胶片

(jiāopiàn) 

A: Did you change cameras? What did you buy it?

你换相机了？什么时候买的呀？

(nǐ huàn xiānɡjī le? shíme shíhòu mǎi de ya?) 

B: Yup. I bought it less than a month ago, and I'm still learning how to use it.

对。这个才买了不到一个月,还在学习怎么使用。

(duì. zhèɡè cáimǎi le bùdào yīɡèyuè, háizài xuéxí zěnme shǐyònɡ.)

A: It looks really small, but the design isn't bad. I like the color, too.

看来很小,外观不错。颜色我也喜欢。

(kànlái hěnxiǎo, wàiɡuān bùcuò. yánsè wǒyě xǐhuān.)

   

B: Yup. The one I had before was a digital single lens reflect camera. This is a compact film camera.

对。我之前那是个数码单反。这是个小的胶片机。

(duì. wǒ zhīqián nàshì ɡè shùmǎ dānfǎn. zhèshìɡè xiǎo de jiāopiànjī.)  

A: A film camera? So it uses film?

胶片机？所以是用胶卷的？

(jiāopiàn jī? suǒyǐ shì yònɡ jiāojuǎn de?)

B: Obviously. I'm still figuring out the techniques to take to pictures with it. It's different than a digital one. 

对。拍摄技巧我现在也还在摸索。和数码单反还是有一定差别的。

(duì. pāishè jìqiǎo wǒ xiànzài yěhái zài mōsuǒ. hé shùmǎ dānfǎn háishì yǒu yīdìnɡ chābié de.)
