動售票機。

A ticket machine is a machine that you can use to buy a ticket to see the movie.

售票機是一種可以用來購買電影票的機器。

You put your card in and you choose the movie you want, and then you get a ticket to see that movie.

你把卡放進去，選擇你想看的電影，然後就能得到一張電影票。

You could also go to the box office.

您也可以去售票處。

There's a box office right here.

這裡有個售票處

Not many people use the box office anymore to buy tickets.

現在已經沒有多少人去售票處買票了。

I don't even think there's a person there, but that is where you could go to buy a movie ticket from a person.

我甚至不認為那裡有一個人，但你可以去那裡從一個人那裡買一張電影票。

Or you can actually go to the concession stand.

或者，你也可以去特許攤位。

I'll talk more about that later.

我稍後再談。

You can also buy a ticket there.

您也可以在那裡買票。

But the most popular way to buy a ticket right now is to buy your ticket online.

不過，目前最流行的購票方式還是在線購票。

I bought my ticket online.

我在網上買了票。

It's on my phone and I will use that ticket.

它在我的手機上，我會用那張票。

I guess it's an e-ticket to get in to the theatre.

我猜這是一張進入劇院的電子門票。

So behind me you can see what's called the concession stand.

在我身後，你可以看到所謂的特許攤位。

Sometimes we call it a snack bar, but I usually call it a concession stand or just the concessions.

有時我們稱它為小吃店，但我通常稱它為特許攤位，或者只是特許經營。

It's the place where you can go to buy a snack.

在這裡，你可以買到零食。

Now the most common snack to buy when going to see a movie here in Canada is usually popcorn and maybe some kind of soda or what I call pop.

在加拿大，看電影時最常買的零食通常是爆米花和蘇打水，也就是我所說的 "汽水"。

But that's not what I'm going to buy.

但這不是我要買的。

I actually don't really like popcorn and I really don't drink soda or pop, but this is where you would go to get a snack.

其實我不太喜歡爆米花，也不喝汽水或汽水，但這裡是你買零食的地方。

I am going to go get one.

我要去買一個。

You'll see what it is in a minute.

一會兒你就知道是什麼了。

Hi.

你好。

Hi.

你好。

Uh, yeah, just the peanut M&M's and the water.

嗯，是的，只有花生巧克力糖和水。

How precious.

多麼珍貴

Anything else I can get for you?

還需要什麼嗎？

Uh, no, that's everything.

呃，不，這就是一切。

Are you a Loyalty's member?

您是 Loyalty's 會員嗎？

Pardon?

什麼？

Are you a Loyalty's member?

您是 Loyalty's 會員嗎？

No, I'm not.

不，我沒有。

Uh, just debit please.

呃，請借一下。

Okay, here you go.

好了，給你。

Thank you.

謝謝。

Have a great day.

祝你愉快

This is what I wanted and this is what I got.

這就是我想要的，這就是我得到的。

So there are a few different types of movies and genres.

是以，有幾種不同類型的電影。

This movie that I'm going to see could be considered an action movie, maybe a little bit of science fiction.

我要去看的這部電影可以說是一部動作片，也許還有點科幻色彩。

An action movie is a movie where there's lots of guns and car chases.

動作片就是有大量槍支和汽車追逐的電影。

A science fiction movie takes place in the future and there will be spaceships and people might visit other planets.

科幻電影的故事發生在未來，未來會有宇宙飛船，人們可能會訪問其他星球。

There's also fantasy movies where you'll see swords and dragons and things like that.

還有一些奇幻電影，你會看到劍和龍之類的東西。

You might watch a horror movie, not my favourite, a movie that is designed to scare you.

你可能會看一部恐怖電影，這不是我的最愛，而是一部旨在嚇唬你的電影。

Or you might see a movie that is a comedy, or if it has romance involved, it might be a romantic comedy.

或者，你可能會看到一部喜劇電影，或者，如果其中涉及到愛情，它可能是一部愛情喜劇。

And then lastly, there is a type of movie called a drama, a more serious movie, sometimes based on a historical event.

最後，還有一種電影叫做劇情片，是一種比較嚴肅的電影，有時以歷史事件為題材。

There are many other movie genres, but those are just the main ones that I can think of right now.

還有很多其他類型的電影，但這些只是我現在能想到的主要類型。

So I actually printed my ticket today instead of having it on my phone.

所以，我今天真的打印了我的機票，而不是在手機上。

Like I said, I'm using my phone to record, but as I approach, they'll need my ticket here.

就像我說的，我在用手機錄音，但當我走近時，他們需要我的票。

So I'll need to show my ticket.

所以我需要出示我的機票。

I will need to scan my ticket.

我需要掃描我的機票。

Hopefully it scans.

希望能掃描出來。

Screen 6 just down this hall to your right.

6 號螢幕就在大廳右側。

Which theatre?

哪個劇院？

Yeah, in 6. 6, thank you very much.

是啊，在6。6號房 非常感謝

So I am going to go to screen 6 or theatre 6, so that's where I'm headed right now.

所以我要去 6 號螢幕或 6 號影院，這就是我現在要去的地方。

My ticket scanned successfully.

我的機票掃描成功。

By the way, a long time ago, you used to actually give them a paper ticket and they would rip your ticket or tear your ticket.

順便說一句，很久以前，你給他們一張紙票，他們就會撕票或撕毀你的票。

I still remember that time long ago, but now everything's digital.

我還記得很久以前的那個時代，但現在一切都數字化了。

It's either a barcode or a QR code.

要麼是條碼，要麼是 QR 碼。

On my ticket there was a QR code, and that's what they scanned in order to allow me into the theatre.

我的票上有一個二維碼，他們就是通過掃描二維碼讓我進入劇院的。

So there are a couple of ways that they advertise movies.

是以，他們有幾種宣傳電影的方式。

One is that they create movie posters.

一是他們製作電影海報。

A movie poster, oh that looks scary.

電影海報，哦，看起來真嚇人。

A movie poster is simply a poster, a big colourful piece of paper that goes on the wall, and that poster advertises upcoming movies.

電影海報就是一張海報，一張掛在牆上的彩色大紙，用來宣傳即將上映的電影。

So before a movie starts they'll show what are called previews or trailers.

是以，在電影開始之前，他們會播放所謂的預告片或預告片。

They haven't quite started in this theatre yet, but pretty soon they will show previews or trailers.

這家影院還沒開始放映，但很快就會放映預告片或預告片。

They're the same thing by the way.

順便說一下，它們是一回事。

This is when they show you little clips of a movie that's coming out in the future in hopes that you will decide to go see it.

這是指他們向你展示未來即將上映的電影的小片段，希望你決定去看。

Right now they're just running some advertisements, but pretty soon they'll start showing the previews and the trailers.

現在他們只是播放一些廣告，但很快就會開始播放預告片和預告片。

So if you're wondering what to call people at a theatre, the people who work there, the person who took my ticket I would call a ticket taker.

所以，如果你想知道如何稱呼劇院裡的人，在那裡工作的人，幫我取票的人，我會稱之為售票員。

The people who come in and out of the theatre to make sure everyone's sitting in the right spot I would call those ushers or attendants.

進出劇院確保每個人都坐對位置的人，我稱之為引座員或服務員。

So someone who takes your ticket is a ticket taker.

是以，為你取票的人就是取票人。

Someone who can help you in the theatre find your seat or make sure you're in the right seat is called an attendant or an usher.

在劇院裡，能幫你找到座位或確保你坐在正確座位上的人被稱為服務員或引導員。

So I'm walking into theatre 6 or screen 6 and as you can see no one is here.

我走進 6 號影院或 6 號螢幕，你可以看到這裡一個人都沒有。

I'm at a morning showing.

我在看上午的演出。

I chose a showing.

我選擇了一場演出。

A showing by the way is the time the movie is actually playing.

順便說一下，放映是指電影實際播放的時間。

It's 1045 in the morning and no one's here.

現在是早上 10 點 45 分，這裡沒人。

What's nice though is this theatre has reserved seating.

不過好在這家劇院有保留座位。

That means I actually paid for an actual seat in the back row, seat number 8.

這意味著，我花了錢買了後排 8 號座位。

That's different than how it used to be.

這與過去不同。

A long time ago if you went to a movie theatre you just tried to get there early to get a good seat.

很久以前，如果你去電影院看電影，你只需儘量早點去，就能找到一個好座位。

But now you can actually choose the seat that you want.

但現在，您可以真正選擇自己想要的座位。

Oh and by the way, here's the screen.

對了，這是螢幕。

And when you look at the seats you might notice that these are recliners.

當你看到座椅時，你可能會注意到這是躺椅。

You can actually recline in these seats.

在這些座椅上，你還可以躺下。

You can lean back as you watch the movie.

您可以邊看電影邊向後靠。

So you can relax, enjoy the show in comfort in a reclining seat.

是以，您可以放鬆身心，坐在舒適的靠椅上欣賞演出。

Oh and one more thing.

哦，還有一件事。

Up there where you see those two windows, that is the projection booth.

上面那兩扇窗戶就是放映室。

That's where you would find the projector.

投影儀就在那裡。

The projection booth is the little room where the projectionist, that's the person who runs the projector, will actually sit and that's where they will show the movie from.

放映室是一個小房間，放映員，也就是操作放映機的人，就坐在這個小房間裡放映電影。

And the projector is the machine that shows the movie.

而放映機就是放映電影的機器。

So up there, the projection booth, let me point to it, and inside will be a projector and a projectionist.

我指指上面的放映室，裡面有一臺放映機和一名放映員。

So I decided to see the movie in 2D, not in 3D.

是以，我決定去看 2D 電影，而不是 3D 電影。

I'm not actually a big fan of 3D.

事實上，我並不是 3D 的忠實粉絲。

I don't like wearing 3D glasses.

我不喜歡戴 3D 眼鏡。

Those are the special glasses you have to wear.

這是你必須佩戴的特殊眼鏡。

By the way, 2D is just kind of a flat image.

順便說一句，二維影像只是一種平面影像。

But 3D is when it looks like things are coming off the screen towards you.

而 3D 則是指螢幕上的東西看起來就像從螢幕上向你飛過來一樣。

Usually I see movies in 2D because when I see movies in 3D they kind of give me a headache.

我通常看 2D 電影，因為看 3D 電影會讓我頭疼。

So anyways, I am seeing a movie in 2D.

總之，我正在看一部 2D 電影。

So the place I'm at actually has three different names, in Canadian English at least.

是以，我所在的地方實際上有三個不同的名字，至少在加拿大英語中是這樣。

We sometimes call it a cinema.

我們有時稱之為電影院。

In fact, behind me you can see that it says Landmark Cinemas.

事實上，你可以看到我身後寫著 Landmark Cinemas。

Or we call it a movie theatre, or we just call it a theatre.

或者我們叫它電影院，或者我們就叫它劇院。

I think the most common one would probably be movie theatre.

我想最常見的可能是電影院。

Where did you go last night?

你昨晚去哪兒了？

Oh, I went to the movie theatre to see a movie.

哦，我去電影院看電影了。

But you can also call it a cinema or just a theatre.

但你也可以稱它為電影院或劇院。

So I'm at the cinema, I'm at the movie theatre, I'm at the theatre.

所以我在電影院，我在電影院，我在劇院。

So I just finished watching the credits for this movie.

我剛看完這部電影的片頭。

Credits are, it's kind of a list of all of the actors that were in the movie.

片頭是電影中所有演員的名單。

It kind of lists all the people who worked on the movie.

它列出了所有參與電影製作的人員名單。

And then it even lists the music that was used in the movie.

然後，它還列出了電影中使用的音樂。

So it was fun to watch the credits.

所以，看片頭很有意思。

And there was a post-credits scene, or an after-credits scene, or an end-credits scene where they show like a little clip from an upcoming movie, or just a little extra little snippet of the actors doing something just for fun.

還有一個片尾場景，或者叫 "片後場景"，或者叫 "片尾場景"，在那裡他們會播放即將上映的電影的一個小片段，或者只是演員們為了好玩而做的一些額外的小片段。

So that's always cool.

所以這總是很酷。

Well thank you so much for watching this English lesson at the movies.

非常感謝大家觀看這堂電影英語課。

Hopefully you were able to learn some new English words and phrases that you can use in your next conversation about the movies.
