Jessica 在北京學(xué)漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是楊琳要問的：海選，甄選。

YL: Jessica! 送你一張我的簽名照！快拿著！

Jessica: Your autograph? why do I want that?

YL: 告訴你，我快成明星啦!

Jessica: Really? You will be a super star? 你被張藝謀看中了？

YL: 不是。我參加“陽光女生”的海選，擊敗了眾多對手......對了，海選你明白么？Sea selection! 誰都能參加! 也有人管它叫甄選。

Jessica: Sea selection? 哦，(chuckle) I see. In English, it's called "an open audition". Everyone can walk in the door, perform and compete, like American Idol.

YL: 沒錯(cuò)，就是那種！原來這叫"open audition," open 開放的，audition, a-u-d-i-t-i-o-n, audition 試演選拔，連在一起，open audition 就是“海選”或是“甄選”。這么說，I am the winner of the open audition!

Jessica: Well, I don't think you can call yourself a "winner", because more than one person get selected in an open audition to advance to the next round.

YL: 也是，這次一共一百人過關(guān)，進(jìn)入下一輪比賽。但不管怎樣，I was selected!

Jessica: Yeah, congratulations! You can also say you made the cut.

YL: 哦，make the cut, 就是被選中，過關(guān)了。哎，那要是被刷下來，該怎么說呢？

Jessica: Then you could say you got eliminated. e-l-i-m-i-n-a-t-e-d, eliminated.

YL: 明白了，eliminate 是淘汰，被淘汰就是 get eliminated.

Jessica: That's right. I sure hope you can make it to the final round and not get eliminated! But first, tell me what you've learned today!

YL: 第一“甄選，海選”在美語里叫"open audition"；

第二，過關(guān)，被選上了，是 make the cut；

第三，被刷下去了，就是 get eliminated.

這次的美語怎么說就到這里。
