抢风头用英语怎么说？ -凯发k8ag旗舰厅真人平台

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。今天是怡茹要问的：抢风头。

yr: hey jessica!! 你听说那个大新闻了么?

jessica: what? what happened?

yr: 就是上礼拜话剧社的演出啊! anna完全不顾原来话剧的剧本，使劲抢戏，女主角的风头全被她抢去了! 听说她们俩在后台因此大吵了一架! 对了，这个“抢风头”用美语要怎么说啊?

jessica: hmm...抢风头就是“steal someone's thunder". steal is spelled s-t-e-a-l; and thunder, t-h-u-n-d-e-r, thunder. basically, steal someone's thunder means to do something that takes attention away from what someone else has done.

yr: 没错! anna 把本来属於女主角的戏份都抢去了，she totally stole her thunder! 现在学校里人人都在说这事儿。

jessica: ha! i think anna is getting her 15 minutes of fame here!

yr: 15 minutes of fame? 出名15分钟?.....这是什么意思?

jessica: 15 minutes of fame means that she's only famous for a very short period of time.

yr: 哦...我明白了，这也就是短暂出名的意思吧! 就像上回电视真人秀单身女郎里的女主角，那会儿人人都在谈论她，现在节目结束了，她也就销声匿迹了。

jessica: yep! reality shows definitely give a lot of people a chance to enjoy their 15 minutes of fame!

yr: 嗯，没错! 听说anna原来都没被选进剧本，可后来她就一直巴结男主角andy，这么才慢慢得到角色的!

jessica: hmm. sounds like she's riding on andy's coattails! coattail is spelled c-o-a-t-t-a-i-l, coattail. to ride on someone's coattails means to use someone else's success to get ahead.

yr: 哦，就是趋炎附势的意思喽! so, anna would not get a role in the drama without riding on the leading man's coattails! 这么说对吗?

jessica: exactly! now tell me what you've learned today!

yr: 第一：抢风头是steal someone's thunder.

第二，短暂出名可以说15 minutes of fame ;

第三：趋颜附势叫ride on someone's coattails!
