One of my favorite stories comes from Frank Serafine. 我最喜欢的段子之一来自于弗兰克·塞拉凡尼。
He's a contributor to our library, and a great sound designer for "Tron" and "Star Trek 1" and others. 他是我们音效库的贡献者之一，也是《创：战记》和《星际迷航》及其他作品的伟大音效设计师。
He was part of the Paramount 2 team that won the Oscar for best sound for "The Hunt for Red October." 他是派拉蒙公司那个赢得奥斯卡的《猎杀红色十月》的音效团队中的一员。
In this Cold War classic, in the '90s, they were asked to produce the sound of the propeller 3 of the submarine. 在这个九十年代的、描述冷战期的经典影片里，他们需要制作潜水艇螺旋桨的声音。
So they had a small problem: they couldn't really find a submarine in West Hollywood. 但他们遇到一个小困难：他们当时在西好莱坞找不到潜水艇。
So basically, what they did is, they went to a friend's swimming pool, and Frank performed a cannonball, or bomba. 因此，简单来说，他们想了这么个法子，他们去了一个朋友的游泳池，弗兰克表演了一次炮弹入水。
They placed an underwater mic and an overhead mic outside the swimming pool. 他们安装了一个水下麦克，还有游泳池外的水上麦克。
So here's what the underwater mic sounds like. 这是水下麦克录下的声音。
Adding the overhead mic, it sounded a bit like this: 加上水上麦克的声音后，它听起来是这样的：
So now they took the sound and pitched it one octave down, sort of like slowing down a record. 他们拿到这个声音后，把它降了一个八度，就好像慢放一个录音。
And then they removed a lot of the high frequencies. 然后他们把很多高频的声音去掉。
And pitched it down another octave. 然后再降一个八度。
And then they added a little bit of the splash from the overhead microphone. 然后他们又加入了一点点水面上录制的水花四溅声。
And by looping and repeating that sound, they got this: 然后循环，反复播放，他们最终得到了这种效果：
So, you know, creativity and technology put together in order to create the illusion that we're inside the submarine. 看吧，创造力和技术结合后能创造我们身在潜水艇里的假象。
vi.作长途艰辛的旅行；n.长途艰苦的旅行
- We often go pony-trek in the summer.夏季我们经常骑马旅行。
- It took us the whole day to trek across the rocky terrain.我们花了一整天的时间艰难地穿过那片遍布岩石的地带。
