Use of English (omitted)Unit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom Text A參考譯文僅僅是娛樂娛樂在制作和接收藝術(shù)和媒體的過程中是一個指導(dǎo)性原則。娛樂是一個理念，在歷史上和文化上都非常具體的一個理念。然而快樂總是被有目的的在人工制造和表演當(dāng)中獲取，娛樂的理念和快樂相區(qū)別首要的就是強(qiáng)調(diào)的重點(diǎn)不同，娛樂在快樂之前，甚至直接代替實用的、神圣的、教育的或者是政治的目的和功能。Unit 8 Entertainme

45、nt and TravelPart II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom 娛樂、演藝和雜耍不僅僅是人們平常所認(rèn)為的術(shù)語。事實上，它們通常是一個對話的結(jié)尾： “不管怎樣，我還是喜歡它。它是不錯的娛樂節(jié)目”，當(dāng)你在文化圈里試圖捍衛(wèi)性的贊揚(yáng)一個不入時的電影時，通常會這樣說到；或者是它被標(biāo)為一個喜劇性的陳詞濫調(diào)，用在故事情節(jié)關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)的后臺音樂中：“那就是演藝業(yè)！” 無需多說了：我們都明白娛樂的概念是什么。確切的說，因為它是一個最終的或者是絕對的概念，所以很難對它下定義。僅僅通過舉例子你并不能理解它。由Dietz 和 Schwartz創(chuàng)作的歌曲 “那就是

46、娛樂”名副其實的，同時也簡明扼要的表明什么是娛樂，而沒有任何明顯的抵觸意味。Unit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom 首先，娛樂不僅僅是一種發(fā)現(xiàn)它在所有的時代和所有的社會里能描述事情的方式。例如，在氏族社會歌曲和舞蹈與特定的宗教和實用目的相聯(lián)系，告慰上帝或者祈雨。在中世紀(jì)的歐洲，露天盛會和娛樂項目是整個社會生活的一部分，被寫進(jìn)了日歷，由教會管理，與季節(jié)性的經(jīng)濟(jì)盛會聯(lián)系在一起。在氏族社會，歌曲和舞蹈尋求對人們的生活產(chǎn)生影響，在中世紀(jì)人們就以一種系統(tǒng)的有組織的方式來慶祝。當(dāng)然，我

47、們的娛樂或許能完成這兩個使命，但它不再是以一個連貫的方式與嚴(yán)肅的形而上學(xué)或者慶祝儀式相聯(lián)系。相反，它不同于在上流社會里娛樂形式的發(fā)展和變化。現(xiàn)代娛樂不僅僅是一種打發(fā)無聊日子的方式，也不僅僅是一種社交活動的輔助方式。Unit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom 娛樂也是休閑的一部分。這是個非?，F(xiàn)代的理念，也是被從否定角度定義的。休閑和娛樂是與工作和家務(wù)瑣事想分離的，也是相對立的。從功能方面來分析， 休閑可以被看成是對單調(diào)乏味的工作的一種補(bǔ)償方式，或者是作為對工業(yè)勞動的一種被動的參與

48、。但事實上，休閑方式的豐富性和多樣性表明，休閑也應(yīng)該被看做是這個整日充滿單調(diào)乏味工作的世界上有意義的一種創(chuàng)造。Unit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom 娛樂是這種休閑的一個具體方面。它被提供也需要付費(fèi)，在這種意義上，它不同于聊天、愛好和游戲。這源于其自身特征：娛樂是一種短期行為，有無組織者均可，流行和低俗均可，樂觀開朗抑或多愁善感均可，總之，是城市工人階層的光顧支撐了城市酒吧和俱樂部里娛樂業(yè)的發(fā)展。當(dāng)然，資產(chǎn)階級娛樂歷來是這樣的形式輕歌劇，音樂喜劇，客廳音樂，但這僅僅是對其形

49、式的美化，并不能主宰它。以這種方式細(xì)細(xì)觀察歷史可以發(fā)現(xiàn)會錯過種種細(xì)微的差別，但它確實有助于我們把握“娛樂”這個當(dāng)代廣義概念的特殊性。Unit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom 如果現(xiàn)在我們?yōu)g覽一下BBC和英國獨(dú)立電視臺（ITV，Independent Television）發(fā)表的一些官方聲明，我們就可以觀察到這一概念體現(xiàn)著這些公司的意圖，不僅僅是實際上它們所想或所說的那樣，而是包含在他們必須對公眾進(jìn)行解釋的一系列內(nèi)容之中。Unit 8 Entertainment and Tra

50、velPart II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom 先來看看湯姆斯?。═om Sloan）在BBC的午餐講座上試圖給輕娛樂下的定義：我們有戲劇，有專題片，有藝術(shù)專題片，有一般專題片，有紀(jì)錄片，有脫口秀，有時事節(jié)目，僅列舉這些。但我相信，很多人想把電視機(jī)當(dāng)做逃避現(xiàn)實的一種工具，時至今日依然如此。我記得在1961年一個陰雨的星期天，我開車去利物浦看一個新組建的樂隊為歌迷舉辦的一場演唱會，這個樂隊叫披頭士，我們轉(zhuǎn)播了這場演唱會。平生我第一次看到英格蘭北部的工業(yè)化場景，成排的有露臺的房屋，面向鋪有鵝卵石的道路，感受著細(xì)膩的小雨，這所有的一切已把人征

51、服。在每家的屋頂，都有一個電視天線，觸角探向可逃離的另一個世界。天哪，為什么不可以這樣？因此，我的工作就是組織一系列節(jié)目使他們感到愉快和放松，換句話說，就是為了娛樂。Unit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom 像往常一樣，我們會以“為了娛樂”來結(jié)束所解釋的這一切，但在此之前，我們也需要注意到藝術(shù)和信息與娛樂的細(xì)微差別，以及在逃離可怕的現(xiàn)實生活方面的差別。同時我們也應(yīng)該注意到為廣大公眾提供娛樂的人所做出的貢獻(xiàn)。如果我們從娛樂提供者的角度來看，我們就會問這樣的問題，你如何讓人們逃離

52、可憎的日常生活呢？是什么可以強(qiáng)大到讓這種逃離持續(xù)一段時間？你如何將一絲光芒帶進(jìn)黑暗？還有，你怎么才能站到他們這一邊，而不是將他們與藝術(shù)或教育隔離？這是對大眾娛樂的負(fù)責(zé)任的一種特殊的反思，必須對我們所做出的審美視角有所影響。Unit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom Text B參考譯文猶他州的品牌：戰(zhàn)后美國西部的工業(yè)旅游在1957年，當(dāng)時旅游業(yè)還不普及，愛德華艾比（Edward Abbey）在猶他州（Utah）摩崖地區(qū)（Moab）附近的拱門國家紀(jì)念碑（Arches Nation

53、al Monument）開始了持續(xù)兩年的“夏日服務(wù)”。幾年以后，他又返回該地，做了第三次“夏日服務(wù)”，旅游模式的急劇變化促使他寫出了眾所周知的環(huán)境宣言：沙漠獨(dú)居者。“工業(yè)旅游已經(jīng)到來，”他宣稱到，“曾經(jīng)一些富有冒險精神的人周末到此露營，待上一到兩個晚上，體驗這種原始和自然的清新，遠(yuǎn)離城市的喧鬧，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)整個的春季和夏季，眾多巴洛克式汽車魚貫出入此地?！卑确Q這些開車來的游客為“機(jī)械化游客”，認(rèn)為他們是“工業(yè)旅游的消費(fèi)者和初始發(fā)展的來源，也是工業(yè)旅游的受害者?！盪nit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart II Detailed Study of the Texts a

54、nd Classroom 艾比為工業(yè)旅游貼的標(biāo)簽在二戰(zhàn)以后的美國西部已被證明是對旅行的一個恰當(dāng)?shù)谋扔?。工業(yè)旅游暗示著旅游營銷開始作為一種商品向大眾消費(fèi)出售。但是艾比忽視了一個在推動西部地區(qū)工業(yè)旅游發(fā)展方面的重要角色：州政府。西部地區(qū)的政府官員在促進(jìn)旅游業(yè)發(fā)展方面發(fā)揮了一個直到現(xiàn)在仍被忽視，但卻非常重要的角色。為了成功地吸引游客，每個州都創(chuàng)建一個不同于其他州的自有品牌或可識別的標(biāo)志。而且，國家旅游局向美國汽車協(xié)會等旅游推廣機(jī)構(gòu)提供旅游宣傳材料，在隨后的旅游熱潮中每個州都建立了自身的旅游特色。Unit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart II Detailed Study

55、 of the Texts and Classroom 像其它西部的州一樣，猶他州的旅游業(yè)之所以能成為一個優(yōu)秀的案例是因為旅游業(yè)已經(jīng)成為其經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的重要組成部分，并成為整個西部地區(qū)發(fā)展的重要驅(qū)動力。猶他州主辦2002年冬季奧運(yùn)會，州政府成功的打造了一個吸引各方游客的形象。擁有獨(dú)特的摩門教的歷史和文化是猶他州區(qū)別于其它西部各州的主要不同的地方，但其充分借助自身特色卻為其它擁有自身獨(dú)特歷史文化的州發(fā)展特色旅游和品牌旅游提供了經(jīng)驗。打造旅游品牌是猶他州旅游業(yè)發(fā)展的重要戰(zhàn)略，它成功幫助猶他州旅游業(yè)完成由落后閉塞向全球旅游角色的轉(zhuǎn)變。Unit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart

56、 II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom 在戰(zhàn)后一段時期，猶他州的旅游業(yè)取代日漸衰退的戰(zhàn)時產(chǎn)業(yè)，彌補(bǔ)了制造業(yè)、礦業(yè)等西部殖民經(jīng)濟(jì)主要產(chǎn)業(yè)的普遍衰退。旅游業(yè)是誘人的，因為它是一個非消耗性產(chǎn)業(yè)，擁有可以從外部地區(qū)賺取旅游收入的優(yōu)勢。這些收入不僅為旅游從業(yè)者帶來收益，也可增加政府稅收。正如歷史學(xué)家阿瑟 R戈麥斯（Arthur R. Gomez）所指出的，發(fā)展旅游使落基山地區(qū)抓住了未來經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵，改變了殖民經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的模式。在落基山地區(qū)，旅游支出在1960年至1965年增加了30 ，掀起了旅游熱潮，重塑了西部山區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化和環(huán)境。政府在戰(zhàn)后初期促進(jìn)旅

57、游業(yè)發(fā)展釋放出強(qiáng)大的力量，西部地區(qū)的大城市煥然一新，發(fā)展內(nèi)陸旅游，創(chuàng)造了該地區(qū)由制造業(yè)向服務(wù)業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)變的繁榮。理解這些溫文爾雅的政府官員如何利用公共資金來推動他們的工業(yè)旅游的愿景是了解二十世紀(jì)西部地區(qū)變化軌跡的關(guān)鍵。Unit 8 Entertainment and TravelPart II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom 簡單地說，第二次世界大戰(zhàn)后國內(nèi)旅游的迅猛發(fā)展可以從四個方面進(jìn)行解釋：嬰兒潮、帶薪休假的美國工人增加、不斷完善的州際公路網(wǎng)絡(luò)以及不斷擴(kuò)張的消費(fèi)主義。嬰兒潮意味著可以實現(xiàn)家庭旅游，把孩子放在家庭轎車的后座，沿途可以停駐汽車旅館。度假者選擇扎營的首要目的
