英语翻译
Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride,and pass a forest,a London street,a scene from the Wild West,and a burning building that never burns down?There’s only one place,and that’s Hollywood,in California.The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets（布景） in the Universal Studios,one of the oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood,the films and the stars.But they are only memories.Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be.Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down.Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas.Instead,they repeat old ones.
The film industry is changing fast.Teenagers still go out to the movies.The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home.But older people mostly stay home to watch series,like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies.These “soap opera”,as they are called,show rich,powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes.But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged,like many of the people who watch them.
Though it is soap opears that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business,big films are still being made in America.But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood.New York is the most important new center,but there are many others as well.Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more.Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio.Other states,especially Florida and Texas,are working hard to take the film business away from California.They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back.The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.

世界上有哪个地方,花一个小时的车程,可以穿过葱郁的森林,走过伦敦的街道,体验辽阔的西部.感受燃烧的建筑?只有一个地方那个,那就是位于加利福利亚的好莱坞.你在一个小时的车程里看到景象,都是电影布景,他们出自于美国历史最悠久,最大的电影公司之一——环球影城.
环球影城之旅可以勾起很多好莱坞光辉岁月的回忆,那些电影,还有那些明星.但现在仅仅只是回忆了,好莱坞今时已不同往日,电影的制作成本在上升,导演的信心确在下降,制片人不愿为新想法的电影投入资金,而是一直重复拍一些老片子.
电影行业日新月异,年轻人现在还是会去电影院,吧那里当做家以外的与朋友会面的场所.但年长的人更愿意在家看电视,就像风靡美国的电视剧dynasty一样,它与那些美国大片一样举足轻重,这些 “肥皂剧”里的人物都是有权有势的贵族家庭,衣着华丽,但是那些演员们,和大多数看电视的观众一样,已到中年.
尽管肥皂剧撑起了好莱坞电影的江山,精彩的电影大片也成出不穷,不过很多都不是在好莱坞拍的,纽约是一个拍摄中心,同时也有很多其他的摄影基地.随着摄影器材性能的提升,真实场景代替昂贵的模型,制片人渐渐明白他们不再需要好莱坞了,其他一些州,如德克萨斯州和福罗里达州,正在努力壮大自己的电影行业,他们提供更好的拍摄条件和低廉的价格
但好莱坞正在奋起直追,加利福利亚,这个昔日的电影之城,正在努力保住自己的辉煌头衔.
