Jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是怡茹要问的：抢风头。 YR: Hey Jessica! 你听说那个大资讯了么? JESSICA: What? What happened? YR: 就是上礼拜话剧社的演出啊! Anna完全不顾原来话剧的剧本，使劲抢戏，女主角的风头全被她抢去了! 听说她们俩在后台因此大吵了一架! 对了，这个“抢风头用美语要怎么说啊? JESSICA: Hmm...抢风头就是“steal someone's thunder". Steal is spelled s-t-e-a-l; and thunder, t-h-u-n-d-e-r, thunder. Basically, steal someone's thunder means to do something that takes attention away from what someone else has done. YR: 没错! Anna 把本来属于女主角的戏份都抢去了，She totally stole her thunder! 现在学校里人人都在说这事儿。 JESSICA: Ha! I think Anna is getting her 15 minutes of fame here! YR: 15 minutes of fame? 出名15分钟?……这是什么意思? JESSICA: 15 minutes of fame means that she's only famous for a very short period of time. YR: 哦……我明白了，这也就是短暂出名的意思吧! 就像上回电视真人秀单身女郎里的女主角，那会儿人人都在谈论她，现在节目结束了，她也就销声匿迹了。 |
