影片对白

Colin: New Year's Eve was another story. We spent it on a plane. We had to go to Los Angeles for Yao's firstcommercial shoot. The rest of the team was off doing some serious partying but we settled for a bottle of champagne.

Yao: I'm watching everyone celebrate down there.

Colin: A 1996 bottle of Cristal here donated by the gracious Kelvin Cato. He gave all the... his Houston Rockets teammates a bottle and we thought we'd celebrate the new year by popping open a nice, expensive bottle of champagne. Oh, here it goes. Whoo! OK, guys, everybody, Happy New Year. Happy New Year.

Steve Francis: Everybody’s, everyboy tried to set him up with dates. The most we could get him to do was like, go to Cheesecake Factory with us. A lot of girls in Houston, they were begging to get Yao just to come to the mall or something like that. So, you never know.

Colin: It's not that Yao didn't like to have fun. It's more that he only had so much time for all the new experiences and that he figured hanging out at the mall could wait.

Man1: Settle.

Woman: Colin, I'm sorry, I just need you to stay with Yao so that…

Colin: Absolutely.

Woman: OK.

Man1: Settle. Roll, please! Roll sound!

Man2: Take one. Marker.

Man1: And action.

Verne Troyer: Huge head you have!

Colin: What'd he say? That's a cut.

Verne Troyer: I'm just jittery.

Man3: ln China, there really isn't yet an established celebrity culture. Up until Deng threw open the economy the only real celebrity they ever had was Mao. And it's just not something that people get a charge out of being. Modesty is, is a virtue that is enshrined in China.

Man1: Here we go! This one's for picture.

Photographer: Kind of just a little bit of whimsical. He's curious, like, ''Oh,'' like, ''You have one, too?'' That’s…

Photographer: That's it. Yeah, now.

Lee Clow: I think he's really charming and working real hard at and at the same time he seems very comfortable and very natural. And I think everyone now really enjoys knowing the humanity of the players in the game. I think he can be amazing.

Man5: So how was your first commercial?

Charles Barkey: You're hawking products, that's what you're doing. There's really no serious way to hawk products. And every commercial I've seen Yao, he has the ability to make fun of himself.

妙语佳句,活学活用

1. commercial shoot

Shoot 有“拍摄”的意思,既可以作名词也可以作动词。Commercial shoot 就是“拍摄商业广告”。例如:The new movie was shot in Africa. 这部新的影片是在非洲拍摄的。

2. Kelvin Cato

美国篮球运动员(中锋), 代表波特兰开拓者队和休斯敦火箭队参加217场NBA比赛,平均每场得分5.4,篮板4.3,盖帽1.41,投篮命中率0.546,在火箭队历史上列第三位。现在是纽约尼克斯队的球员。

3. pop open

这里的意思是“打开”,pop 听起来像不像什么东西裂开的声音呢,它就是个拟声词。

4. set him up with dates

这里的意思是“安排他约会”。
