Photobomb 搶鏡頭

Feifei

大家好，歡迎收聽(tīng)BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。

Sian

…and I'm, Sian. Hello! How was your weekend Feifei?

Feifei

It was awesome! I went to that film première – 去參加首映式真好，你看，我在紅毯上拍的照片，怎么樣，美吧?

Sian

Oh wow! He's even got his arm around you!

Feifei

I know – exciting, huh? I'm going to get this picture printed out and put on my wall!

Sian

Ha ha oh dear – have you seen this guy behind you making a funny face? Look here on the left.

Feifei

Where? Let me see! Oh no, I didn't notice him. 這個(gè)人也太過(guò)分了，真是的!He's totally ruined it.

Sian

You know we have a word for that? When an unexpected person appears in a photo as it's being taken?

Feifei

Yes – it's called a photobomb or you can photobomb someone. Let's hear some examples.

Examples

Oh no! This wedding photo has been totally ruined by a photobomber! Look at it.

This photo of my girlfriend and me would have been really nice, but my sister photobombed it!

Feifei

在現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)里，我們可以用單詞 photobomb“照片炸彈”來(lái)特指當(dāng)你按下快門拍照的那一刻，突然有人或物出現(xiàn)在了你的照片中。做動(dòng)詞使用可以說(shuō) to photobomb someone。不過(guò)我覺(jué)得這種毀了別人的照片的行為還是不太好吧。Do you think people photobomb as a kind of practical joke?

Sian

Often yes, but not always, photobombing can also be done by accident, in fact even animals can photobomb! Let’s hear another example.

Example

Look at this hilarious website showing pictures of animals photobombing. I think the goat one is the funniest!

Sian

You know Feifei, I don't think it's ruined your photo – it's actually really funny. Look here at my photo, I was photobombed once too.

Feifei

That's a nice picture. Oh hang on, is that the Queen in the background?

Sian

Yes, I was photobombed by the Queen of England!

Feifei

Well that photobomb has improved your photo – I don't think it's the same for mine though. I'm going to find a way to get rid of him from my perfect photo. Bye!

Sian

Good luck. Bye!
