Anne of Green Gables 绿山墙的安妮
Paras.3-6
A child of about eleven, wore a faded brown sailor hat and beneath the hat, extending down her back, were two braids of very thick, decidedly red hair. Her face was small, white and thin, also much freckled; her mouth was large and so were her eyes. 一个大约十来岁的孩子,戴着一顶褪了色的褐色水手帽,地地道道的浓密的红头发梳成的两条辫子从帽子底下伸出来,拖在背后。她那苍白瘦小的脸上长着好些雀斑,嘴巴和眼睛都挺大。

We can have visual enjoyment when watching films
Debate
But settings and filters in some films are so disappointing that we can't bear them.
Some books are difficult to understand. Watching adapted films can help us.
But usually,performance in films isn't satisfying. And Films limit our imagination,compared with books.
We are easily absorbed in dynamic images. Moreover, BGM is arranged to
create certain emotional atmosphere.
The world in books is much bigger than that in films. However, Some adapted films are not in line with the original books.
