这是 一直夫妇 的第 931 篇文章

如果能走进一部短剧，你想演谁？是高高在上的王子、公主，绝地翻盘的末流弟子，还是机关算尽、最后败下阵来的反派？去横店吧，统统满足你。

早在几年前，横店就推出了游客过戏瘾的拍摄体验项目，但需要多人组团，而现在你自己一个人也可以买到这种体验。专业团队负责服装、化妆和拍摄，导演现场指导台词与动作，游客只需挑好剧本，就能站到镜头前，演一回别人的人生。几天后，一部由你自己主演的短剧诞生了。本来对横店没想法的，但现在我打算把它纳入旅游目的地中。

01

At China’s largest film and television production base, veteran director Zheng Zhongfu was taking his two leads through a confrontation between a prince and his wronged wife.

1️⃣ take sb through sth

虽然 take 和 through 都是我们熟悉的单词，但凑在一起是什么意思仍需要我们好好想想。take sb through sth 表示「带某人逐步了解某事」。其中，take 有「带领」的意思，through 表示「从头到尾经过」，合起来就像带着某人走完整个过程。was taking his two leads through a confrontation between a prince and his wronged wife 是说导演「正在指导两位主演排演一场王爷与受伤害妻子之间的对峙戏」。

I'll take you through it one more time, then you can try it yourself.

我会再给你解释一遍，然后你自己试试。

02

“In my previous life, you gouged out my heart and left me to die in the wilderness,” he recited, showing them how to deliver the line and where to look. “In this life, I will take back everything that belongs to me.”

2️⃣ gouge out/ɡaʊdʒ/

gouge 表示 to make a deep hole or cut in the surface of something「凿洞」这个动作。 如果你家小狗在客厅里 gouge a hole「凿了一个洞」，那它今天要挨训了。

短语 gouge out 跟这个动词的含义紧密相连，表示「掘出，挖出」。原文 gouged out my heart 意思是「剜出我的心」，这男主丧尽天良啊！

30,000 tonnes of slate are gouged out of the mountains every week.

山上每个星期都开采出 30,000 吨的板石。

03

“The emotion has to land … your gaze has to focus,” he reminded them. “Whatever you do, don’t laugh. Let’s go again.”

Qi, 48, and his wife were tourists at Hengdian World Studios in eastern China’s Zhejiang province, where visitors can pay 388 yuan ($60) per person to star in a short drama of their own. Qi had booked the shoot on a whim after spotting the experience on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok.

3️⃣ on a whim

我们在讲 whimsical 时提到了这个短语，表示「一时兴起」，其中 whim 是名词，指 a sudden wish, desire, decision, etc.「一时的兴致，突然的念头」。外刊经常用到它，所以大家要知道，来看《经济学人》。

In the digital world, the laws of physics can be suspended on a programmer’s whim.

在数字世界中，程序员一时兴起，就能让各种物理法则失效。

04

The package includes costumes, makeup, and filming, with studio performers filling the supporting roles. Visitors spend about an hour in makeup and on set, sometimes longer if they add scenes or need additional coaching. Two days later, they receive a finished two-minute drama with a complete storyline.

4️⃣ on set

熟词生义

on set 是影视行业常用的短语，表示「在片场，在拍摄现场」。这里的 set 不再是动词，而是名词，指 a place where a film or television programme is filmed，即电影、电视节目的「片场，拍摄场地」。注意咯，这个表达没有冠词。仍旧是一个《经济学人》的例句。

HBO cancelled its racing drama, “Luck”, after three horses died on set (poor ratings may have been another factor; one critic quipped that the animals may have died of boredom).

三匹马死在片场后，HBO 中途砍掉了其赛马题材剧集《幸运》（收视率不佳可能是另一个因素；一位剧评人打趣说它们可能是被无聊的剧情闷死的）。

05

Qi chose a palace intrigue script in which he plays a prince who wants to divorce his wife for another woman. His real-life wife plays the wronged spouse, who turns the tables on him with an emperor’s order and a sword.

5️⃣ turn the tables on sb

字面意思是「把桌子转过来对着某人」？这里的 tables 指棋盘、棋类游戏。所以字面意思是把双方对弈的棋盘转过来，这会怎样？两个人的位置和局势对调：原本对方占优势，现在变成你占优势。因此 turn the tables on sb 引申为「转败为胜」，或者我们可译为「扭转局面，反将某人一军」。

The tables were turned in the second half, when Leeds United scored from the penalty spot.

利兹联队因罚点球得分，下半场局势扭转了。
