Sexy time当选好莱坞年度最“潮”热词
"Sexy Time" leads Hollywood word list
"High Five!" and "It's Sexy Time!," favorite expressions of the hit comic
character Borat, have topped a list of the top Hollywood phrases of the year.
The Global Language Monitor, a non-profit group that monitors word use, put
those two expressions at the top of its annual list of Hollywood words and
phrases for the impact they made on the English language.
In second place was a Hollywood star trend of giving babies unusual names like
Suri, the name of the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and Shiloh
Nouvel, the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Global Language Monitor head Paul JJ Payack said the trend "opens an entire new
world of possibilities to young parents for either inflicting or bestowing names
upon their children."
Other words and phrases on the list include were "Pursuit" from Will Smith's
film "The Pursuit of Happyness" and the phrase "Nazi Bullets," used by the
grandfather in "Little Miss Sunshine" to explain his crankiness.
One expression from the box office hit "The Queen," for which Helen Mirren won
the best actress Oscar, made the list.
"Will someone please save these people from themselves!," Tony Blair said as he
attempted to heal the rift between Queen Elizabeth and her subjects.
Actress Meryl Streep also made the list after declaring to an unfortunate
associate in "The Devil Wears Prada": "The details of your incompetence do not
interest me."
Last Year, "Brokeback" from "Brokeback Mountain" topped the annual survey.
当红喜剧人物“波拉特”(喜剧《波拉特》主角)常挂在嘴边的两句话High Five!(举手击掌)和 It's Sexy
Time!(性感时间到!)被评为今年好莱坞的最热门表达。
专门负责监测词语用法的非营利组织全球语言检测机构基于这两个表达对英语语言所产生的影响,将其评为今年的好莱坞年度最热门词汇。
位居第二的是好莱坞影星给他们的下一代起“怪名”的趋势,比如,汤姆·克鲁斯和凯蒂·赫尔姆斯给他们女儿起名为"苏芮",安吉利娜·茱丽和布拉德·皮特给女儿起名为夏洛伊·诺维尔。
