BREDA: If l could just find out a bit more about you...
布莱达：如果我能再多了解一些关于你的信息……
DAN: OK.
丹：好的。
BREDA: So, you said you wanted to compete-have you ever won any photography competitions?
布莱达：那么你说你想要参加比赛，你之前赢过什么摄影比赛吗？
DAN: Not yet, but I have entered three in the past.
丹：还没有，但我参加过三次。
BREDA: Oh, that's interesting. So why don't you tell me something about those? Let's start with the first one.
布莱达：哦，那很有意思。那你能告诉我一些关于这些比赛的事情吗？我们从第一个比赛开始说起。
DAN: Well, the theme was entitled 'Domestic Life'.
丹：嗯，第一个比赛的主题是‘家庭生活’。
BREDA: I see-so it had to be something related to the home?
布莱达：我明白了，所以必须是与家有关的东西？
DAN: Yeah. I chose to take a photo of a family siting round the dinner table having a meal, and, um, I didn't win, but I did get some feedback.
丹：是的。我选择拍摄了一家人围坐在餐桌旁吃饭的照片，嗯，我没有赢，但我得到了一些反馈。
BREDA: Oh, what did the judges say?
布莱达：哦，评委们怎么说？
DAN: That it was too 'busy' as a picture.
丹：他们说照片太‘杂乱’了。
BREDA: Aha-so it was the composition of the picture that they criticised?
布莱达：啊哈，所以他们批评的是照片的构图？
DAN: That's right-and once they'd told me that, I could see my mistake.
丹：没错，他们一告诉我，我就看出了自己的错误。
BREDA: So what was the theme of the second competition?
布莱达：那第二个比赛的主题是什么？
DAN: Well, my university was on the coast and that area gets a lot of beautiful sunsets, so that was the theme.
丹：嗯，我的大学在海边，那里常常可以看到美丽的日落，所以主题就是日落。
BREDA: Oh, sunsets, that's a great theme.
布莱达：哦，日落，那是个很棒的主题。
DAN: Yes. The instructions were to capture the clouds as well-it couldn't just be blue sky and a setting sun.
丹：是的。比赛要求是还要捕捉到云彩，不能只有蓝天和落日。
BREDA: Sure, cause they give you all those amazing pinks and purples.
布莱达：当然，因为云彩会呈现给你所有令人惊叹的粉色和紫色。
DAN: Yeah-and I thought I'd done that well, but the feedback was that I should have waited a bit longer to get the shot.
丹：是的，我原以为我拍得很好，但评委的反馈是我应该再等久一点再拍摄。
BREDA: l see. So the timing wasn't right.
布莱达：我明白了。所以是时机不对。
DAN: Yes. I took it too soon, basically. And then the third competition I entered was called 'Animal Magic'.
丹：是的，总的来说，我拍得太早了。然后我参加的第三个比赛叫做‘动物魔法’。
BREDA: Well, that's a difficult subject!
布莱达：哇，那是个难题！
DAN: I know! I had to take hundreds of shots.
丹：我知道！我不得不拍摄几百张照片。
BREDA: I'm sure -because animals move all the time.
布莱达：我相信，因为动物一直会动。
DAN: That's what we had to show-there had to be some movement in the scene.
丹：那就是我们要展示的——场景中必须有一些动作。
I got a great shot of a fox in the end, but I took it at night and, well, I suspected that it was a bit dark, which is what I was told.
最后我拍到了一只狐狸的绝妙镜头，但我是在晚上拍的，嗯，我当时就怀疑照片有点暗，这也是我收到的反馈。
BREDA: Well, Dan-you seem to be really keen and we'd be delighted to have you in our club.
布莱达：嗯，丹，你看起来真的很有热情，我们很高兴你能加入我们的俱乐部。
I'm sure we can help with all those areas that you've outlined.
我相信我们可以帮助你改进你大致谈到的这些方面。
DAN: Thanks, that's great.
丹：谢谢，那太好了。
