makesuchabigsplash.周五，期待已久的科幻大片《阿凡达2》终于要登上大荧幕了。首部《阿凡达》于2009年上映，其导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆（JamesCameron）成绩亮眼。《阿凡达1》是全球影史票房冠军；卡梅隆执导另一部作品《泰坦尼克号》票房排名第三。但《阿凡达：水之道》可能很难有什么大的水花。划重点blockbuster【重点表达】n.轰动一时的书籍（电影）gross【重点表达】v.获得…的总利润（毛利，税前收入），Themoviehasalreadygrossedover$10million.这部电影票房总收入已经超过一千万美元。makeasplash【固定搭配】溅起碎花，惹人注目，引起轰动。这里的splash和该部电影的water呼应了一下。ThesequelcontinuestheadventuresofJakeSully(playedbySamWorthington),anAmericanMarinewhosemindhasbeen

forthehardship.Tobe

hammeredontheanvil

oflife.hardship是“艰苦”，becomeamarineforthehardship指为了那种艰苦才加入的海军陆战队，正好理解为我们常说的“想锻炼自己”。to

behammeredontheanviloflife就是把自己想象成铁器“被放到人生的砧板上锤炼”，也是锻炼自己。这两个表达都很适合用来描述一段艰苦但有收获的经历。SheknewIwastalkingtotheColonel,butIhadwhatsheneeded...soshe's

playingnice.playnice，是假装，或表现出nice，以达到某种特定的目的。play这个用法很实用，很多我们熟悉的汉语说法可以这么表达：playdeaf/playdumb装聋作哑、playdead装死，或者稍微变一下有playsafe以安全为上、playdirty玩儿阴的、playrough玩儿狠的等等。加名词也可以：playthegoodguy当好人、唱红脸、playthepeacemake当和事佬，可谓非常好用。Youareburningwaytoohard.Totakesomedowntime.Trustme,Ilearnedthehardway.这里地道表达三处：burntoohard、takesomedowntime、learnthehardway。burntoohard更常见的说法是burnoneselfout，“把自己累垮”的意思；downtime指“休息时间”词典上有这个词——劝人别太拼时它俩可以一起用：Don'tburnyourselfout.Takesomedowntime.learn/findoutthehardway也是超常见的习语，指犯了错，尝到苦头才学会某件事情。年轻人务必避免熬夜，远离奶茶——Ifyouwon'tlisten,you'llhavetolearnthehardway.Ineedtogiveyoua

heads-up.heads-up是“提醒、警告”，看多了剧的盆友一定很熟悉这个表达。比如一个球冲你飞过来，别人会喊“Heads-up!”，想象抬头注意有危险这个
