I'm Neil. And I'm Beth. If you're deaf or hard of hearing听力, watching television would be impossible without subtitles. The words of dialogue added at the bottom of the screen explaining what the characters are saying. Subtitled captions aren't only for dialogue. In the most dramatic戏剧的, action-packed scenes of a movie, there might be no one speaking, but there are plenty of sounds. A scream, a thrilling car chase, and all these sounds need to be described as well. In this programme, we'll be meeting Carly Witowska, a subtitler who works on The Stranger Things show to find out more.
And of course, we'll be learning some useful new vocabulary as well. But first, I have a question for you, Neil. Movie subtitles are written ahead of time, but subtitling for live TV has to be done in the moment, as the person is speaking.
