台词精讲:

1.Has Wilhelmina Slater, Mode creative director, got over her humiliation of being passed over for the boss' son?

解析1:creative director意思是创意总监。

解析2:get over意思是恢复,克服。例如:He was disappointed at not getting the job, but he'll get over it. 他因没有得到那份工作而大失所望,不过他能想得开。

解析3:pass over 意思是忽视,忽略,对......不加以考虑的意思。再如:They chose to pass over her rude remarks. 他们对她的粗话不予理会。

解析:Of being passed over for the boss' son中的of和for都意为“因为”“由于”。Her humiliation of being passed over意思是因为遭到被忽视而遭到的羞辱。For the boss' son意思是由于老板的儿子。

2.That's the question on everyone's lips.

这句话的意思是这是每个人都想问的问题。也可以翻译为这是人人都关注的事情。On one's lip意思是在某人嘴边的。

解析1: regime change:政权更选,政权改变 slutty scion:淫荡子孙 parent company:总公司 Meade Publications:米得刊物 new editor in chief:新任主编

解析2:name在句中的意思是提名,任命的意思。When是作为副词,意思是在这时候。

解析1:take over:接管 例如:The firm has been taken over by an American conglomerate. 该公司已被美国一企业集团接管。

解析2:former editor:前任主编 in a car crash:在车祸中,在汽车碰撞事故中

解析3:句中的hot death是指突然离奇的死亡而又遭到很多人的猜疑和关注。
