Movies and TV programs made in one’s own country are more interesting than those made in other countries.
【译文】是否同意本国的电影和电视比外国的电影电视更加有趣?
【点评】本题提问角度为托福考频最高的对比类提问，写作本题与电影相关的话题皆可融会贯通。
As an avid watcher of movies and TV programs, I like to think that I enjoy a fairly diverse range of cinema and television. From a young age, I’ve been watching movies and shows from a variety of countries (though subtitled) and genres. At the end of the day, though, I still find myself intrigued more by the movies and shows made in my own home country. I think that they have an inherent allure that, while sometimes can be challenged by foreign media, is very difficult to match.
【译文】作为一个电影和电视节目的热心观众，我喜欢各种各样的电影和电视。从很小的时候起，我就一直在看各种各样的国家的电影和节目（尽管有字幕）和流派。然而，终于有一天，我发现自己仍对在国产的电影和节目更感兴趣。尽管有时会受到外国媒体的挑战，我认为他们有一种内在的吸引力，是外国电影难以匹敌的。
【点评】首段表明观点，认为国产电影更有趣，有一种外国电影难以匹敌的内在吸引力。
First and foremost is the issue of cultural background. When you watch a foreign movie or show, it may be gripping for its plot or interesting for its insight into another culture, but there will inevitably be subtle things that go right over your head because you don’t have the same cultural starting point as those who created what you’re watching. With the global community being what it is these days, this is of course less of an issue now, but there will still be small culturally-specific things that will escape your notice. Maybe it’s a pop culture reference, or just something inherent to the country’s language, but without those little details making it to your conscious mind, the viewing experience will be less rich and ultimately less interesting.
【译文】首要的就是文化背景的问题。当你看外国电影或节目时,它可能拥有扣人心弦的情节或感受到对另一种文化理解的趣味,但不可避免地你会感受到一些微妙的东西,因为你和电影的拍摄者没有相同的文化背景。如今，随着全球社会的发展，这当然不是一个问题，但仍会有一些小的文化特定的东西会让你无法注意到。也许这是一个流行文化的参考，或者是这个国家语言固有的东西，但是如果您并没有意识到这些小细节，观看体验就会变得不那么丰富，最终也会变得不那么有趣。
【点评】给出分论点，文化背景导致对外国文化理解没那么透彻，这里给出了反面的论据支撑，看外国电影很容易忽视一些当地文化相关的细节，这就导致错失了很多乐趣。
Language, which I mentioned above, is the second reason why foreign movies and shows cannot be as interesting as those made in one’s own home country. Unless you have a good understanding of the language spoken, you have to settle for reading subtitles while watching the show or movie. This is both distracting mentally and prohibitive in terms of experiencing the subtleties of the actors may impart to their lines. Splitting your attention between reading and watching makes it easy to miss details on the screen, and because you cannot experience the actors’ words directly, a lot of nuance is lost and your mind must do its best to fill in the blanks.
【译文】我在上面提到的语言，是外国电影和节目不能像国产电影那样有趣的第二个原因。除非你能够很好地理解所使用的语言，否则你必须在看演出或看电影的时候阅读字幕。当观众体验演员们的微妙之处时，这样做既让人分心，又让人难以接受。把注意力分散在阅读和观看上，会让你很容易错过屏幕上的细节，而且因为你无法直接体验演员的话语，你会失去很多细微的差别，你的大脑必须尽最大的努力来填补这些空白。
【点评】给出第二个分论点，语言因素导致外国电影不如国产电影有趣，也是从反面给出论据支撑，把注意力分散在阅读和观看上，会让你很容易错过荧幕上的细节。
That’s not to say that foreign productions are not worth watching, or that they’re even measurably “worse” in terms of the viewing experience. The difference is ultimately not so much that it prevents them from being subjectively very enjoyable. But objectively speaking, they are unavoidably less accessible for the reasons mentioned above, and because of that, there is a hard cap on their potential to be interesting. A good foreign film will still beat out a mediocre domestic production any day of the week, but all else being equal, I think a good domestic movie or show will be more captivating than a good foreign equivalent.
这并不是说外国电影不值得观看，或者它们在观看体验方面甚至有明显的“更糟”。最大的不同之处不是让他们在主观上感到非常愉快。但客观地说，由于上述原因，它们不可避免地变得难以接近，正因为如此，它们的潜力才会变得有趣。一部好的外国电影任何情况下都能击败平庸的国产影片，但在其他条件相同的情况下，我认为一部好的国产电影或电视剧比外国影片更吸引人。
【点评】综述自己的观点，某种意义上也是让步段。并不是说外国电影不好，而是由于上文提到的种种原因，导致外国电影始终有种距离感，而在同等条件下，国产电影会更吸引人。
