ESL Podcast 1174 – Describing Video Quality 


Amelia: I wish we had hired a professional videographer to film it instead of asking your friend Lenny to do it. 


Victor: This video isn’t so bad. The production quality isn’t the best, but he did a pretty good job. 


Amelia: It’s not bad if you like your video out-of- focus. There are no transitions 1 between scenes and the lighting 2 is terrible. At best, it looks like a rough cut. 


Victor: It is a little rough, I admit. 


Amelia: There are problems with the audio, too. There are sections of dead air when the audio cuts out. And when there is audio, the volume isn’t uniform. 


Victor: That’s true, too, I guess… 


Amelia: And the handheld camera footage is so shaky that I feel ill watching it. 


Victor: Lenny was just having a good time, getting into the spirit of it. 


Amelia: Is that why he got close-up shots of all of the pretty women and none of the other guests? 


Victor: Well, you know Lenny. He’ll do better next time. 


Amelia: Next time?! How many times do you plan to get married? 


Script by Dr. Lucy Tse 



1 transitions
过渡,转变,变迁( transition的名词复数 )
  • Before explaining a workflow, I'll explain a few simple pieces of terminology: states and transitions. 在解释什么是工作流之前,我先来解释几条简单的术语:状态(states)和过渡(transitions)。
  • Both ionization and excitation lead to eletronic transitions that may be the emission of light. 电离和激发都将导致可能伴随有光发射的电子跃迁。
2 lighting
n.照明,光线的明暗,舞台灯光
  • The gas lamp gradually lost ground to electric lighting.煤气灯逐渐为电灯所代替。
  • The lighting in that restaurant is soft and romantic.那个餐馆照明柔和而且浪漫。
