As an English teacher, I would explain the word ‘dubbing’ or the abbreviation from at least five aspects:
1. Definition and origin: Dubbing is the process of adding a new soundtrack to a film or video. It originated in the era of silent films when voice actors would record dialogue that was added to the film. Today, dubbing is used to translate foreign films or TV shows into a different language.
2. Types of dubbing: There are two types of dubbing: lip-sync dubbing and voice-over dubbing. Lip-sync dubbing involves matching dialogue to the lip movements of the actors on screen, while voice-over dubbing involves adding a new audio track that does not match the lip movements.
3. Advantages and disadvantages: The advantages of dubbing include foreign films accessible to a wider audience, and allowing viewers to focus on the visuals rather than reading subtitles. However, dubbing can also alter the original performance, and sometimes the translated dialogue does not match the original intent.
4. Examples of dubbing: Some popular examples of dubbing include the English dub of the Japanese anime “Sailor Moon,” the Spanish dub of the American TV show “Friends,” and the French dub of the Japanese film “Spirited Away.”
5. Careers in dubbing: There are several different careers in the dubbing industry, including voice actors, dubbing directors, and script translators.
English examples:
1. I can’t stand watching foreign films with dubbing; it just never looks right.
2. The dubbing on this old movie is so bad, it’s almost comedic.
3. The voice actors in the English dub of “Dragon Ball Z” are amazing.
4. The lip-sync dubbing on this Chinese film is surprisingly good.
5. I prefer subtitles to dubbing because I like listening to the original language.
中文例句：
