“出場費(fèi)”怎么說 [ 2007-02-02 09:13 ]
隨著在“美國小姐”比賽中奪冠,百老匯明日之星勞倫·尼爾森今后參加活動(dòng)的出場費(fèi)也將水漲船高。據(jù)報(bào)道,剛剛評選出的“美國小姐”勞倫·尼爾森除了將獲得5萬美元獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金外,預(yù)計(jì)將在2007年獲得超過10萬美元的出場費(fèi)。
請看外電相關(guān)報(bào)道:Lauren Nelson, an aspiring Broadway star, was crowned Miss America
on Monday night.
Nelson, 20, of Lawton, Okla., is a student at the University of Central
Oklahoma and wants to get her master's degree in musical theater. She gets a
$50,000 scholarship with the crown and stands to make thousands more in
appearance fees.
報(bào)道中的“appearance fee”指的就是“出場費(fèi)”?!癆ppearance”表示“出場、露面”時(shí),常和動(dòng)詞make搭配,如:to make
one's first appearance in public(首次公開露面)。
此外,“appearance”也可表示“體面、門面”,如:for appearances' sake(為了保持體面)、to keep up
appearances(保持體面)。
看個(gè)例子:He earned enormous sums of money and got an appearance fee of £100 for a
single appearance. (他掙了很多錢,一次出場費(fèi)就高達(dá)100英鎊。)
