1.Watching classic holiday movies is a journey through the technology used to create yuletide joy in different generations.
看经典的假日电影是一次通过科技展开的旅程，这种技术给不同的时代的观众都创造了欢乐。
2.We once used asbestos as movie snow — now the technology ranges from computer graphics to a special type of paper.
我们曾经使用石棉来制造电影中的雪景--如今的人造雪技术则包括了从电脑图像技术到特殊纸张都有。
3.In the early days of film, Hollywood “snowmen” would take anything that could be seen as white and flaky and put it to use, author and Atlas Obscura editor April White told LAist.
在电影的早期，好莱坞的《雪人》这部影片会把任何可能像白色和片状的东西拿出来代替雪使用，电影编剧阿特拉斯·奥布斯库拉编辑阿普丽尔·怀特告诉莱斯特。
4.Those sources of flaky whiteness included bleached cornflakes, gypsum, salt, concrete dust, asbestos, and even chicken feathers.
这些片状白色物的来源包括漂白的玉米片、石膏、盐、混凝土灰尘、石棉，甚至鸡毛。
5.“There had been falling snow, but there were problems with the techniques that were used,” Christmas in the Movies author Jeremy Arnold told LAist.
电影作者杰里米·阿诺德告诉莱斯特：“曾经下过雪，但所用的技巧有问题。”
6.“In the silent era, filmmakers often used cotton for snow, until they realized this was a big fire danger on a soundstage.”
“在默片时代，电影制片人经常用棉花做雪，直到他们意识到这会成为片场上的巨大火灾隐患。”
7.While the full deadly effects of some of these substances weren’t well known at the time, cast and crew could already see that some of them made breathing difficult.
虽然这些物质的全部致命影响在当时还不为人所知，但演员和工作人员已经看到其中一些物质会使人呼吸困难。
8.They’d often wear masks between takes to avoid breathing in some of this stuff.
在拍摄间隙他们不得不戴上口罩来避免吸入这些东西。
9.Bleached snowflakes remained one of the most commonly used materials early on, with some movies from the 1920s and '30s featuring what appear to be giant snowflakes — and they would basically just drop straight down, Arnold said, as filmmakers lacked a good way to realistically blow snow into the frame.
漂白雪花仍然是早期最常用的材料之一，一些20世纪20年代和30年代的电影呈现的是看似巨大的雪花，阿诺德说，这些雪花基本上是直接掉下来的，因为电影制片人缺乏一种很好的方法来将雪实际地吹进画面中。
10.There was a logic to the wide variety of materials in use.
之所以会选择范围如此之宽的材料来使用也是有原因的。
11.Different substances were used to fake different kinds of snow.
他们会使用不同的材料来模拟不同的雪景。
12.You need snow banks, snow that can hold footprints, snow that catches in the corners of windows or sits on trees.
你会需要拍雪堆，能留下脚印的雪地，在窗户角堆积或者在树上堆积的雪。
13.And you also need to be able to depict fake ice on camera — it was sometimes paper, and sometimes actual ice, according to White.
怀特说，你还需要能够在相机上贴上假冰--有时是纸，有时是真冰。
14.While movie studios would truck in real snow at times, they didn’t often have large refrigerated studios to keep that snow as fresh as … well, the driven snow.
尽管有时电影的摄影棚能够偶尔遇到真正的雪，但是他们没有足够巨大的冷库把整个摄影棚装下来让这些雪跟真正的雪一样自然。
