We have all visited the uncanny valley. If you have ever been frightened by a mannequin in a dark room or watched a horror movie about a talking doll that kills, then you have been there. While it makes sense to be afraid of murderous dolls, the uncanny valley response proved terrible for box office bombs such as Final Fantasy and Cats. The characters in both movies appeared either too human or not quite human enough in their appearance.
我们都曾陷入恐怖谷效应。如果你曾在黑暗的房间里被人体模型吓到，或观看关于会说话的杀人娃娃的恐怖电影，那么你就曾身陷其中。虽然害怕会杀人的娃娃很合理，但以像《太空战士》及《CATS猫》这样的票房炸弹来说，其引起的恐怖谷反应被证实是非常糟糕的。这两部片中的角色要不是在外观上太像人类就是不够像人类。
生活必备字词：
frighten vt. 使害怕
make sense 有道理，合理
response n. 反应
