玩过“电影卡拉OK”吗？

K歌似乎已经成为我们生活中最常见的一种娱乐方式，朋友聚会可以K歌，工作压力大需要发泄也可以K歌，聚完餐不想回家还可以刷夜K歌。不过，据说国外曾经流行过电影卡拉OK，你们听说过吗？

Movieoke is a form of entertainment in which a person acts out scenes from a movie while a silent version of the movie plays in the background.
电影卡拉OK是一种娱乐形式，指电影去掉原声后播放，参与的人按照影片情节现场进行表演。

The film is projected onto a screen behind the actor and onto an alternate monitor which provides subtitles and action cues. Movieoke is a popular form of performative and interactive entertainment created by Anastasia Fite in New York City in 2003, and has since spread to other parts of the world.
影片会在参与者身后的屏幕上播放，同时会在另一个显示器上显示台词和表演提示。电影卡拉OK这种兼具表演和互动的娱乐形式是由安娜斯塔西娅·菲特于2003年在纽约首创的，之后传遍全球。

This term combines movie with karaoke, that now classic entertainment form in which amateur crooners sing along to vocal-less versions of popular songs. The word karaoke entered the language around 1979 after being imported from Japan, where it means “empty orchestra.”
电影卡拉OK的英文movieoke是movie和karaoke两词的合成形式，卡拉OK现在已是经典的娱乐方式，业余歌手们跟着无人声演唱版本的流行歌曲伴奏引吭高歌。Karaoke一词于1979年从日语引入英语，原意为“无人伴奏乐队”。
