There'll be just a few trailers.
對(duì)話
Walt: Thank goodness the ads are over. They go on for far too long.
Ingo: Yes, there'll be just a few trailers and then the movie will start.
Walt: I don't mind trailers, at least they're not trying to sell you anything.
Ingo: Of course they are, they're trying to sell you the latest movies.
Walt: Well, I suppose so, but they're a lot more exciting than the ads.
Ingo: If you ask me, they're sometimes a lot more exciting than the movies themselves.
華爾：謝天謝地，廣告終于播放完了。廣告時(shí)間實(shí)在太長。
英戈：沒錯(cuò)，再播幾部預(yù)告片，電影就會(huì)開始。
華爾：我不介意看預(yù)告片；至少預(yù)告片不是要推銷什么東西。
英戈：怎么不是。預(yù)告片就是要推銷最新的電影。
華爾：嗯，也許是吧，但預(yù)告片比廣告好看得多。
英戈：依我看，預(yù)告片有時(shí)比電影本身都好看得多。
電*放映電影前，一般先播廣告，再播電影預(yù)告片。廣告當(dāng)然是advertisement，簡稱為ad或advert；廣告片則可叫做advertising film，例如：The commercial received high praise at the Advertising Film Festival（那部電視廣告片在廣告電影節(jié)中大獲贊賞）。留意電視臺(tái)、廣播電臺(tái)播出的廣告，美式英文叫commercial，英式則叫advertisement或commercial。報(bào)刊廣告則無論英美都叫advertisement，不可叫commercial。國際廣告電影節(jié)包括電視廣告。Some commercials on television are quite interesting即‘有些電視廣告片頗為有趣’。電*放映的電影預(yù)告片，叫trailer或preview，但preview還可以指電影的試映，或稱sneak preview，例如：(1) I was invited to a (sneak) preview of the new movie（我獲邀觀看那部新電影的試映）。(2) Trailers for a few upcoming movies were shown, but they did not appeal to me（電*放映了未來幾部電影的預(yù)告片，但都不能引起我的興趣）。（Sneak有‘偷偷的’、‘非正式的’含義，I despise those who make sneak attacks on others即 ‘我看不起偷偷攻擊別人者’。最后談?wù)動(dòng)⒏暾f的if you ask me。這詞組直譯是‘假如你問我’，常用來帶出自己的意見，等于‘我認(rèn)為’，例如：If you ask me, she is not as carefree as she appears（依我看，她并不是像她表面上那樣無憂無慮的）。
