OK. Well, you've been looking at this story on the various news websites

好的。好吧，你已經在各種新聞網站上看了這個故事

and you've picked out some really good vocabulary

你已經挑出了一些非常好的詞彙

that can help us talk about it and use it further afield.

這可以幫助我們談論它並在更遠的地方使用它。

Yes. We have 'star-studded', 'looms' and 'upcycled'.

是的。我們有'星光燦爛'、'織布機'和'升級再造'。

明星雲集"、"織布機 "和 "升級再造"。

So, let's have a look now at your first headline please.

那麼，我們現在來看看你的第一個標題吧。

So, our first headline comes from Sky News and it reads:

是以，我們的第一個標題來自天空新聞，內容如下。

'Star-studded' – featuring lots of famous people.

星光熠熠'--以許多名人為主角。

對。所以，這個表達方式是拼寫的。

And in the headline, it's being used as an adjective

而在標題中，它被作為一個形容詞使用

現在，這是一個相當非正式的表達方式

and it means that an event features a lot of famous people.

和它意味著一個活動有很多名人参加。

Yeah. So, the first part of this is pretty obvious:

是的。所以，這其中的第一部分是非常明顯的。

the word 'star'. Obviously, there's the twinkly thing in the sky;

星 "這個詞。很明顯，天空中出現了閃爍的東西。

that's a star, but we obviously use this word to describe famous people.

那是一個明星，但我們顯然用這個詞來描述名人。

The second word is... I'm not quite so clear about, Roy.

第二個詞是......。我不太清楚，羅伊。

I can see 'stud'. I thought that 'stud' was a thing

我可以看到'螺柱'。我以為'螺柱'是一種東西

that sticks out the bottom of a football boot.

What's... what's it got to do with this story?

這......這和這個故事有什麼關係？

but remember that time when you decided to go

through that phase when you were always wearing a leather jacket,

通過那個階段，你總是穿著一件皮夾克。

and that leather jacket had lots of little metal pieces in it, didn't it?

那件皮夾克裡有很多小金屬片，不是嗎？

所以，如果某樣東西是 "釘子"。

it normally has lots of those metal pieces in,

so we call it a 'studded' leather jacket.

所以我們稱它為 "釘子 "皮夾克。

現在，當我們談到 "明星雲集 "的時候。

it normally refers to the night sky as you said.

它通常指的是夜空，正如你所說。

So, we talk about a 'star-studded' night sky;

是以，我們談論的是一個 "星光燦爛 "的夜空。

it means there's lots of stars in the night sky,

like on that leather jacket – lots of 'studs'.

就像那件皮夾克上--很多 "釘子"。

Now, of course, this has been used in the meaning with word...

現在，當然，這已經被用於與單詞的意義......

so we're talking about lots of 'stars' sprinkled all over.

所以我們說的是大量的 "星星 "灑落在各地。

Yeah. And it's used very frequently in, sort of,

是的。而且它在某種程度上被頻繁使用。

the headlines because they are interested in celebrity,

頭條新聞，因為他們對名人感興趣。

we cannot use this formula more widely, so you can't...

我們不能更廣泛地使用這個公式，所以你不能...

you can't describe the BBC as a 'journalist-studded' building.

你不能把BBC說成是一個 "記者雲集 "的建築。

不，這是一個非常固定的表達。

'Star-studded' – it will... it will relate to, like, films

星光燦爛"--它將......它將涉及到，比如，電影

with lots of celebrities or events – something like that.

有很多名人或事件--類似這樣的事情。

Yeah. You wouldn't... you wouldn't say, like, a school is 'teacher-studded'.

是的。你不會......你不會說，比如說，一所學校是 "教師密集型"。

Well, if you would like to hear about a 'star-studded' event,

好吧，如果你想聽到一個 "明星雲集 "的事件。

we have the perfect video for you, don't we, Roy?

我們為你準備了完美的視頻，不是嗎，羅伊？

Yes, this episode of News Review is about the Golden Globes

OK. Let's have a look at the next headline please.

好的。請讓我們看看下一個標題。

OK. So, our next headline comes from France24 and it reads:

好的。那麼，我們的下一個頭條新聞來自法國24臺，內容如下。

是的，所以，這個詞的拼寫是L-O-O-M-S

and it means that something is about to happen or occur.

並意味著某事即將發生或發生。

是的，往往是一些壞事，不是嗎？

Climate change 'looms' – this big, scary thing

氣候變化 "迫在眉睫"--這個大而可怕的東西

This conference, though, isn't really a big, scary thing,

不過，這次會議並不是真正的大驚小怪的事情。

是的，這是一個有點不尋常的用途。

I mean, it may, as you say, refer to the climate change,

我的意思是，它可能如你所說，指的是氣候變化。

but quite often we use it to talk about something that is threatening

但我們經常用它來談論一些具有威脅性的東西。

or, kind of, dangerous coming towards you.

或者，有點，危險的向你走來。

It's making you feel unsettled, a little bit.

So, for example, the other day I asked you if you wanted to go to lunch,

所以，比如說，有一天我問你是否想去吃午飯。

but you told me you didn't want to. Do you remember this?

但你告訴我你不想這樣做。你還記得這個嗎？

Yeah. That was right. I had a... I had a deadline 'looming'.

是的。那是對的。我有一個...我有一個最後期限 "迫在眉睫"。

So, deadlines – they're full of pressure, they can be quite difficult

是以，最後期限--它們充滿了壓力，它們可能相當困難

and we talk about it 'looming'. It's almost like this presence is there.

我們談論它 "隱約可見"。這幾乎就像這種存在是存在的。

This entity is 'looming' and notice the preposition.

這個實體是 "隱約可見"，注意這個介詞。

But we don't only use it for situations or things like this;

但我們並不只在這種情況下或像這樣的事情上使用它。
