每年奥斯卡颁奖典礼之后明星们都会参加一个庆祝酒会，在这个场合，大家不必致辞，也不用拘泥于礼节，完全可以放松享受。这种活动就叫afterparty。 Afterparty or after-party refers to a relaxed social gathering which occurs after a party, concert, or trip to a nightclub. Afterparty（也写作after-party）指参加完欢聚派对、音乐会或者去完夜店之后举行的一个气氛放松的社交聚会。 Around the middle of the first decade in the 21st century, media coverage of large, glittery celebrity events such as the Oscar and BAFTA awards ceremonies suddenly started making effervescent reference to the after-party, an eagerly anticipated relaxing and drinking session taking place after the main event. The after-party continues to thrive in 2013, providing yet more fodder for hungry paparazzi and celebrity gossip columns. 在2005年左右，媒体对奥斯卡和BAFTA等有大批明星出席的颁奖典礼的报道突然对典礼之后的小聚会产生了浓厚的兴趣，这种聚会通常都很受期待，在主要活动结束后供众人放松饮酒闲聊。这种小聚会的势头一直延续到2013年，为四处寻觅猛料的狗仔队和明星八卦专栏提供了更多素材。 |
