Look-in: 成功的機(jī)會(huì)
[ 2006-05-18 09:08 ]
對(duì)于今年的戛納電影節(jié),輿論的一致聲音是:亞洲電影呈現(xiàn)出“疲軟”狀態(tài),參加本屆戛納影展的亞洲影片寥寥無(wú)幾,入圍競(jìng)賽單元的亞洲影片只有中國(guó)第六代導(dǎo)演婁燁執(zhí)導(dǎo)的《頤和園》。然而,戛納電影節(jié)藝術(shù)總監(jiān)泰瑞·法穆卻持另一種觀點(diǎn),他認(rèn)為,與早年相比,亞洲影片其實(shí)已逐漸受到戛納的重視和青睞。
請(qǐng)看外電相關(guān)報(bào)道:The 12-day festival has undergone a big change in its character over time. In contrast to the first three decades when Cannes used to showcase Hollywood and Europe, the Asian Cinema in recent years has began to get noticed. And now it is getting more than alook-in.
如果仔細(xì)閱讀整段話并能夠聯(lián)系前后句,您會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),報(bào)道中的look-in實(shí)質(zhì)上與前一句的get noticed(受到關(guān)注)意思相近,其暗含意是“獲獎(jiǎng)的幾率(很大)”。
廣義而言,Look-in的英文釋義是a chance of participation(參與的機(jī)會(huì)),例如:Jim talks so much that all the others barely get a look-in.(吉姆老是喋喋不休,別人幾乎沒(méi)有插嘴的機(jī)會(huì)。)
確切一點(diǎn),look-in除表示“參與的機(jī)會(huì)”,也可以單指“成功的機(jī)會(huì)”或“受到關(guān)注”。
另外,頗值得一提的是詞組more than,在這里相當(dāng)于over(超過(guò),超越),如那首廣為流傳的(I love you)more than I can say“超越語(yǔ)言所能表達(dá)的”其實(shí)就是“愛(ài)你在內(nèi)心深處”,所以翻譯為“愛(ài)你在心口難開(kāi)”。由此,“And now it is getting more than a look-in”也可翻譯為“目前,亞洲影片在戛納絕不僅僅是受到關(guān)注,它獲獎(jiǎng)的幾率很大。”
