请看《中国日报》的报道:
Schwarzenegger back in Hollywood saddle
施瓦辛格重返好莱坞
Two months after putting his Hollywood return on hold following a damaging sex scandal, Arnold Schwarzenegger is ready toget back into the saddle.
因为性丑闻造成负面影响,施瓦辛格重返好莱坞的计划已经搁置了两个月,但阿诺德•施瓦辛格目前已准备好重回好莱坞走马上任。
文中的get back into the saddle就是指施瓦辛格“重返好莱坞。Saddle的原意是指马鞍,in the saddle除了表示骑马,还可以引申为“担任领导职务;掌权;在位,例如:It's good to have an experienced man in the saddle again.(又有一位经验丰富的人掌权。)这里用get back into the saddle表示施瓦辛格重返好莱坞,暗指他将再次大出风头。
Sex scandal就是指“性丑闻,这里是说施瓦辛格与女管家发生extramarital affair(婚外情),并育有illegitimate child/love child(私生子)一事。此外,之前一些明星曝光的sex picture(艳照)、sexual assault(性侵犯)、sexual abuse(性虐待)等事件都属于sex scandal一类。
