Unit 4 Stage and screen
1．Cengiz Ozek sits at his desk in the poorly lit(adj.照明不佳的，灯线昏暗的) back office of
his shadow theater near Taksim Square in central Istanbul.
2．To date(到目前为止，迄今)，scholars have not been able to determine where this type of
theater began to exist.
3．In the end，they were sentenced to death(被判处死刑)．
4．People say “a picture is worth a thousand words”，but if you look at books and movies
based on them，you may question this common saying.
①be worth＋n.值得……；值……
be (well) worth doing...(非常)值得被做
Since you are interested in traditional Chinese culture，I think this festival is worth experiencing.
②be worthy
③It is worthwhile doing/to do sth.值得做某事。
5．Movies of course need impressive images(n.画面)，so why has Alice in Wonderland only
resulted in(导致；表示“导致”的短语还有：contribute to，bring about，account for 等)
movies best described as “interesting”？
6．Many people thought she didn’t live up to(达到) Helen’s title of “the most beautiful
woman in the world”，influencing opinions of the movie to some extent(从某种程度上)．
7．With this in mind，perhaps we should judge a movie(评判电影) in its own right，and not
against its original source.
①judge...from/by...从……来判断……
as far as I can judge据我判断；我认为
②judging by/from...从……来看；根据……来判断
8．It was comprised of(由……组成) solitary blossoms of many varieties that shouldn’t really
go together yet somehow did.
9．The more I understood what the flowers were saying，the more I started to remember the
woman who might have earned them before I separated myself from everyone and everything.
(“the ＋比较级……，the ＋比较级……”结构)
10．It is a distinct visual contrast that shouldn’t work(熟词生义：vi.奏效；产生预期的结果)，but/yet somehow these two very different worlds make a good combination.
