　　Animation announcement

　　Welcome to the 23rd Annual Animation Anniversary. I'm Dick Proctor, your host for the evening and I' d like to open with a couple of words about recent developments. I don’t have any funny anecdotes like I did last year; I got myself in enough trouble with a couple of those. But you' 11 get plenty of comedy with our main speaker, Mr. Jerry Sprainer.

　　I'm first proud to say that we have had appalling success in computer animation over this past year. Tiny boxes on our tables called computers have replaced ancient technique in animation. Tools we used ten years ago are on display at the local museum. Drawing apparatus from five years ago are collector's items with the status of antiques. And that device I used last week has already tripled in price! Some antagonism still remains among a few annoying old-timers that we all still love, honor and respect, but we all anticipate abright future for animation on computers.

　　Anyway, I would now like to announce the beginning of a new animation movie project set in the Antarctic that will continue to merge traditional and computer animation. This project has full funding, will test even newer technology and, while the story is still only anecdotal, anticipation is great. We hope to annihilate other movies released in competition with this project at the box office.

　　Anyhow, if there are no further announcements, and before they pull me off the stage,I would like to introduce our main speaker, a man for whom there is no apathy, Mr. Jerry Sprainer.

　　动画电影开拍发布会

　　欢迎参加第 23 届年度动画片纪念活动。我是今晚的主持人迪克•普罗克特。首先我想简单介绍一下最近的发展情况，我不会像去年那样给你们讲趣闻轶事，因为一些所谓的故事给我惹足了麻烦，但我们的重要发言人杰里•斯普兰纳先生会让你们笑个够。

　　首先我要自豪地宣布，过去一年我们在电脑.动画制作方面取得了惊人的成就。我们上的这些叫做电脑的小盒子已经取代了古老的动画制作方法。十年前我们使用的动画制作工具现

　　在已经陈列在地方博物馆了。五年前使用的绘画设备已经被收藏家作为古董收藏。上个星期我刚刚使用过的设备身价已经涨了三倍。少数几个大家仍然爱戴、尊重和敬仰同时又很讨厌的守旧者还是存有敌对情绪，可我们都期望电脑动画有一个美好的未来。

　　无论如何，现在我要宣布，一部新的动画电影即将在南极洲开拍，它将继续使传统动画与电脑动画相结合。这部电影拍摄资金充足，将试验更新的技术，尽管故事仍然只是趣闻轶事，但大家都寄予了厚望。我们希望在票房收入上一举打败与它竞争的其他影片。

　　不管怎样，如果没有其他的事情要宣布，在他们赶我下台之前，我要介绍我们的重要发言人-----没有人会对他无动于衷的杰里•斯普兰纳先生!
