Movies and TV programs made in one’s own country are more interesting than those made in other countries.

【譯文】是否同意本國的電影和電視比外國的電影電視更加有趣?

【點評】本題提問角度為托福考頻最高的對比類提問，寫作本題與電影相關的話題皆可融會貫通。

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.

【譯文】作為一個電影和電視節目的熱心觀眾，我喜歡各種各樣的電影和電視。從很小的時候起，我就一直在看各種各樣的國家的電影和節目（盡管有字幕）和流派。然而，終于有一天，我發現自己仍對在國產的電影和節目更感興趣。盡管有時會受到外國媒體的挑戰，我認為他們有一種內在的吸引力，是外國電影難以匹敵的。

【點評】首段表明觀點，認為國產電影更有趣，有一種外國電影難以匹敵的內在吸引力。

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.

【譯文】首要的就是文化背景的問題。當你看外國電影或節目時,它可能擁有扣人心弦的情節或感受到對另一種文化理解的趣味,但不可避免地你會感受到一些微妙的東西,因為你和電影的拍攝者沒有相同的文化背景。如今，隨著全球社會的發展，這當然不是一個問題，但仍會有一些小的文化特定的東西會讓你無法注意到。也許這是一個流行文化的參考，或者是這個國家語言固有的東西，但是如果您并沒有意識到這些小細節，觀看體驗就會變得不那么豐富，最終也會變得不那么有趣。

【點評】給出分論點，文化背景導致對外國文化理解沒那么透徹，這里給出了反面的論據支撐，看外國電影很容易忽視一些當地文化相關的細節，這就導致錯失了很多樂趣。

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.

【譯文】我在上面提到的語言，是外國電影和節目不能像國產電影那樣有趣的第二個原因。除非你能夠很好地理解所使用的語言，否則你必須在看演出或看電影的時候閱讀字幕。當觀眾體驗演員們的微妙之處時，這樣做既讓人分心，又讓人難以接受。把注意力分散在閱讀和觀看上，會讓你很容易錯過屏幕上的細節，而且因為你無法直接體驗演員的話語，你會失去很多細微的差別，你的大腦必須盡最大的努力來填補這些空白。

【點評】給出第二個分論點，語言因素導致外國電影不如國產電影有趣，也是從反面給出論據支撐，把注意力分散在閱讀和觀看上，會讓你很容易錯過熒幕上的細節。

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.

【譯文】這并不是說外國電影不值得觀看，或者它們在觀看體驗方面甚至有明顯的“更糟”。最大的不同之處不是讓他們在主觀上感到非常愉快。但客觀地說，由于上述原因，它們不可避免地變得難以接近，正因為如此，它們的潛力才會變得有趣。一部好的外國電影任何情況下都能擊敗平庸的國產影片，但在其他條件相同的情況下，我認為一部好的國產電影或電視劇比外國影片更吸引人。

【點評】綜述自己的觀點，某種意義上也是讓步段。并不是說外國電影不好，而是由于上文提到的種種原因，導致外國電影始終有種距離感，而在同等條件下，國產電影會更吸引人。
