我们先来看一下绯闻女孩这部剧的介绍。
Gossip Girl follows the lives of privileged(享有特权的) teenagers on the upper east side(上东区). Serena Van Der Woodsen is a blonde(金发女子) and beautiful socialite(社会名流/交际花). Everyone knows Serena. Blair Waldorf is Serena's best friend but it's always about Serena not Blair. 这段简介我们一眼上去看非常短,却有很多重点单词和经典表达。
privileged adj 有特权的
这个单词的名词是privilege :强调的是a special right or advantage that a particular person or group of people has
blonde adj. 金色的 n.金发女子线标题
She has the blond hair,Blonde这个词,其实在英文中当年经常会有一些不太好意思,甚至会有所谓的blonde joke.因为在部分西方人眼中,金发女子的固化形象就是:美丽但是不聪明。(其实这种刻板偏见不仅仅只有英语中有,中文也有所谓的“胸大无脑”,“花瓶”这样的说法吗)
给大家举一个blonde joke的例子:
How to amuse a blond for hours?(怎么才能让一个金发女子在自娱自乐呢?)Just write “please turn over” on both sides of a piece of paper. (在纸上两面上都写着-请翻到另一面就行了)
不知道大家能不能get到西方幽默,但是能看出笑话里在嘲笑金发女子不聪明。甚至还有一些衍生词组:Blonde bimbo 声望不好的金发女子。
当然也有对blonde的美貌进行夸奖的词组:Blonde bombshell 金发美女(小编最早听到是在Victoria’s secret 的内衣秀上)
socialite n.社会名流
socialite N 社会名流(有点像-交际花意思,但是中文会有贬义,英文就是中性,没有情感色彩上的偏好)
Paris Hilton is one of the most well-known socialites in the world.
说完这个简介,里面还有一些经典的对白,我们来挑几个看一下:
But I do wanna try.
Do 表示强调“的确” --- I do love you.
很简单的口语,大家可以注意一下,不一定是的词汇让你的语言显得地道,可能是简单的语法点,让语言显得更自然。
But you make them fear you.
But you make them fear you.Fear 除了有恐惧的意思,其实可以翻译成 敬畏。
tag along.
You still positive that you don't want me to tag along.这里 tag along 跟随;尾随 (往往指的是在没有邀请之下,对方就跟着来了)
love triangle
Since he is not feeling well recently, I would let him tag along. I didn't sign up for some creepy love triangle.
我当初可不是为了恶心三角恋而和你在一起。因为本剧非常的狗血,所以经常会出现“三角关系”,这个love triangle真是再直白不过了。
看完这些对白,大家有没有想到自己曾经喜欢的电视剧或者电视节目呢?雅思口语中就经常会询问,你喜欢的电视节目,在最近几次考试中,更加明确的表明,我就是要问你喜欢的“game show” “reality show”, 非常的明确,不再笼统的说TV show, 所以大家要提前准备好各种素材,尤其是马上到了月末换题季,虽然5月雅思大概率取消,但是口语话题肯定是要换了,如果国内不开考,话题题库更新就会更慢。
part2有妙招
Describe a game show that you watchedWhat it isWhen you watched itWho you watched it withHow do you feel about it
首先 我们要知道TV show的类型 reality show(真人秀);variety show (综艺秀)talk show(脱口秀) ; competition show(选秀); game show(游戏类节目); dating show(相亲节目)。然后理解什么是游戏类:跑男,密室逃脱,对甚至快本都属于游戏类,不管是综艺秀还是真人秀,只要他们玩游戏都是游戏秀!
My favorite game show is a China reality show-Running Brothers, a Chinese version(版本) of a famous Korean variety show-Running man. So far there has been 7 seasons in total, with an all-star cast(全明星阵容) including the top celebrities from my country. Since it is a never-before-seen(的) type of variety show, it made a smashing hit(大热) as long as it aired(播出) in 2016. Every episode, the guests would play games to complete certain missions.
基本信息介绍,介绍时间,内容;嘉宾
I watched it because of the recommendation from my friends. Then I watched it almost every weekend for it was updated every Saturday night. It is hilarious and interesting to see how these celebrities responded and reacted when they confronted some difficulties, and it always has a way to crack me up. (让我开心). They would use wits(机智) and skills to beat others, which can always reveal their true personality.
这一段我怎么会看的基本信息:什么时候看,如何知道这个节目的
The reason why I like this show is various. To start with, it is very entertaining. Imagine you finish your work after a long day; all you need is something that can help you relax and get away from the reality.
Besides, it is still a competition show. You can always find someone to root for and gain some sort of sense of achievement(成就感) after watching it.
最后一段主要呼应主题为什么会看这个节目,其实大部分电视节目都离不开entertaining,而娱乐性就是让人放松舒压的基本论调。从这个角度说就可以了。
所以今天,我们看了一个小编喜欢的电视剧,然后分享了一个game show的基本写作模式,记住模式—先介绍——再个人(个人什么时候看)——抒感想。一般按照这样三步走,基本什么话题都能有。
