Donny 在北京學(xué)漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是吳瓊要問的：竄紅。

Donny: Wuqiong，你看什么雜志呢, and who's the girl on the cover?

WQ: 這是最新一期的時尚周刊。這個女生現(xiàn)在可紅了。你肯定猜不到，她是我高中時的好朋友! 拍了一部電影，一下就竄紅了!

Donny: No kidding! Introduce her to me! 對了，你說她“竄紅”，什么意思??？

WQ: 就是紅得很快，suddenly 她就 famous了!

Donny: I got it. She became famous overnight.

WQ: overnight，我知道，o-v-e-r-n-i-g-h-t, overnight 就是一夜之間。To become famous overnight 就是“一夜成名”!

Donny: That's right. You can also say "she's an instant hit". Instant is spelled i-n-s-t-a-n-t, hit is spelled h-i-t.

WQ: 哦，說一個人火速竄紅還可以用 an instant hit.

Donny: Yeah. In the case of this old friend of yours, you can say "her exceptional performance in the new movie made her an instant hit."

WQ: 對，我這個同學(xué)特別會演戲，電影一出來，她馬上就竄紅了。

Donny: WQ, I just thought of another way to put it---She catapulted to fame with her first movie!

WQ: cata 什么？怎么拼？

Donny: catapult, c-a-t-a-p-u-l-t, catapult, 有“彈弓”的意思，as a verb, it means to launch.

WQ: 我明白了，catapult 是彈弓，所以 catapult to fame， 就是“一炮而紅”! 我這個朋友演了一部電影就紅了，所以說 She catapulted to fame with her first movie.

Donny: That's right! Now, WQ, tell me what you've learned today!

WQ: 第一，to become famous overnight，一夜成名；第二，to be an instant hit, 火速竄紅；第三：to catapult to fame， 就是“一炮而紅”!
