That Instantly Generates Eye-Popping Videos By Cade Metz In April, a New York start-up called Runway AI unveiled technology that let people generate videos simply by typing a sentence into a box on a computer screen. The four-second videos were blurry, choppy, distorted and disturbing. Just 10 months later, the San Francisco start-up OpenAI has unveiled a similar system that creates videos that look as if they were lifted from a Hollywood movie. A demonstration included short videos — created in minutes — of woolly mammoths trotting through a snowy meadow, a monster gazing at a melting candle and a Tokyo street scene seemingly shot by a camera swooping across the city. OpenAI, the company behind the ChatGPT chatbot and the still-image generator DALL-E, is among the many companies racing to improve this kind of instant video generator. The technology could speed the work of seasoned moviemakers, while replacing less experienced digital artists entirely. It could also become a quick and inexpensive way of creating online disinformation, making it even harder to tell what's real on the internet. OpenAI calls its new system Sora, after the Japanese word for sky. Like other generative A.I. technologies, OpenAI's system learns by analyzing digital data — in this case, videos and captions describing what those videos contain. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.unveil英 [ʌnˈveɪl] 美 [ʌnˈveɪl] v. _______________________________ 2.eye-popping英 [ˈaɪ pɒpɪŋ] 美 [ˈaɪ pɑːpɪŋ] adj. _______________________________ 3.box英 [bɒks] 美 [bɑːks] n. _______________________________ 4.blurry英 [ˈblɜːri] 美 [ˈblɜːri] adj. _______________________________ 5.choppy英 [ˈtʃɒpi] 美 [ˈtʃɑːpi] adj. _______________________________ 6.chop v._______________________________ 7.distorted英 [dɪˈstɔːtɪd] 美 [dɪˈstɔːrtɪd] adj._______________________________ 8.disturbing英 [dɪˈstɜːbɪŋ] 美 [dɪˈstɜrːbɪŋ] adj. _______________________________ 9.lift英 [lɪft] 美 [lɪft] v._______________________________ 10.still英 [stɪl] 美 [stɪl] adj. _______________________________ 11.speed英 [spiːd] 美 [spiːd] v. _______________________________ 12.seasoned英 [ˈsiːzənd] 美 [ˈsiːzənd] adj. _______________________________ 13.season n. _______________________________；v. _______________________________ 14.extract v. _______________________________ 15.disinformation英 [ˌdɪsɪnfəˈmeɪʃn] 美 [ˌdɪsɪnfərˈmeɪʃn] n. ________________________ 16.caption英 [ˈkæpʃn] 美 [ˈkæpʃn] n. _______________________________ 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1._______________________________ 惊人的发现 2._______________________________ 惊天的报酬 3._______________________________令人叹为观止的特效 4._______________________________争相做某事 5._______________________________使某件事情加速进行 6._______________________________ 一个资深驴友 7._______________________________一位成熟的表演者 8._______________________________一位经验丰富的社会运动家 拓展练习阅读理解 “I didn’t like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn’t have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them. This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end — that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters. That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work. This issue won’t tell you what your ending should be — that’s up to you and the story you’re telling — but it might provide what you need to get there. 1．Why did the author go to Prof. Gracie? A．To discuss a novel. B．To submit a book report. C．To argue for a writer. D．To ask for a reading list. 2．What did the author realize after seeing Gracie? A．Writing is a matter of personal preferences. B．Readers are often carried away by character. C．Each type of literature has its unique end. D．A story which begins well will end well. 3．What is expected of a good ending? A．It satisfies readers’ taste. B．It fits with the story development. C．It is usually positive. D．It is open for imagination. 4．Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims? A．To give examples of great novelists. B．To stress the theme of this issue. C．To encourage writing for the magazine. D．To recommend their new books. 外刊精选答案 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.unveil英 [ʌnˈveɪl] 美 [ʌnˈveɪl] v. 首次公开，将......公之于众；摘去面纱 2.eye-popping英 [ˈaɪ pɒpɪŋ] 美 [ˈaɪ pɑːpɪŋ] adj. 令人瞠目的，令人大为惊奇的 3.box英 [bɒks] 美 [bɑːks] n. 输入框，对话框 4.blurry英 [ˈblɜːri] 美 [ˈblɜːri] adj. 模糊不清的 5.choppy英 [ˈtʃɒpi] 美 [ˈtʃɑːpi] adj. 不连贯的，支离破碎的 6.chop v. 切碎，剁碎 7.distorted英 [dɪˈstɔːtɪd] 美 [dɪˈstɔːrtɪd] adj. 扭曲的 8.disturbing英 [dɪˈstɜːbɪŋ] 美 [dɪˈstɜrːbɪŋ] adj. 引起烦恼的，令人不安的，引起恐慌的 9.lift英 [lɪft] 美 [lɪft] v. 截取，提取 10.still英 [stɪl] 美 [stɪl] adj. 静态的 11.speed英 [spiːd] 美 [spiːd] v. 加速 12.seasoned英 [ˈsiːzənd] 美 [ˈsiːzənd] adj. 富有经验的，老于此道的；调好味道的，加了佐料的 13.season n. 季节；v. 加入佐料 14.extract v. 截取，提取 15.disinformation英 [ˌdɪsɪnfəˈmeɪʃn] 美 [ˌdɪsɪnfərˈmeɪʃn] n. 故意制造的假情报 16.caption英 [ˈkæpʃn] 美 [ˈkæpʃn] n. 字幕，题注，插图说明 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.eye-popping finds 惊人的发现 2.eye-popping salaries 惊天的报酬 3.eye-popping visual effects 令人叹为观止的特效 4.race to do something争相做某事 5.speed something 使某件事情加速进行 6.a seasoned traveller 一个资深驴友 7.a seasoned performer 一位成熟的表演者 8.a seasoned campaigner 一位经验丰富的社会运动家 【全文翻译】 OpenAI推出新人工智能技术，可即时生成惊艳视频 去年四月，纽约一家名为Runway AI的初创公司推出了一项技术，人们只需要在电脑屏幕上的文本框中输入一句话，即可生成视频。不过，这些四秒长的视频画面模糊不清、断断续续、扭曲变形且令人不适。 仅仅10个月后，位于旧金山的初创公司OpenAI就推出了一个类似的系统，可以生成仿佛是从好莱坞电影中提取出来的视频片段。发布的演示中包含了在几分钟内制作完成的短视频——毛茸茸的猛犸象踏着白雪覆盖的草地走来，一个怪物凝视着正在融化的蜡烛，以及仿佛是由一台飞越城市上空的摄像机俯拍的东京街景（如封面图片所示）。 OpenAI是ChatGPT聊天机器人和静态图像生成器DALL-E背后的公司，也是众多在争先恐后改进即时视频生成器的公司之一。这项技术可以加快资深电影制作人的工作速度，同时完全取代经验不足的数字艺术家。它也可能会成为一种快速且廉价地制造网络虚假信息的方式，使人们更加难以分辨互联网上什么是真实的。 OpenAI将这个新系统命名为Sora，取自日语中“天空”一词。与其他生成式AI科技一样，OpenAI的系统通过分析电子数据来进行学习——就Sora而言，就是分析视频本身和描述视频内容的说明文字。 拓展练习阅读理解参考答案 1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章首先通过作者与教授关于小说结局的讨论引发了对结局的思考，接着阐述了不同类型的文学作品结局的特点，最后提出了写作好的结局的重要性并介绍了《Writer’s Digest》杂志如何帮助作家写出更好的结尾。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段““I didn’t like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not.( “我不喜欢这个结局，”我对我最喜欢的大学教授说。那是我大三的时候，我正在做一项关于维多利亚文学的独立研究。我刚刚读完乔治·艾略特的《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》，读到结尾我很伤心。格雷西教授耐心地让我考虑一下，不要只看我喜不喜欢)”可知，作者去找格雷西教授是为了讨论小说。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier.( 这对我来说是一个顿悟的时刻，我再也没有想过同样的结局。从那时起，如果我想读一个保证幸福的结局，我就会选一部爱情小说。如果我想要一个我猜不到的结局，我会选一本神秘小说。一种是我知道会发生什么，历史小说。选择读什么变得更容易了)”可知，见过格雷西教授后，作者意识到了每种类型的文学都有其独特的结局。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“But writing the end—that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that’s unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters.(但是写出结局——那很难。对作家来说很难，因为结局对读者来说意义重大。你必须平衡创造一个不可预测的结局，但这个结局又不能显得凭空而来，要适合角色的设定)”可知，人们对一个好结局的期望是结局又不能显得凭空而来，要适合角色的设定，也就是符合故事的发展。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work.( 这就是为什么这期《Writer’s Digest》旨在帮助你找出如何为你正在写的任何类型的作品写出最好的结局。如果是短篇小说，彼得·蒙特福德分解了六种技巧，你可以尝试看看哪一种能帮助你完美着陆。伊丽莎白·西姆斯分析了五部伟大小说的最后几章，看看它们包含了哪些关键点，以及你如何将它们应用到你的作品中)”可知，作者提到彼得·蒙福德和伊丽莎白·西姆斯是为了强调这期《Writer’s Digest》的主题，即帮助读者写出更好的结尾。故选B项。 【点睛】 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
