英語口語練習小對話 第845期:全明星陣容

Subject : It is reported that show had an All-star cast.

第一， 迷你對話

A: Let’s go to see Atonement this Sunday.

週末我們一起去看《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”，整個短語的意思即爲：全明星陣容。

2. 拓展範例

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?

假設你現在手上都有這班明星級的演員,那你還會繼續拍獨立電影?

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“據報道……”“據說……”。例如：

It is reported that the car accident took place sometime yesterday. 據報導，那場車禍是在昨天某個時候發生的。

It is reported that the temperature will decline sharply in one or two days. 據報告近日氣溫將明顯下降。
