[出走地平線：Quasimodo]
Flattening The Curve: Quasimodo
我只拍過一齣劇情片《海灘的一天》。
他們便頒發金馬獎最佳攝影給我。
怎可能呢？
我一竅不通。他們怎會不知道？
但怎樣學習得比較好？
我曾經試過報讀法國電影學校，但對方沒有取錄我。
多得法國朋友的穿針引線，我被請去幫一個女學生導演的處女作《黑與白》掌鏡。
我不懂法語，但女導演Claire Devers似乎不在意。
她在片場經常全速用法語指揮大局，我大部份時間都不明白她說甚麼，而且她常把 “Quasimodo，Quasimodo”掛在咀邊。
我以為自己一直在拍一齣同志黑白片，不是重拍《鐘樓駝俠》。那Quasimodo是怎麼一回事？電影裡沒有駝子，在劇本也找不到Quasimodo這個字。（Quasimodo，加西莫多原是 《鐘樓駝俠》主角的名字）
我當時的法國女友Gabrielle也一頭霧水，所以有天她來片場看個究竟。
Gabrielle觀察導演不出十分鐘，竟然捧腹大笑，把我拉到一旁。「Quasimodo不是一個角色」她解釋「這齣戲也不是《歌聲魅影》實驗版，更不是《鐘樓駝俠》。」
「那甚麼是Quasimodo?」我問。
Gabrielle向我派定心丸。「你的導演接受過古典教育，時不時想賣弄一下。『Quasimodo』 是拉丁文，導演跟她的同學從小學便學會了。她說『Quasimodo』，其實就像我們想說，你知的……差不多啦。這個字就像我們想帶出……自己沒法子用詞語表達實際想說甚麼的意思。」
I had shot only one feature film “That day on the Beach”.
They gave it Golden Horse Best Cinematography award.
How could that be?
I knew nothing. How come they didn’t notice?
But how best to get to know something?
I tried to get into French film school. They wouldn’t have me.
But French friends pulled a few strings and I was asked to photograph a woman student director’s first film "Noir et Blanc".
I didn’t speak French, but director Claire Devers didn’t seem to notice.
She kept talking full speed ahead giving directions I mostly couldn't follow, and “ Quasimodo , Quasimodo” was her signature phrase.
I thought we were making a black and white gay film, not a remake of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. So what’s all this Quasimodo stuff ? There are no hunchbacks in the cast and I can’t find “ Quasimodo ” in the script . (Quasimodo was the main protagonist of the The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. ）
French girlfriend Gabrielle couldn’t work it out either. So she came by to sort it out.
After ten minutes on set listening and watching my director, she burst out laughing, then took me aside. Quasimodo is not a character ” she explained “ this is not an experimental version of Phantom of the Opera and the set is definitely no Notre-Dame. ”
“ So what’s Quasimodo ? ” I asked.
Gabrielle re-assures me: “ Your director has had a Classic education, and she likes to show it off. ‘ Quasimodo ’ is Latin, which her class of students studied since primary school. She says “Quasimodo” when most of us would say something like, you know … actually means MORE OR LES. It’s when we say something like…. like when we can’t quite find the words to express what we really want to say. “

no跟not用法 在 Re: [文法] there的用法與否定- 看板Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
之前我也曾跟你有過同樣的疑問
再詢問了幾個外籍老師後的答案是....
There are pictures on the wall.......正確
There are not pictures on the wall......口語上確實有人這樣說
但就文法上來說....這句是錯的
There are not any pictures on the wall.....正確
There are no pictures on the wall........正確
他們的解釋是.....
not是用來形容動詞的....Eg: He is not sleeping.
而no是用來形容名詞的...Eg: There are no books on the desk.
此外 there is/are 的句型 主要是在強調 "數量" 所以不是回答 not
(除了not any的用法)
希望有幫助到你:)
※ 引述《stukpe (風)》之銘言：
: 請問在there are的句型中，是否可以不出現數字或量詞，如下句
: There are pictures on the wall. 這句話對嗎？(第一句)
: 如果上面的句子是對的，那改成否定句，是否可寫成
: There are not pictures on the wall. 這句話對嗎？(第二句)
: (感覺這句怪怪的，跟下面的第四句比)
: 根據參考書的內容以及我的認識，
: 比較常見到的否定寫法應該是
: There are not any pictures on the wall. (第三句)
: 或 There are no pictures on the wall. (第四句)
: 請問在there are的否定句型中，是否一定要出現any或數字呢？
: 例：(底下四句就文法上應該都是對的吧)
: (肯定句) There are two pictures on the wall.
: (否定句) There are not two pictures on the wall.
: There are not any pictures on the wall.
: There are no pictures on the wall.
: 如果假設上述的第二句是對的，
: There are not pictures on the wall.
: 那它跟
: There are no pictures on the wall.
: 是否有意思上的差異，或是...(兩句若都對，就覺得好像有些怪異)
: 感謝解答
