29：配音大师哈尔·道格拉斯逝世，享年89岁Voice of movie trailers Hal Douglas died aged 89
14/03/2014
Hal Douglas， perhaps the last of great Hollywood voiceover men has died at the age of 89. For decades， Hal Douglas provided the deep gra-velly tones for movie trailers for Man in Black， Bridget Jones'Diary and hundreds of other films. Here is our arts correspondent Vincent Dowd'Hal Douglas along with the late Don LaFontaine was joint king of the Hollywood movie voiceover. For decades， he made a very good living from trailers which he admitted he immediate forgot about until the check turned up. And there is some disagreement whether it was Douglas or LaFontaine who died in 2008 who introduced the cliché'In a world where'which became an industry in-joke. Douglas seldom needed to go anywhere near Hollywood. He lived in Virginia and delivered his performances down the line. Fashions have changed and today few trailers feature a narrative voice at all. Hal Douglas who started as an actor and radio announcer said his voice was the right pitch to cut through with the noisiest material. And he said for maximum gravel， the big trick was never to clear the throat before a recording section. I'll bear that in mind. Vincent Dowd on how Douglas has died aged 89.
译文：
好莱坞最后的配音大师——哈尔·道格拉斯去世，享年89岁。几十年来，哈尔·道格拉斯用深沉而沙哑的嗓音为数百部电影预告片配音，其中包括《黑衣人》和《BJ单身日记》等。下面是本台文艺记者文森特·多德发来的报道。“哈尔·道格拉斯和已故的唐·拉方丹被合称为好莱坞画外音之王。数十年来，道格拉斯凭借为电影预告片配音过着丰衣足食的生活。他自称配完音就忘了电影的名字，直到收到劳务费才想起来。唐·拉方丹于2008年去世，在他和道格拉斯之间谁发明了In a world where这个惯用说法上，业界一直存在着分歧，而且一直是玩笑的话题。道格拉斯基本不需要到好莱坞工作，他住在弗吉尼亚，在家就可以完成配音。如今行情变了，预告片不再需要叙述性的声音。哈尔·道格拉斯最初是一名演员兼电台播音员，他说自己的声音中有着最嘈杂的材质，极富穿透力，为了把沙哑而深沉的声音特质发挥到极致，他在录音之前是不会清嗓子的。”前辈的经验之谈，我会铭记在心。文森特·多德报道。哈尔·道格拉斯去世，享年89岁。

30：冰封3000年病毒复活3000-year-old giant virus'come back to life'
04/03/2014
Could climate change unleash deadly viruses that have lain dormant for thousands of years. It's possible according to a group of French scientists who have for the first time revived an ancient virus that have been buried in Siberian permafrost for 30，000 years. Fortunately， the one they found wasn't deadly to humans but it did cause some nasty damage to an amoebathey tested on. Our science reporter Rebecca Morelle spoke about the findings.'It's an absolutely incredible piece of research. So the viruses found varied about 30 meters down in the Siberian permafrost. And it's been lying there dormant， not doing anything for the last 30，000 years. But it was taken out and it sprung back to life， which is pretty incredible and the first time that a virus this old has actually been revived. It's also quite a weird virus， too. It's very big in size. You can actually see it under a microscope， which is really unusual for a virus and it's the biggest scientists have found so old and revived.''And it's under control or not？''Yes. So the good news is this doesn't actually affect humans or animals. But scientists all worried that there could be more deadly viruses lurking down there in the deep place at the permafrost， small pox for example. That was around thousands of years ago. It's eradicated now on the surface， but there is a chance if those deep places were penetrated.'

气候变化会唤醒沉睡数千年的致命病毒吗？这是有可能发生的。法国科学家首次唤醒了长眠于西伯利亚永冻土中三万余年的古老病毒。所幸，他们发现的病毒不会对人类造成致命的伤害，但可以伤害用于实验的变形虫。我们的科学记者瑞贝卡·莫雷勒就此进行了采访。“这绝对是一项了不起的研究。该病毒被发现于西伯利亚永冻土中，距地平面约30米。而且，三万年来悄无声息，没有活跃迹象。现在，我们将它从地下取出，并使其复活。这病毒也奇怪得很，非常大。透过显微镜，你能看得很清楚。这也是科学家们第一次发现并救活如此古老的病毒。”“我们能控制住它吗？”“可以，好在它并不影响人类和动物的生存。但是科学家担心，永冻土深处可能还隐藏着更多致命的病毒，比如天花。天花产生于几千年前，现在，从表面上看已经被根除，但很有可能已渗透到深层土壤。”
