介绍:
Good evening everyone, this is Ann from the English show presented by Only for The Top One of Beijing New Oriental School. If you have been to cinema recently you must know 'Fast & Furious7' which is the most popular film. So today we are talking about it.
Fast & Furious is a racing film with an all-star cast and some brilliant action sequences. Well actually I think Furious 7 is over-the-top(过分夸张), but this aside, it is an extremely entertaining and fun film to watch. However, The most notable moment in the entire film is the emotional and respectful ending during the send-off of Paul Walker. The film finishing with a montage(蒙太奇) of Walker in the previous six films, finishing with just two words, 'For Paul', this is the first time this film has affected me emotionally.
If you are a Fast & Furious Series buff(爱好者), here are 3 things you may not have known about Paul Walker who was known for his role as Brian O’ Conner in the movie.
如果你是速度与激情的粉丝，这里有3件你可能没听说过的有关电影中布莱恩奥康纳的扮演者保罗沃克的事情。
1. Marine Biology Major
The ocean is so magnificent, peaceful, and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I'm on a wave.
–Paul Walker
Yes，many people don’t know that Marine Biology was actually Paul’s first love and continued to stay with him even through his success as an Actor. He majored in Marine Biology at a California community college and was a huge fan of it. He joined the Board of Directors of the Billfish Foundation in 2006 and went on to do many projects including the National Geographic series “Expedition Great White”(国家地理系列“远征大白鲨”) in 2010.
第一部分关于保罗的专业。保罗曾说过“海洋如此壮丽、平静并且令人敬畏。当我身处波涛之中，其余的世界都消失了。”是的，很多人不知道海洋生物学实际上是保罗的最爱，而且在他获得演艺上得成功后依然是他的第一爱好。他在加州社区学院时主修海洋生物学并且痴迷于此。2006年，他参加了长嘴鱼基金董事会并继续从事许多海洋项目包括2010年的国家地理系列“远征大白鲨”的拍摄。
2. Full-Time Dad
Just recently they came at me with an offer of something going in the summertime, and I wanted to punch them in the face for even coming to me with it. ‘You know what my priorities are right now, why are you even tempting me with this?’ I got home and I was just pissed off (恼火)and my daughter was like ‘What’s the matter?’ And I told her what happened and she mellowed me out (使放松)and she’s so funny.
–Paul Walker
In real life, Meadow Rain Walker, his only child, was born in 1999. While many people knew that he had a daughter not many people knew that he had decided to take on the role of being a full time father. What a pity.
第二部分关于保罗的女儿。保罗曾说“刚才工作时他们给我一份暑期的安排，但我真想因为这份暑期安排而给他们脸上一拳。我说‘你知道现在女儿对我最重要，为什么还要用一份暑期通告来引诱我呢？‘我恼火的回到家，我的女儿一脸无辜的看着我像是在问‘你怎么了’，当我告诉她这件事，她反而来安慰我，她真可爱。”梅朵莱恩沃克是保罗唯一的孩子，出生于1999年。尽管许多人知道他有个女儿，但大部分人不知道他早已决定做一个全职爸爸。多么可惜。
3. Humanitarian
I'm a doer(实干派), and whether it was the tsunami in Sri Lanka(斯里兰卡) or the earthquake in Indonesia, I was always saying, 'I should be there; I should be helping out. '
–Paul Walker
In fact, Paul made sure to give back to the community whenever he had the opportunity. In 2008, he Helped Chilean(智利人) victims after the earthquake as well as victims of the earthquake in Haiti, he was a true humanitarian. Also, in 2010, he helped found the non-profit organization Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW), a disaster relief organization. He was actually hosting a charity event to raise money for the victims of the Philippines(菲律宾) Typhoon on the day that he died.
第三部分关于保罗与人道主义。保罗曾说“我是个实干派，不论是斯里兰卡发生海啸或是印度尼西亚发生地震，我总是觉得我应该在那儿，我应该予以帮助。”事实上，一旦有机会他就回报社会。2008年保罗帮助地震后的智利灾民和海地灾民，他是一个真正的人道主义者。2010年他帮助建立无盈利组织“向世界伸出援手”，这是一个灾难救助组织。事实上保罗遇难的那天，他正在赶往一个为菲律宾地震灾民筹集善款的慈善项目。
Paul will truly be missed. He wasn't just a charming and talented young actor; he was a father, a friend, and a shining beam of light. Just like Dominic said in movie＂The most important thing in life will always be the family right there, right now. That's what's real＂Hope you can Just live your life to the fullest. Laugh a lot, love and find your true happiness.
That’s all for today. Thanks for listening. Good night.
