Subtitles started out as an accessibility feature for deaf audiences, and to translate foreign language films into your own. Of course, it's not just deaf audiences that subtitles help. The translated subtitles of foreign films are great for learning languages, letting you read and hear how they're pronounced at the same time. Movie subtitles are written ahead of time, but subtitling for live TV has to be done in the moment as the person is speaking, so mistakes are likely to happen. But because subtitles can be everything, from monster squelches (扑哧声) to bombs exploding, it's a great way to learn many things, such as new adjectives. Subtitler Karli Witkowska explained how her choice of adjective created emotion for the audience. Karli belongs to a team of subtitlers who try to make their descriptions as close as possible to the sounds they hear. Karli bases her descriptions on the film's type. The sound effects needed for a thriller like Stranger Things—creaking (嘎吱作响) stairs and sudden screams—are very different from the sounds used in historical period dramas. This influences the adjective Karli chooses to describe a sound. For example, light hearted and cheerful music might be described as jaunty—full of energy and confidence. Another time, her team found exactly the right expression “gobsmacked silence”. In this scene, the characters are about to gasp—take in a short, sudden, and quick breath of air without speech or sound in the scene, you are able to tell people that atmosphere. “So when my colleague came up with that one, I definitely gave him a big thumb up,” she said. In fact, the phrase “gobsmacked silence” is so good that it goes viral (走红) and is being used in all kinds of situations. 1. What does the writer want to convey about subtitling in paragraph 2 A.
