从门外汉到歌剧通 饭后才观看歌剧!

How to become an opera expert Eat first,watch opera later!

小琼:首先祝大家新年快乐!一提到新年,我就想到团圆饭上的一道道佳肴。这又让我想起多年前看过的一场电影。当时我整个中午都很忙,没来得及吃午饭,所以下午看电影的时候胃就不停地咕咕叫,非常痛苦。小薇:那是什么电影呢?小琼:你知道李安1994年执导的《饮食男女》吗?那是一部略带悲情的喜剧片,讲的是一位大厨父亲,对他来说烹饪就是生活的意义和目标。可每到重要的家庭聚餐时,三个女儿总会有一个人做出令一家惊讶的事。影片精心摄制了这些美味菜肴的每一个制作步骤,看得我口水直流,肚子直叫。甚至连蒸、炒、煮、炸等烹饪手法的声效都捕捉得恰到好处。从此我跟自己说好:再也不饿着肚子看美食片了。而最近,费城歌剧院的一部网上歌剧又让我回忆起那段经历。

Joan:First of all,Happy New Year!Whenever I think of New Year,I think of the fine array of foods at family dinners.And that reminds me of a film I saw years ago.I was in such a rush one afternoon that I ran to the cinema having missed lunch,so my stomach kept growling and growling during the screening.It was quite painful.
