*新聞標題

The Artist triumphs at the Oscars

 

*標題解說

artist:藝術家(名詞)在此為電影片名「The Artist

(指的是電影的主角,默片演員)

triumph:獲得勝利,贏了(動詞)

triumphs 加了「s」因爲主詞是電影「The Artist」屬第三人稱單數

at the Oscars:在奧斯卡頒獎典禮

也就是:at the Academy Awards ceremony(學院獎)

(注意 at the Oscars 有「s」結尾,因爲獎項awards很多)

Oscar 是金像的名稱【註1

 

*內文解析

無聲電影「大藝術家」在奧斯卡典禮上風光獲勝,贏得五個獎項,其中包括最佳影片,最佳導演和 Jean Dujardin(尚杜賈丹)贏得最佳男主角獎。

Silent movie The Artist has triumphed at the Oscars, winning five awards including best picture, best director and best actor for Jean Dujardin.

 

簡化來看:

X has triumphed at the Oscars, winning Y

has triumphed 現在完成式

winning 分詞構句,說明得獎的内容(five awards including A,B, and C

silent movie:默片(名詞)

win something:贏得某物(動詞)win five awards 贏得五項獎項

best actor:最佳男主角(最佳女主角為:best actress

 

導演Michel Hazanavicius – 生平第一次被提名就得獎 - 感謝在電影中出現的狗,Uggie,但他補充說:「我不認為他在乎。」

Director Michel Hazanavicius - winning on his first ever nomination - thanked the dog, Uggie, who appears in the film but added: "I don't think he cares."


簡化看:Director X thanked the dog, but added : “I don’t think he cares.”

破折號和逗號隔開的說明内容都可以先不看

thanked added 都用過去式因爲已經發生了

thank:謝謝(動詞)thanked(過去式)

thanked the dog 感謝狗

nomination:提名(名詞)

He has his first ever nomination. 生平第一次提名

first ever:從來没有過的(形容詞)

        http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/dictionary/first+ever

never having happened or been experienced before

his first-ever visit to London

the first-ever woman vice-president

 

Dujardin(杜賈丹)提到他(電影裏)的角色說:「如果喬治瓦倫丁會說話,他會說『哇!勝利!偉大!感謝!』。」

Dujardin said of his character: "If George Valentin could speak, he would say 'Wow! Victorie! Genial! Merci!'"


George Valentin:是電影「The Artist」男主角的名字

character:角色(名詞)

默片演員不開口,如果開口説話,他會說:「Victorie! Genial! Merci!

這幾個字都是法文,因爲杜賈丹是法國人

 

該片還贏得了奧斯卡最佳原創配樂和最佳服裝獎。

The film also won the Oscars for best original score and best costumes.


film(英國用法)= movie(美式用法)

the Oscars = the Oscar awards

the Oscar for 某种獎項:奧斯卡的某种獎項,

如:the Oscar for best original score 奧斯卡最佳原創配樂

score:在此不是分數,是電影配樂(名詞)
