今年美国VMA 1. Twerk
根据词典,这个词的意思是The rhythmic gyrating of the lower fleshy extremities in a lascivious manner with the intent to elicit sexual arousal or laughter in ones intended audience,即伴随节奏猥亵的旋转臀部以引起性唤起或喜剧效果。Twerk it out 就是说某某人做了twerk这个动作。
2. Psy twerked it out in his new music video.
一般情况下twerk这个动作更多是女性对男性做出的,但红遍全球的韩国歌手Psy在他的单曲《Gentleman》里也做了类似的舞蹈动作,但是去掉了猥亵的成分。
3. The MTV Video Music Awards has long been known as TV’s strangest awards show and Miley Cyrus lived up to that reputation with a provocative performance that involved twerking.
MTV颁奖礼一直以怪异而闻名,这次Miley的表演完全符合这种口碑,她的表演视频被疯传,provocative这个词的意思是煽动性的,挑逗的。
4. The most talked-about moment came when Cyrus bent down in front of Thicke and gave him the mother of all twerks.
最被大众拿来当谈资的就是就是Miley弯腰下来后的twerks,这个句子里gave him the mother of all twerks是夸张的说法,形容那种完全的,痛快的,酣畅淋漓的状态,在这里自然是说Miley的twerk做的很到位了。
5. Gaga went on to admit that Cyrus' performance was "polarizing" -- "but that's it," she said.
今年VMA开场嘉宾Lady Gaga表达了自己的观点,polarizing,本身是极化的意思,在这里可以直接 6. Miley had most Twitter mentions last night.
在中国,比如去年好声音播出的时候微博会被刷屏,在美国刷屏twitter的自然也是重大谈资,这次是Miley的表演。
7. Many memes and gifs started to circulate showing the reaction of audience members to Cyrus’ performance.
这次表演后很多人做了一些图片或动图来表现当时大家看到表演后吃惊的样子,gif就是动图的意思,几秒钟,但是含的信息却比一张图片来的多的多,非常像短视频。
纯粹从舞蹈的角度来说,这个动作其实难度不是很大,关键是要放得下身段,放开去跳,去掉猥亵的部分,其实这是一段非常好玩的大家可以一起挑的舞,twerk it!
