Donny 在北京學(xué)漢語(yǔ)，他的中國(guó)朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)的詞，就會(huì)來(lái)請(qǐng)教他。今天吳瓊是要問的：人氣。

Donny: Hi, Wuqiong, do you want to go to this concert with me?

WQ: 演唱會(huì)？讓我看看是哪個(gè)歌星開的。哇! 這個(gè)人現(xiàn)在是人氣天王! 我當(dāng)然愿意跟你去啦。哎？人氣在英文里怎么說(shuō)？

Donny: 人氣就是受歡迎的程度。So you can use the word "popularity", p-o-p-u-l-a-r-i-t-y, popularity.

WQ: popularity 就是人氣。這個(gè)詞就是 popular 的名詞形式嘛。

Donny: Exactly. I've heard about this singer's rising popularity. That's why I want to go to his concert.

WQ: 演唱會(huì)的表演嘉賓，guest stars，都有誰(shuí)？

Donny: Well, here's the guest star list. Most of them are popular too, but who's this person on the bottom of the list? 我怎么沒聽說(shuō)過。

WQ: 讓我看看，讓我看看。哦，這個(gè)女明星幾年前很紅，可后來(lái)過氣了。

Donny: No wonder I've never heard about her. She's a has-been. The word "has-been" means someone who is no longer popular.

WQ: has-been? has 和 been放一起就是過氣的人，過時(shí)的東西。This guest star used to be famous and popular, but now she's just a has-been.

Donny: 對(duì)。

WQ:這么說(shuō)，她可能想借著當(dāng)嘉賓的機(jī)會(huì)重新走紅嘍？

Donny: That's possible. This concert will be a good opportunity for her to stage a comeback.

WQ: comeback, c-o-m-e-b-a-c-k, comeback 就是東山再起，咸魚翻身的意思吧？If this singer makes a comeback, she will regain her popularity!

Donny: Exactly. Now let's see what you've learned today!

WQ: 第一：人氣叫 popularity; 第二：過氣、過時(shí)的人或物是 a has-been; 第三：東山再起是 a comeback.
