看《飢餓遊戲》學地道口語:年輕人的愛情
【內容簡介】
北美洲在一場大戰後被摧毀,在美國原來的廢墟上,人們建立了新的家園,但新政權規定:管轄下的12個地區每年都必須進貢少年男女,參加一檔電視直播節目“飢餓遊戲”(Hunger Game)。節目的規則很簡單——殺人或者被殺。凱妮絲Katniss Everdeen(詹妮弗·勞倫斯 Jennifer Lawrence 飾)的妹妹不幸在12區“選擇日”時被選中,由於要保護妹妹,凱妮絲自告奮勇要替妹妹上場 。她不得不與心上人蓋爾Gale Hawthorne(利亞姆·海姆斯沃斯 Liam Hemsworth 飾)分開,跟同時被選爲12區貢品代表的皮塔Peeta Mellark(喬什·哈切森 Josh Hutcherson 飾)進入遊戲……選段中,因爲羣衆們的憤怒抗議,遊戲者不得不修改規則:允許兩名獲勝者,但是條件是必須來自同一區……

【重點詞彙】
1. root for
意爲“支持”。那個一直支持Katniss的設計師對Seneca說道:“如果你不能使羣衆害怕停止暴行的話,就支持他們。”之後,便有了修改遊戲規定的一幕,愛情可以讓羣衆動容。
2. from now on
“From now on”意爲"從現在開始"。終於,遊戲者抵不住羣衆的壓力,改變了規定,可以有兩位勝利者,但是要在一定的條件下。
3. originate from
“從現在開始,兩位貢品將可被加冕,但是前提是必須來自同一地區。” “originate from”意爲“來自”,“起源於”。
4. figure out
“我們會找到辦法的。”當Peeta自責沒有找到降落傘,Katniss安慰他天無絕人之路,總會找到辦法的。本意爲“計算出”,“解決”,“弄明白”,“合計”。
