老牌 老手 veteran / old hand
「老牌」veteran,同义字就是「老手」(old hand),
反义就是newcomer (新手或初学者)
Over the hill也就是 「上了年纪」
To coast through意思就是「顺利的;或毫不费力的通过」
Screen test就是「试镜」的意思
「老牌」的定义比较接近「资深」的意思,因此「老牌的」或「资深的」,英文就是 veteran, 同义字当然就是「老手」,「老手」的英文要怎么说呢?如果您猜的是old hand,那就恭喜您! 因为「老手」 的英文真的就是 old hand,而这里的hand,涵义比较接近「有本事的人;或能手」的意思。
例 1) The veteran tap dancer has lost his touch because he’s over the hill.
(这位老牌的踢踏舞者因为上了年纪,表现大不如前。)
解释:"tap dance"就是「踢踏舞」,所以 tap dancer就是「踢踏舞者」,然后"lost his touch"或是"lost one’s touch"的意思就是「表现大不如前」,因为如果逐字翻译的话, lost his touch彷佛意味着「失去了当年的风格」一样,因此,lost his touch意思就是「表现大不如前」,”over the hill”也就是「上了年纪」或「超过了人生的颠峰时期」。
例 2) Being an old hand at acting, she coasted through the screen test.
(因为是演戏老手,她顺利的通过了试镜。)
解释:”coast through”意思就是「顺利的;或毫不费力的通过」,因为这里coast的涵义就像是「毫无阻力的滑行」的意思;最后,screen test就是「试镜」的意思。
例 3) He was constantly picked on because he is a newcomer.
(他因为是新手而一直被找麻烦。)
解释:pick on就是「戏弄、找麻烦;或挑剔」的意思,veteran的反义字就是newcomer即为「新来的人」,因此,newcomer就是「新手或初学者」的意思。
