🌺Disney’s Bet on Mulan and the Economics of Streaming
《花木蘭》直接登上Disney+,這部要價近900元的電影能幫迪士尼賺錢嗎?
🏹In the latest pandemic-inspired Hollywood shake-up, Walt Disney Co. on Tuesday said it would offer its live-action remake of “Mulan” for sale Sept. 4 exclusively on its new streaming service, Disney+, at about $30 a pop, instead of in theaters as planned.
華特迪士尼公司4日表示,將於9月4日在其新的串流媒體服務Disney+獨家上線真人翻拍版電影《花木蘭》(Mulan),收費約30美元(約台幣880元),而不是按原計劃在電影院上映。這是新冠疫情引發的最新一項好萊塢變革。
-inspire: 刺激、引發
-remake: 翻拍
-a pop: 一張、一個,意思同 a piece
✍常見用法:tickets at $10 a pop 一張票10美元
🦜Other studios have moved movie premieres online in recent months—winning few friends among theater operators. But none has done so in this particular way, as a premium-priced add-on for streaming customers already paying a monthly fee for otherwise all-you-can-eat entertainment.
近幾個月來,其他電影公司也紛紛將影片首映搬到了網上,這種做法招致影廳營運商不滿。但迪士尼把這部電影作為附加服務提供給串流媒體用戶,且定價不低,這些用戶已經為套餐型娛樂服務支付每月訂閱費,到目前為止,還沒有一家電影公司採用過如此特別的方式在網路首映。
-翻譯技巧:“winning few friends among theater operators”
原句直譯為「在影廳營運商中贏得很少朋友」,太過直覺且不符合中文語境。此時我們可以換另一個角度思考原文想傳達什麼意思,將「贏得很少朋友」轉化為「招致不滿」,兼顧英文原意且更符合中文邏輯。
-premium-priced: 高訂價
✍常見用法:add/pay a premium 支付溢價、加價
🏮For now, though, it’s unclear whether Disney’s move was a one-time response to extenuating circumstances created by a global public-health crisis, as Chief Executive Bob Chapek suggested Tuesday on a conference call with Wall Street analysts, or a sign of things to come.
不過,目前尚不清楚迪士尼此舉是對全球公共衛生危機造成的特殊環境所做的一次性反應,還是未來模式的一個訊號。迪士尼首席執行長Bob Chapek 於4日在與華爾街分析師的電話會議上暗示是前者。
-one-time response: 一時反應
-extenuate: 減輕、緩和
-conference call, con-call: 電話會議
🥇Debuting a $200 million movie on a proprietary, premium video-on-demand service is without precedent, so there’s no clear way to estimate how online sales of Disney’s “Mulan” would stack up against a hypothetical run in theaters.
在專用的優質影片點播服務首映一部製作成本2億美元的電影是史無前例的,因此沒有明確方法來估算,若與假設的影院放映情況相比,《花木蘭》線上銷售情況會如何。
-proprietary: 專用的、專有的
-without precedent: 前無來者、史無前例,同 unprecedented
-stack up:累積、疊高,此處指「推動銷售量」
未完待續⋯⋯⋯
Disney+的用戶願意加價900台幣看電影嗎?

#C式練英文法
昨天在Netflix上看「Marriage Story(婚姻故事)」這部電影,
誰看過?舉手舉手!
我相信每個人一定都有自己鍾愛的一段,
我自己最愛的是開頭,
兩人各自寫了一段喜歡對方的部分,
(目的是什麼我不能說,因為會小爆雷…)
因為太喜歡這段了,所以看完之後決定用這段當作今天練英文的素材。
看起來好長一段,但相信我,當下在聽打的時候真的一點都不感覺無聊冗長,只覺得怎麼這麼簡單的文字、簡短的話,但卻這麼深刻,真的太扣人心弦了!
我自己練習的步驟:
關掉字幕一句一句聽打出內容 ->對照英文看有沒有錯,順便用自己的話理解 -> 對照中文,加深裡面出現的idioms / slang 的印象 -> 抄寫其中很愛的幾句在英文筆記本裡(因為聽打的階段我是用電腦打字)
常常在聽打的時候,就會很驚訝發現,
天啊!這句話我以為很難講耶,沒想到竟然用這麼簡單的字就可以表達這麼好!
這種「WOW~太神奇了吧!」就成為每次我在練習時的樂趣,呵呵~
例如
She always knows the right thing to do when it comes to difficult family shit.
difficult family shit – 翻譯是翻「嚴重的家庭危機」,但我更喜歡自己的詮釋「跟家庭/家人有關的鳥事」
很多人看到「家庭危機」一定直白想到什麼crisis / issue 甚至 problem之類的,是也可以啦,但family shit就更口語表達這種”shitty things”,滿可愛的耶!
She’s always inexplicably brewing a cup of tea that she doesn’t drink.
Inexplicable / inexplicably – 中文解釋是「無法解釋、令人費解的(地)」,之前一直覺得這個字好像都用在比較文鄒鄒的地方,沒想到在這裡可以當做「她總能神奇地泡好一杯茶,雖然她自己不喝」,有點這種「我真的搞不懂她欸」的感覺。
I get stuck in my ways, and she knows when to push me and when to leave me alone.
Get stuck in my ways – 翻譯雖然是翻「裹足不前」,但平常我們講話真的很少用這個成語呀!所以我自己詮釋是「我自己卡關、猶豫不決很想逃避的時候」
Leave me alone – 字面上解釋是「不要管我讓我一個人獨處或是你走開啦」,但語氣比較平和地講的時候也可以表達「可以讓我靜一靜嗎?/ 給我一點時間冷靜好不好?」
She always says when she doesn’t know something, or hasn’t read a book, or seen a film or a play, whereas I fake it and say something like “I haven’t seen it for a while”.
(她不知道的事情或是還沒看過的書、電影或戲劇,她就會老實說沒看過,不像我會裝懂的說「我很久沒看了」。)
這句我自己講的話一定會分很多句才能表達清楚…自己也做筆記學起來
分享我很喜歡的這段原文吧!
(這段是Charlie 講 Nicole 的部分,若對於 Nicole 講 Charlie 的部分也有興趣的話,
留言跟我說喔!)
What I love about Nicole…
she makes people feel comfortable about even in front of embarrassing things. She really listens when someone is talking. Sometimes she listens too much for too long.
She’s a good citizen.
She always knows the right thing to do when it comes to difficult family shit. I get stuck in my ways, and she knows when to push me and when to leave me alone.
She cuts all our hair.
She’s always inexplicably brewing a cup of tea that she doesn’t drink. And it’s not easy for her to put away a sock, or close a cabinet, or do a dish, but she tries for me.
Nicole grew up in LA around actors, and directors, and movies and TV, and is very close to her mother, Sandra and Cassie, her sister.
Nicole gives great presents.
She is a mother who plays, really plays. She never steps off playing or says it’s too much. And it must be too much some of the time.
She’s competitive.
She’s amazing at opening jars because of her strong arms, which I’ve always found very sexy.
She keeps the fridge over-full. No one is ever hungry in our house.
She can drive a stick.
After that movie, All Over The Girl”, she could’ve stayed in LA and been a movie star, but she gave that up and do theater with me in New York.
She’s brave.
She’s a great dancer, infectious. She makes me wish I could dance.
She always says when she doesn’t know something, or hasn’t read a book, or seen a film or a play, whereas I fake it and say something like “I haven’t seen it for a while”.
My crazy ideas are her favorite things to figure out how to execute.
She’s my favorite actress.
