   平时看到哪部影片大牌云集,我们常说这是票房的保证,但可不是所有明星都能带来这么好的运气,比如豪门艳女帕丽斯?希尔顿就常成为“票房毒药”。


  请看相关报道:
  The producers of movie 'Pledge This!' told a court in 2008 she owed them $8.3million - the amount it cost to make the box office flop 1 - because she didn't promote it properly.
  电影《风云才女》的制片人在2008年将希尔顿起诉致法院,称她没有恰当宣传这部影片,因此欠剧组830万美元,而这恰好是这部“票房毒药”影片的制作经费。
  文中的box office flop就是指“票房毒药”,也可以用box office bomb来表示,box office也就是影片的“票房”。在影片集中上映的档期,各部影片常展开box office battle(票房大战)。Flop在这里形象形容出了“砸锅,完全失败”,因此影片上映前,制片人和出资人因为害怕影片或剧目可能失败而产生flop sweat(焦虑不安)。
  平时图省事,很多人喜欢穿flip 2-flop(人字拖),跳水的时候如果出现belly flop(肚子先着水的笨拙动作),那可让周围人看笑话了。在美国俚语中,catch you on the flip flop是“再见”时的用语,家里的狗狗耳朵下垂,就可以说是flop-eared。

n.失败(者),扑通一声;vi.笨重地行动,沉重地落下
  • The fish gave a flop and landed back in the water.鱼扑通一声又跳回水里。
  • The marketing campaign was a flop.The product didn't sell.市场宣传彻底失败,产品卖不出去。
vt.快速翻动;轻抛;轻拍;n.轻抛;adj.轻浮的
  • I had a quick flip through the book and it looked very interesting.我很快翻阅了一下那本书,看来似乎很有趣。
  • Let's flip a coin to see who pays the bill.咱们来抛硬币决定谁付钱。
