布兰妮提醒粉丝：请做好准备迎接她隆重复出。唉！“小甜甜”这次是否真的会东山再起？虽怀疑但仍充满期待…… 有消息称，布兰妮上周五在其官方网站写道：我希望今年能够复出，而且比以往任何一次表现都来得宏大、精彩。

请看外电相关报道：Britney Spears is putting fans on notice: Be prepared for her hot career comeback.

"I look forward to coming back this year bigger and better than ever," writes Spears in a posting Friday on her Web site. She says she wants to go on tour and hopes her new album will be released later this year.

报道中的“comeback”指的是（明星）“复出”，也可以表示“东山再起”、“卷土重来”，或者“再度走红”。

在此，comeback相应的英文释义为“a return to formerly enjoyed status”（恢复以前的荣耀）。表示“复出”时，comeback常和动词make/stage/announce搭配，如：make a comeback/stage a comeback/announce one's comeback。

既然提到“复出”，其反义词“出道”自是不能不提。英语中，“出道”可表示为“to make one's debut”。

看下面一个例句：The old actor made a successful comeback after twenty years.（那位老演员二十年后成功复出，又红了起来。）
