两年前,小罗伯特·唐尼凭借《钢铁侠》咸鱼翻身,一扫多年半红不紫的颓势,重新回到极具票房号召力的大牌明星行列。今年5月,他将携《钢铁侠2》强势出击,续集能否突破之前的票房纪录尚待证明,不过本片星光熠熠,人气非常,确实值得期待。
小罗伯特·唐尼出身于演艺世家,成名颇早。1993年,他在电影《卓别林》中的出色表现为他带来了奥斯卡最佳男主角的提名。可惜初尝成功的小罗伯特在随后的日子里丑闻缠身,演艺事业遭受重创。2005年开始,在他出演的一系列电影中,如《晚安,好运》、《十二宫》等,他的才华才重新展现于世人面前。因此,《钢铁侠》的成功,才让这个已经步入“四十不惑”阶段的男人如此珍惜吧。
A hoot 有趣的人或事;关心
“When we heard posters were being defaced to promote political or social ideas, we just got such a hoot out of that.”
—Actor Robert Downey Jr. on the widespread success of his movie, Iron Man.
Definition
fun, a good time, amusement; to care
Usage
If you were having a really good time, you might make a noise out of excitement. That noise might sound like hoot! Or, if you’re having a good time, you might stay out late, late enough for owls[猫头鹰] to come out. In English, owls make the noise hoot.
So if something was a lot of fun, you could say it was a hoot. A person can be a hoot too: “Oh my brother? He’s a hoot! He’s always up to something funny.”
Robert Downey Jr. found out that posters for his new movie, Iron Man, were being vandalized[摧残,破坏] for different causes. Since a movie has to be pretty famous for people to do that sort of thing, Downey was amused. He got a hoot out of the damaged posters.
A hoot also means, “to care,” and it’s usually used in the negative and when you’re trying to be mean. If you’re tired and trying to leave work, your boss might say, “I don’t give a hoot how long you’ve been here! You’re not leaving till your work is done!”
Examples
► The party was a hoot! Everyone was there.
这个聚会真的很好玩!所有人都到齐了。
► Look, I don’t give a hoot about your problems. Stop complaining!
听着,我对你的麻烦不感兴趣。不要再抱怨了!
