第一, 迷你對話
A: Let’s go to see Atonement this Sunday.
周末我們一起去看《贖罪》這個不電影吧。
B: It is reported that show had an all-star cast.
據(jù)說出演那部電影的全部是明星。
第二, 地道表達
all-star cast
1. 解詞釋義
All-star cast中的 cast是指“演員陣容”,star用來指代“明星”,整個短語的意思即為:全明星陣容。
2. 拓展范例
e.g. In a giant all-star cast, Bergman plays a funny old Swedish missionary.
在宏大的抒情詩般的明星陣容中,她扮演滑稽可笑的瑞典老傳教士。
e.g. Assume that you have gathered an all-star cast now, would you still make an independent film?
假設(shè)你現(xiàn)在手上都有這班明星級的演員,那你還會繼續(xù)拍獨立電影?
第三, 咬文嚼字
1. 生活中說“這部影片都是明星演的。”,可以用到情景劇中的表述:The show had a all-star cast.
2. It is reported that……的意思是“據(jù)報道……”“據(jù)說……”。例如:
It is reported that the car accident took place sometime yesterday. 據(jù)報導(dǎo),那場車禍?zhǔn)窃谧蛱炷硞€時候發(fā)生的。
It is reported that the temperature will decline sharply in one or two days. 據(jù)報告近日氣溫將明顯下降。
