評價一部電影時,我們經(jīng)常會用到“叫好”,“叫座”這兩個詞匯。從字面意思來看,“叫好”比較好理解,即對于精彩的事物大聲喊“好”(shout ”bravo”),表示“applaud,praise”。那么“叫座”的含義呢?
“叫座”,是指戲劇或演員對觀眾很有吸引力(be a hit with audience, appeal to the audience),能夠吸引大批觀眾(draw a large audience),使節(jié)目的上座率(occupancy rate)很高,即票房(box office)很高的意思。
例句:
這部電影很叫座。
The film draws well.
那部電影不叫座。
That movie does badly at the box office.
