Jessica在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是怡茹要問的：大片。

　　YR: Jessica, 你今天晚上有空么？Let me treat you to a big movie。

　　JESSICA: 啊？a big movie?

　　YR: 對啊！我想請你看大片兒！就是最近特火的那部好萊塢電影！

　　JESSICA: Oh! You're talking about the Hollywood blockbuster that's been on since yesterday. We use the word "blockbuster" to describe films that have big production, widespread popularity and financial success。

　　YR: 我明白了，大片兒在美語里就是blockbuster. B-l-o-c-k-b-u-s-t-e-r, blockbuster. 就是大制作，大宣傳，票房收益又好的電影。

　　JESSICA: 沒錯！怡茹， why do you want to go watch this blockbuster? 看電影可不便宜！

　　YR: 嗨，輕松輕松唄！再說，There are a lot of movie stars in this blockbuster. It must be a good movie!

　　JESSICA: Well, not all star-studded movies have good stories or acting。

　　YR: 等等，你剛才說star-studded，這是什么意思？

　　JESSICA: Star-studded is spelled s-t-a-r-s-t-u-d-d-e-d. It means a great proportion of the actors in a movie are well-known。

　　YR: 我明白了，star-studded 意思就是眾星云集，明星大薈萃。

　　JESSICA: Yes. For example, you can say, "I want to watch this movie because it has a star-studded cast."

　　YR: I see. 哎，快過春節了，Quite a few star-studded movies are coming out for the holiday season。

　　JESSICA: They are all festive to keep up with the holiday spirit。

　　YR: 賀歲片當然是輕松喜慶啦，誰要在節日看大哭片兒嘛！對了，特別賺人眼淚，讓人感動或者難過的哭片，要怎么說呢？

　　JESSICA: Those movies are called tearjerker. T-e-a-r-j-e-r-k-e-r, tearjerker. A tearjerker is a sentimental movie or performance that intends to move its audience to tears。

　　YR：I don't like tearjerkers─I only watch movies that make me laugh!

　　JESSICA: Good for you! Now let's see what you've learned today!

　　YR: 大片兒是blockbuster； 眾星云集的是 star-studded；催人淚下的哭片則是tearjerker。
