电视剧or电影是雅思口语考试中的重要话题,也是“长跑冠军”,几乎每一季的题库里都或多或少会涉及这个话题的内容。今天我们就一起看一下如何高级地描述电视剧和电影吧。 大多数时候我们会不确定电视剧或者电影的类型,可以用一些模糊的表达进行修饰。比如,有时候觉得一部片子很有笑点,像是 comedy,但又不太确定,那就可以用一些“大概”、“感觉”、“像是”这样的表达来修饰这个简单句,那口语中怎么表达这种模糊的说法呢?我们可以参考下面的例句:
I feel like it’s probably more of like a comedy.
feel like 是第一次层模糊表达,表示“感觉”;probably是第二层模糊表达,表示“可能”;more of like 是第三层模糊表达,表示“像是”,是很口语化的说法,大家可以收下这几个表达,套用到其他的句子当中。
小试牛刀:
无欲无求版:it is an action movie.高级口语版:I feel like it’s probably more of like an action movie.第二版就非常具有交流性啦~或者我们也可以用否定句来描述:It seemed like it wasn’t like serious or dramatic. (这里也不要忘了模糊概念的表达哦。seem like表示“似乎”,like表示“像……”。)关于描述电视剧或者电影的形容词可以参考这些哦!
weird-奇怪的、诡异的
light and mystical-轻快又神秘的
relaxing-轻松的
childish-少儿的、幼稚的
successful-成功的
epic type-史诗般的剧
western-y-有点西洋范儿
(+y结尾是口语的表达,一般表示具有原有单词性质的样子。)
suspense/drama-悬疑的/戏剧性的
aggressive manly-激进的男子气概的 (铿锵有力的)
总之,大家选择自己熟悉的形容词,保证流利度就可以啦。
除了前面的描述之外,我们评价影片、电视剧的时候也不用怕词穷了!快去楼下涨姿势~
没预料到某部片子的影迷如此之多?
I didn’t know it had such a big fandom. (饭圈)
没预料到剧情之跌宕起伏?
It took a drastically different turn than I thought it was going.
没预料到某部影片对大众的影响之深远?
It’s been influencing so many people with (like) the way they dress (服饰), their makeup (妆容), everybody’s been talking about all of the actors and the characters from it, so this movie was all the rage. (风靡一时)
没预料到某部影片的主题曲炒鸡好听?
I don’t know how they did it with the theme song (主题曲), but like this song, as a whole, is its own pop culture icon outside the movie itself even. (甚至比电影本身更具有代表意义)
这么好听,当然不会跳过片头曲对不对?
Sometimes I don’t even skip the intro, ’cuz (口语中because一般会发 ’cuz) it’s just cool.
那然后,考官又会问一些与电影电视有关的社会现象了,怎么办?!不慌~看看这些高大上的表达,拿去用!!!
面对流媒体平台上海量的资源,人们越来越愿意回归初心,选择自己喜爱的资源。
I guess when people find themselves with so much variety on those streaming platforms, they always just go back to the one movie/TV series they really enjoy.
学生党,从高中到大学是一个过渡,各种各样的电视剧和电影扑面而来,追剧这件事就越来越难坚持了。
When you were in high school, it was so much easier, ’cuz all you did was just go to high school, come back, look forward to your show every Saturday or whatever, but like once you’re in college, things just catch up with you and it’s hard to watch shows now, especially when it’s like episode by episode.
年轻人越来越倾向于选择有内涵的剧和影片。
Younger people are now wanting (口语中偶尔可以用wanting,大家不要拿到写作中用哦!) shows that have a lot more substance and that really make you think, and I feel like that’s a good thing. We are headed in a good direction.
好了,童鞋们,本期话题专辑就到这里。大家最近在看什么剧呢?可以留言分享一下,试试能不能用上今天的这些表达呢?
