妙语佳句,活学活用
1. Did you know there’s a rumor circulating that he's dead. The media is having a feeding frenzy over this. All the phone lines jammed.
这几句表达都非常形象生动,学英语的人一定要记牢。Did you know there’s a rumor circulating that he's dead. 妙在 circulate这个词,表示“传播”。The media is having a feeding frenzy over this. 妙在feeding 和over,over是个很有用的小词,不同的场合可以表示不同的意思,比如:They made a deal over lunch. 他们吃午饭时搞定了事情。I wanna talk it with you over coffee. 我想和你喝杯咖啡,谈谈这件事。All the phone lines jammed. 这里是说“所有电话都战线(因为电话太多了)。”Jam 本意表示“拥堵,堵塞”,比如traffic jam。
2. pirated shot
Pirate 是海盗,它还可以表示“盗版,盗版者”,也可以用作动词表示“盗版”这个行为。Shot 可以指“照片”,这里是指“电影镜头/摄影”。Every network has a pirated shot 就是说“每个网络/广播网/电视台都有截取的……镜头”,因为这个镜头是非法截取的,所以称之为pirated shot。
