美语怎么说|海选的美语说法

Jessica 在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是杨琳要问的：海选，甄选。

YL: Jessica! 送你一张我的签名照！快拿着！

Jessica: Your autograph? why do I want that?

YL: 告诉你，我快成明星啦!

Jessica: Really? You will be a super star? 你被张艺谋看中了？

YL: 不是。我参加“阳光女生”的海选，击败了众多对手......对了，海选你明白么？Sea selection! 谁都能参加! 也有人管它叫甄选。

Jessica: Sea selection? 哦，(chuckle) I see. In English, it's called "an open audition". Everyone can walk in the door, perform and compete, like American Idol.

YL: 没错，就是那种！原来这叫"open audition," open 开放的，audition, a-u-d-i-t-i-o-n, audition 试演选拔，连在一起，open audition 就是“海选”或是“甄选”。这么说，I am the winner of the open audition!

Jessica: Well, I don't think you can call yourself a "winner", because more than one person get selected in an open audition to advance to the next round.

YL: 也是，这次一共一百人过关，进入下一轮比赛。但不管怎样，I was selected!

Jessica: Yeah, congratulations! You can also say you made the cut.

YL: 哦，make the cut, 就是被选中，过关了。哎，那要是被刷下来，该怎么说呢？

Jessica: Then you could say you got eliminated. e-l-i-m-i-n-a-t-e-d, eliminated.

YL: 明白了，eliminate 是淘汰，被淘汰就是 get eliminated.

Jessica: That's right. I sure hope you can make it to the final round and not get eliminated! But first, tell me what you've learned today!

YL: 第一“甄选，海选”在美语里叫"open audition"；

第二，过关，被选上了，是 make the cut；

第三，被刷下去了，就是 get eliminated.
