Part 3 Idols and Fans 追星族
Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 1
Helen: If you ask some young people to list ten people they admire most, what list do you think they would come up with? Andy: Not heroes or heroines, I believe. Helen: They would name people who are celebrated for their wealth and glamour rather than their achievements and moral strength of character. Andy: Exactly. They seem to be quite fascinated by movie and television celebrities, fashion models, professional athletes, and even comic book and cartoon characters. Helen: They somewhat become legendary and mythic. Andy: It is the media that make those people so publicized that they become culture icons.
讲解:
1. 对话中Helen和Andy在讨论偶像的问题。如果让现在的年轻人列出十个他们最崇拜的人,谁会榜上有名呢?Andy猜肯定不是那些英雄人物,而多半会是那些富豪和明星。come up with something,找到,提出答案或办法等等,以前我们也说过这个词组,例如:They came up with a cure for the disease. 他们找到了治疗这种疾病的办法。
2. 这里的celebrate可不是庆祝的意思,它组成的词组, be celebrated for something,意思是“著名的,驰名的”,例如:Burgundy is celebrated for its fine wines. 勃艮第以盛产葡萄美酒而驰名。
3. Andy说这些年轻人会为那些影视明星,模特,职业运动员甚至卡通书和卡通人物着迷。be fascinated by something,某人为某事某物而着迷,例如:They were fascinated by the toys in the shop.他们被店里的玩具吸引住了。
4. Helen也同意Andy的说法。Andy还认为是媒体的宣传让这些人变成了文化偶像。不管怎么说,娱乐圈还是给我们带来了无穷的乐趣,关键是人们怎么看待它和利用它。
