   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,就会来请教他。今天是怡茹要问的:炒作。


  YR: JESSICA, 你看,这两个电影明星被偷拍到一起吃饭逛街。
  JESSICA: Hmm, interesting. So, are they dating?
  YR: 杂志说他们约会,可他俩不承认。我看,这一定又是炒作,因为他们一起拍的电影快上映啦! 哎?“炒作”美语怎么说啊?
  JESSICA: We call that a "publicity 1 stunt 2". Publicity is spelled p-u-b-l-i-c-i-t-y; and stunt, s-t-u-n-t. A publicity stunt.
  YR: Publicity 是“宣传”, stunt 是“特技”,放在一起,a publicity stunt,“为了宣传而使出的绝招”,这就是炒作!
  JESSICA: Right. 炒作是为了票房。I bet that this is a publicity stunt to make the movie a box office hit.
  YR: 哦~~box office 就是票房。 卖座好,票房高的电影就是 a box office hit. 不过 JESSICA, 我听说这部要上映的片子还真不错,要不咱们也买张票去看看,支持一下他们的 box office?
  JESSICA: No, I'm not going! YR, 现在很多电影都没有宣传的那么好,they're promoted too excessively!
  YR: 你是说好多电影被吹过头了?
  JESSICA: Right. We have a word for that---overhyped, o-v-e-r-h-y-p-e-d.
  YL: overhyped 就是名不副实,吹嘘过头。那我如果说,The movie star's performance in this comedy was overhyped. --这个明星在这部喜剧中的表演被吹过头了。对不对?
  JESSICA: That's correct. Now let's see what you've learned today!
  YR: 第一:炒作叫 a publicity stunt; 第二,票房叫 box office; 第三,形容吹嘘过头,可以用 overhyped.

1 publicity
n.众所周知,闻名;宣传,广告
  • The singer star's marriage got a lot of publicity.这位歌星的婚事引起了公众的关注。
  • He dismissed the event as just a publicity gimmick.他不理会这件事,只当它是一种宣传手法。
2 stunt
n.惊人表演,绝技,特技;vt.阻碍...发育,妨碍...生长
  • Lack of the right food may stunt growth.缺乏适当的食物会阻碍发育。
  • Right up there is where the big stunt is taking place.那边将会有惊人的表演。
