看漫畫學口語第5期:一份沒有專欄的報紙(圖)
【Transcript】
Man: Okay, guys. It seems like with oil, food and all the other world’s commodities, newspaper ink is now in short supply.
Rat: So?
Man: So that means cutbacks. Like today, no panel lines.
Pig: That is not so bad. Can we do anything else?
Rat: Next time keep your fat mouth shut.
Pig: Look! My ideal body weight!
【簡介】
漫畫是一種藝術形式,是用簡單而誇張的手法來描繪生活或時事的圖畫。一般運用變形、比擬、象徵、暗示、影射的方法,構成幽默詼諧的畫面或畫面組,以取得諷刺或歌頌的效果。是一種具有強烈的諷刺性或幽默感的繪畫。常採用誇張、比喻、象徵等手法,諷刺、批評或歌頌某些人和事,具有較強的社會性。也有純爲娛樂的作品,娛樂性質的作品往往存在搞笑型和人物創造(設計一個作者所虛擬的世界與規則)兩種。
一份沒有專欄的報紙
Man:好了,同志們。好像報紙墨和油價,食品及其他的產品一樣開始短缺了。
Rat:然後呢?
Man:這就意味着有些東西得刪了,就比如說今天,沒有小組專欄了。
Pig:沒什麼大不了的。我們可以做寫什麼嗎?
Rat:下次把你的肥嘴給封好。
Pig:看,我完美的身軀。
