Welcome to English @ the Movies, where we teach you American English heard at the movies. 欢迎来到《看电影学英语》,我们在这里教授电影中听到的美式英语。 Today's phrase is "time bomb," from the movie The Big Short. It is about a financial crisis that led to huge losses in banks and housing. Let's take a look. Watch for the phrase "time bomb." 今天的词组是time bomb,出自电影《大空头》,电影讲述导致银行和房地产业损失巨大的一次金融危机。看电影选段,找出词组time bomb。 So what does that mean? Is a "time bomb" A) a bomb that will go off at a set time or B) a kind of clock? Listen again and see if you are correct. 那么,这个词组是什么意思呢?time bomb是指A)在设定好的时间会爆炸的炸弹还是B)某类时钟?再听一遍,看你的理解是否正确。 A "time bomb" is one that explodes on a timer. The movie talks a crisis that will explode, not in actual bomb. A time bomb ticks or makes a clicking sound, building tension. People can be time bombs too. Worry builds up and they can explode by yelling or using bad language. Time bomb意指定时爆炸的炸弹。这部电影讲述了随时可能爆发的危机,并非指真正的定时炸弹,定时炸弹发出嘀嗒或嗒嗒的声响,会营造一种紧张的分为。人也可能是定时炸弹,烦恼堆积,可能通过大喊大叫或者讲脏话来发泄。 And that is English @ the Movies. I'm Ambor. 以上就是今天节目的全部内容,我是Ambor。 |
