Main idea:
The article introduces a huge collection of new movies. You may check out the trailers(預告片) later.Grammatical points to pay special attention to:
p. 30line 8 supervillain大壞蛋、大反派
這個字是由super+villain結合而來的。大家可能忘記了,在Romeo and Juliet裡,
Tybalt在跟Romeo挑釁的時候,就罵他:Thou art a villain!
p. 31
line 1 venture冒險去做...
意思跟risk很接近喔!同時,上一頁第七行以及這一頁的第二行有個adventure這個字,
是名詞,「冒險」的意思。你注意到了嗎?
line 8 father-to-be準爸爸
這個很常見了吧?bride-to-be就是準新娘啦!講到這個,順便講一下另一個常見的- in-laws(姻親)

line 19 rescued by...分詞構句
line 2 find himself on an island populated by 6-inch-tall people
find + O + OC這個句型又出現啦!!!!除了我們在課堂上反覆看過的OC以V-ing(主動)或p.p.(被動)形式呈現以外,
這邊告訴你,也可以用介系詞片語喔!
另外,populated也是省略了which is的分詞修飾。
populate這個字我們是第一次介紹,稍微看一下例句吧!
The town is populated by many immigrants.
=There are many immigrants living in the town.
= Many immigrants live/reside in the town.
我們如果說
The city is highly populated.表示The city has dense population.
line 7 thrust
thrust這個字一樣有不少意思:點進來看看吧!line 14 stutter, stammer都是口吃、結巴的意思。
line 20 star的用法記得嗎?The movie stars Denzel Washington.
Denzel Washinton stars in the movie.
p. 32
line 4 flammable易燃的
flame意思是火焰,例如like a moth to a flame表示「飛蛾撲火」有一首經典老歌叫做Eternal Flame(永恆之火)
然後這個字很妙,inflammable也是易燃的!
line 6 highly populated area前面有說過喔!
line last-place (a.)最後一名的、墊底的
舉一反三,first-place TV program表示第一名的電視節目line 14 respectively個別地、各自地
respect(v.) 尊敬respectful(a.)尊敬的
哈哈!
line 16 on the air/off the air
on (the) air表示廣播或節目播出the可有可無,google的結果是兩種都有人用喔
Trailers:
Megamind (意外發現!Brad Pitt配音!)Tangled (他玩了一個pun: It gets two to tangled! 就是我們以前學過的It gets two to tango!)
Yogi Bear (我一直不太懂這種真人和動畫並存的感覺)
Due Date (我喜歡小勞勃道尼 也喜歡這種瘋狂白癡的電影)
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Gulliver's Travels (格列佛遊記!我愛Jack Black!)
Tron: Legacy (他們身上的是霓虹燈?)
The King's Speech (我愛Colin Firth!天啊!我的愛怎麼突然廉價起來!)
Unstoppable (劇情感覺很簡單)
Morning Glory (浪漫喜劇又一)
How Do You Know (說真的 How do you know you're in love? It's really hard to define.)
I would like to watch “The Chronicles of Narnia”, but I have no time and lack of pocket money...maybe some people consider it childish, but I really love those actors and actresses. The fascinating plot is also the feature luring me. Moreover, since I have no this novel at home, the best and fastest way to understand it is to watch the film in the movie theater!
