咬文嚼字

语法透视：

Text:I'm gonna need you into two lines. Boys in one, girls in the other, starting with the tallest to the shortest and remember who you're paired with.

解析：句中的starting with the tallest to the shortest and remember who you're paired with是现在分词短语做方式状语。在句中说明了如何将要参加考试的学生分为两行。

咬文嚼字：

Text:Following pointe auditions, we'll continue with adagio, then we'll pair you for the pas de deux.

解析：句中的following是介词，意思是在......以后。再如：demonstrations following the murder of the union leader，这个短语的意思是“继工会领袖遭谋杀後引发的示威游行”。

Text:At best, I can take six girls and six boys.

解析：句中的take是接纳，接受的意思。在这个句子中更准确的说就是“录取”。

Text:We have very limited space for a very limited number of students.

解析：表示......的空间，space后面接的介词是for，不要用为of，即：have space for sth。

Text:Please welcome one of our esteemed judges and instructors.

解析：Esteemed是动词esteem的过去分词作前置定语修饰名词judges and instructors.

Text:Hey, we're creating artists, not robots.

解析：create在此句中是“产生”的意思，在本台词中更为准确的意思是“培养出”“缔造出”的意思。

Text:And besides, I'm here to bring some life back in this place. Remember?

解析:Life在此句话中是“活力”“生机”的意思。
