*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 和 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

‧ score:在此不是分數,是電影配樂(名詞)
