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,就会来请教她。今天是吴琼要问的:剧透。

JESSICA:吴琼, I sent you a movie review article yesterday. Have you read it?

WQ:你是说那篇电影的影评,我可不能看!

JESSICA:Why not? !

WQ:因为电影我还没看啊!影评上来就警告读者说:本文有剧透!也就是说,看了文章就知道电影结局了!JESSICA, 这令人扫兴的“剧透”用美语怎么说呢?

JESSICA:It's called a spoiler. Spoiler is spelled s-p-o-i-l-e-r. A spoiler will reveal the ending of the movie to you when you'd rather find it out by yourself.

WQ:I see!Spoilers can really ruin the fun of watching a movie!

JESSICA:True. That's why people write a warning at the beginning of a review, which says "the following review contains spoilers."

WQ:对!影评应该先警告大家有剧透内容,省得扫观众的兴! 不过话说回来,有些片子编得很滥,只要看了开头,不用剧透,傻瓜都能猜出结局!

JESSICA:I agree. Those movies are no fun to begin with. You only need to avoid spoilers when there are plot twists.

WQ:Plot twist? P-l-o-t, plot是故事情节, t-w-i-s-t, twist,是扭曲,所以plot twist 我猜就是出乎意料的情节,电影里的形势大逆转,对不对?

JESSICA:Yes! Plot twists are the development that viewers don't expect to happen. Good writers use plot twists to keep viewers interested.

WQ:我就特别喜欢结局出人意料的片子,特别是电视剧,一集结尾留下个悬念,吊胃口!

JESSICA:In English, we call that a cliffhanger. It's usually a dilemma or a dangerous situation. So you want to watch the next episode to see how the characters deal with it.

WQ:哦!原来,在结尾时留下的悬念就是cliffhanger! C-l-i-f-f-h-a-n-g-e-r, cliffhanger. 诶呀,我要走了,My favorite show is about to start, and last episode ended on a cliffhanger!

JESSICA:Okay, but before you go, tell me what you've learned today!

WQ:第一,剧透是a spoiler; 出乎意料的故事情节是 a plot twist;电影或电视结尾时的悬念是 a cliffhanger.
