爆米花電影是一部你幾乎純粹為了娛樂而看的電影。雖然有些電影會讓你思考,讓你對生活有一個新的看法,但爆米花電影也不是為它而製作的。
相反,它們是為了讓你暫時擺脫世俗的責任,享受你的生活。你可以用爆米花吃這些類型的電影,忘記你在世界上的擔憂。
Many of the summer blockbusters that you see each year are popcorn movies, but you might be surprised to realize that the ones that do the best are ones that really make you think.
你每年看到的許多夏季大片都是爆米花電影,但是你可能會驚訝地發現那些最出色的電影確實讓你思考。
2. Get the show on the road
開始做某事
如果有人告訴你get the show on the road,他們會敦促你開始做些什麼!他們希望你從某個地方開始,而不是等待準備工作完成,即使有些錯誤和事情會阻礙你的進步。
The circus ringmaster was tired of all his employees spending time drinking and partying instead of packing up to move. He shouted, 「Let』s get this show on the road!」 to get them to move.
馬戲團的領班厭倦了他的所有員工花時間喝酒和聚會,而不是打包搬家。他喊道:「我們上路吧!「讓他們行動起來。

就演藝事業而言,開演意味著開演,或是讓許多人第一次演出。
你也可以把「開始」這個詞用作形容詞或名詞。

電影演員和劇組希望在正式電影首映前一晚舉行一個私人開場派對,慶祝電影的上映。
4.Sell out
售罄
拋售有兩個含義——一個是積極的,另一個是消極的。如果你用「sell out」作為名詞,那不是好事。這意味著你完全放棄了你的原則,轉而選擇金錢之類的東西。
I spent two years building up this blog and I will not sell outmy brand for any amount of money by letting a bad service advertise on it.
我花了兩年時間建立了這個博客,我不會讓一個糟糕的服務在上面做廣告,以此來出賣我的品牌。

5. Live up to the hype
炒作
如果某件事(通常是一部電影或一場演出)達到了炒作的程度,那就意味著兩件事。首先,這意味著有足夠的興趣,或炒作。人們(如影評人、博客作者等)會因為某件事而興奮起來,為此大肆宣傳。
If some show, movie, or music album is to live up to this hype, it has to be as good as people hope it will be. This is, in general, difficult to live up to if there is a lot of hype.
如果一些節目、電影或音樂專輯要達到這種炒作效果,它必須像人們希望的那樣好。一般來說,如果有很多炒作的話,這是很難做到的。
I was not too sure how many details I wanted to share with my audience before the launch of my new podcast because I wanted it to live up to the hype.
我不太確定在我的新播客發布之前,我想和我的觀眾分享多少細節,因為我想讓它達到炒作的程度。

開始走下坡路
這是一個半貶義的術語,用來描述某些電視節目(有時還有一些電影)質量下降。

然而,他們決定降低質量,並有兩個本應該互相憎恨的角色開始約會。
Still, I believe that it would be better for the TV network to decide to end a series when it should end rather than jump the shark simply for the ratings. It ruins the show!
儘管如此,我相信電視網最好還是決定在應該結束的時候結束一部連續劇,而不是僅僅為了收視率而走下坡路。它毀了演出!

祝你成功
這個成語是演員和其他演員迷信的結果。他們中的許多人認為,如果你祝他們好運,那恰恰相反!他們的朋友和其他演員可能會告訴他們要摔斷一條腿。

8. To make a clown of yourself
做些滑稽的事
小丑應該是有趣和娛樂的人。即使有些人害怕小丑,他們有時也被認為是可笑的人,他們做各種事情讓人發笑。這通常不是你有意做的事情。相反,你可能打算做一些嚴肅的事情。然而,不是因為你自己的過錯,你最終會成為你自己的小丑——或者看起來像個傻瓜。

如果你在聚光燈下,你就在公眾的眼中。這意味著除了你做的所有工作之外,還有人真正關心你的個人生活。
這個表達來自戲劇場景中的一個古老的實踐。聚光燈是一種實際類型的光,也被稱為「鈣光」。明亮的白光是通過加熱氧氣和氫氣,並在其中放入一片石灰而產生的。它曾用於舞台照明,至今仍存在。
Dylan tried to avoid the publicity as much as possible, but he was in the limelight all the time because of his new major hit movie.
迪倫盡量避免公開露面,但由於他的新的熱門電影,他一直備受關注。

10.To crave the limelight
成為焦點

喬·安從來不是那種渴望引人注目的人,但在她出版了第一本《紐約時報》暢銷書之後,經過媒體和採訪,她開始看到了這種吸引力。
11. Museum piece
老古董,過時之物
A museum piece is something or someone that is so old, antique, and out of place that it should belong in a museum rather than as a part of everyday life.
一件博物館作品是一件古老的、獨特的、不合時宜的東西,它應該屬於一個博物館,而不是作為日常生活的一部分。
它主要用作貶義詞——如果你把某個東西或某個人稱為博物館的一件作品,這意味著他們被困在做事情的舊方法中,無法改變或改進。
當然,a museum piece可以直接使用。你可以直截了當地把陳列在博物館裡的東西稱為a museum piece,但慣用的意思更為常見。
Ross, your hat looks like a total museum piece, please do not take it with you to wear to the show.
羅斯,你的帽子看起來已經過時了,請不要帶著它去看展覽。
Lany was so angry when Rebecca called her homemade pants a museum piece because she had been so proud of her work before that.

13. The show must go on
一切都要繼續
不管發生了什麼壞事,也不管出了什麼差錯,一個有計劃的事件或表演必須繼續下去。這就是人們說「演出必須繼續下去」的意思。
這是一種表達方式,當某人想通過逆境和厄運,並執行他們的計劃。通常情況下,有很多理由放棄或推遲某件事,但與這種情況有關就是讓節目繼續下去。
「I know that the rain makes all out papers tear easily,」 said the director, 「but we can replace those with plastic pages. The show must go on!」
導演說:「我知道雨水會讓所有的紙都很容易撕破,但我們可以用塑料紙代替。」演出必須繼續!他說:「這是一個很好的選擇。」

喬伊一直很欽佩他的老闆,因為她有能力像管閑事一樣管理這個節目。
15.To sing your heart out
說出心聲
這個成語來源於這樣一個事實:大多數人喜歡唱歌,儘管他們並不總是唱得好。這是一個兩難的問題,因為一個唱得不好的人可能不想在別人面前唱歌,也不想大聲唱歌。
Let me tell you – the only thing you will regret is holding yourself back from doing something that you will really enjoy. Sing your heart out instead!
讓我告訴你——你唯一會後悔的就是阻止自己做一些你真正喜歡做的事情。把你的心聲唱出來!

要想成為一個節目的攔路虎,就必須有東西真正地阻止這場演出。出於某種原因——無論好壞,演出必須暫停一小段時間才能繼續。

19.It』s not over until the fat lady sings
比賽尚未結束,不能定下勝負
這是演藝界最著名和最常用的成語之一。當你說,「直到胖女人唱歌才結束」,這是一個愚蠢的表達,意味著在真正結束之前什麼都不會結束。
這句話是古時看歌劇時流行的。演出幾乎總是以一個胖女人唱最後一首歌結束。正因為如此,那些歌通常標誌著節目的結束,而這句話也由此而來。
We are so close to putting on the best show of our lives! Remember that it』s not over until the fat lady sings so don』t lose focus now.
