心涛：洋洋，你觉得刚才的电影怎么样？    洋洋：说实话，一般吧。我不喜欢这种靠巨额投资、电影特效和一群巨星堆砌而成的电影。    心涛：哇，听起来你对电影的品位很特别。难道你喜欢看那种小制作低成本的电影？    洋洋：我嘛，不喜欢那种媚俗的电影。但我喜欢那种能让我有无限想象空间的电影。    心涛：可是你不觉得这种电影看完后，你心里仍然迷雾重重，很难受吗？    洋洋：恰恰相反，这种电影看完后，我会根据剧情设计出各种各样的可能性，这种设计比看电影本身有意思多了。    心涛：好吧，这周末我打算去看蜘蛛侠，估计你不想看吧？    洋洋：蜘蛛侠？我期待很久了呀！    心涛：但是这电影耗资巨大，还有电影特效，而且明星阵容强大呀，和你的品味格格不入。    洋洋：我总不能一直看小制作低成本的电影吧。 XT: Yang Yang, what do you think of the movie we just watched?
YY: Frankly, it's so-so. I'm not a fan of movies that rely on heavy funding, special effects and a star-studded line-up.
XT: Wow, it seems that your taste for movies is really special. Do you prefer those small-scale movies produced on low budgets?
YY: I don't like movies that are kitsch. But I love movies that leave room for endless imagination.
XT: But don't you feel that after watching this kind of movies, you're left with layers upon layers of confusion that's utterly difficult to endure?
YY: Quite the contrary, actually. After watching this kind of movies, I will draw up the various possibilities according to the plot, which is actually much more interesting than watching the movie itself.
XT: Ok then, I'm planning to watch Spiderman this weekend... I suppose you won't be interested?
YY: Spiderman? I've been waiting for it for so long!
XT: But this movie is produced on a huge budget and is full of special effects. And it also boasts of a formidable cast. It's totally incompatible with your tastes.
YY: I can't always be watching small-scale and low-budget movies only, right?
