The A-list is the small top group of famous people — the film stars, singers, and faces that magazines put on the cover and that a party wants in the room. You hear it most about film, TV, and pop music, from newspapers, gossip shows, and people talking about fame. It also sits in front of another noun: an A-list actor, an A-list wedding.
The A-list is是 of famous people名人裡 the small top group最頂端的一小群——the film stars, singers影星、歌手,and和 that magazines put on the cover雜誌會放上封面、and that a party wants in the room派對也想請進場的 faces那些臉孔。You hear it most你最常聽到它 about film, TV, and pop music是在講電影、電視和流行音樂時,from newspapers, gossip shows出自報紙、八卦節目,and people talking about fame和聊名氣的人口中。It also sits它也會放 in front of another noun在另一個名詞前面:an A-list actor A咖演員、an A-list wedding A咖等級的婚禮。
Though actually, nobody prints a real official list. Magazines and talk as if there is one, and everyone argues about who belongs. Below it, people joke about the B-list and the C-list: still known, just not the first names you think of.
Though actually不過其實,nobody沒有人 prints真的印出 a real official list一份正式的名單。Magazines and publicists雜誌和公關 talk as if there is one講得好像真有這份名單,and everyone argues而大家吵的是 about who belongs誰在上面。Below it在它下面,people joke about人們開玩笑說 the B-list and the C-list B咖和C咖:still known還是有名,just not the first names you think of只是不是你第一個想到的名字。
In careful talk it is about fame and pulling power, not about whether someone is kind or even good at the job. Informal in tone; fine in news and gossip, a bit glossy for a school essay.
In careful talk講究一點地說,it is about它講的是 fame and pulling power名氣和號召力,not about whether someone is kind不是講這個人善不善良,or even good at the job甚至也不是講工作做得好不好。Informal in tone語氣口語;in news and gossip用在新聞和八卦 fine沒問題,for a school essay用在學校作文 a bit glossy就有點浮華。
