  没有,不过今晚我要去祖一部来看看

  A:I'll give it 2 thumbs up.

  我给它打满分

  D: Well, yeah! Hey Allan I have to run, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

  解释{1}作为名词,star表示星星,电影明星用英语讲就是movie star.作为动词时它表示演电影,类似的说法还有who played the role?{2}genre,这是一个法语词,在国外,人们用它来表示电影类型,当然我们也可以用type,可是,入乡随俗。让自己听起来更地道。通常的电影类型包括sci-fi科幻,romance,爱情片action,动作片,horror恐怖片, drama,情感片chick flick4浪漫喜剧片, indie独立制作片和blue movies黄色电影等{3}movie buff表示影迷,也可以说成movie fan{4}在西方,碟片很贵,难怪老外们通常都会租片子看{5}2 thumbs up表示电影很棒,如果不好的话,就说2 thumbs down.
