Introducing a ground-breaking technique that seamlessly merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques, first-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction with the Oscar-nominated short, "Paperman."

　　这是一次独创性的技术：将电脑生成和手绘动画天衣无缝的合二为一，第一次，导演约翰·卡尔斯的动画短片《纸人》以这种大胆新颖的动画形式夺得了奥斯卡提名(注：该片随后被评为第85届奥斯卡最佳动画短片)。

　　Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office.

　　运用极简抽象派艺术的黑白风，这部短片讲述的是一个居住于中世纪纽约市的孤独年轻男子，在他通勤的一个早晨遇见了一个美丽的女子，随后他的命运发生了出乎意料的转折。本深信他日思夜想的女孩再也不会出现了，第二次，就在街道的对面，他从自己的办公室看到了对面摩天大楼窗口里那个女孩的身影。

　　With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in store for him. Created by a small, innovative team working at Walt Disney Animation Studios, "Paperman" pushes the animation medium in an exciting new direction.

　　他全心全意的，想象着，拿一堆文件想赢得她的注意，但是他的努力辜负了命运为他安排的邂逅。由迪士尼工作室一小支充满创意的团队制作的《纸人》，推动了动画媒介朝新的、令人兴奋的方向发展。

　　练习提示：这部影片全程没有台词，那我们要怎样通过这部片子学习英文呢?介绍大家一个好方法：通过观察片中人物的神态，揣摩他们的心情，以自己创造发散台词的形式“补完”这个关于爱的小故事。你可以把想到的对话写在纸上。这里给出例文一篇，大家对照着练习吧!
