1. 1

    Hollywood is a part of Los Angeles, in California, in the United States. Film studios grew there, so the name jumped from the place to the business. When people say “Hollywood,” they often mean the American film world as a whole — the stars, the big movies, the awards — not only those few streets. You might say someone “went to Hollywood” to become an actor, or that a film has a “Hollywood ending,” where everything turns out happy.

    Hollywood好萊塢 is是 in the United States美國 in California加州 Los Angeles洛杉磯 a part of的一區。Film studios電影製片廠 grew there在那裡發展起來,so所以 the name這個名字 from the place從地方 jumped跳到 to the business這個行業上。When people say當人們說 “Hollywood,”「好萊塢」時,they他們 often常常 mean指的是 as a whole整個 the American film world美國電影圈——the stars明星、the big movies大片、the awards獎項——not only不只是 those few streets那幾條街。You你 might say可能會說 someone某人 to become an actor為了當演員 “went to Hollywood”「去了好萊塢」,or或說 a film一部電影 has有 a “Hollywood ending,”一個「好萊塢結局」,where everything turns out happy一切最後都圓滿

    The neighbourhood was named by a land seller, H. J. Whitley, from holly + wood: holly trees and a wood.

    The neighbourhood這個社區 by a land seller, H. J. Whitley是由一位賣地的商人 H. J. Whitley was named命名的,from holly + wood來自 holly + wood:holly trees冬青樹 and a wood加一片樹林

    Later the word also picked up a looser, darker use: a rich, shiny world that can feel fake or badly behaved. Though actually, a lot of filming now happens far from that one neighbourhood. The name still stands for the industry.

    Later後來 the word這個詞 also picked up還多了 a looser, darker use一個更鬆、更暗的用法:a rich, shiny world一個有錢、光鮮的世界,that can feel fake讓人覺得假 or badly behaved或行為不檢。Though actually不過其實,a lot of filming很多拍片工作 now現在 far from that one neighbourhood在離那個社區很遠的地方 happens進行。The name這個名字 still仍然 stands for代表 the industry這個產業

Hollywoodname/ˈhɒ.li.wʊd/

  • 1

    A neighbourhood of Los Angeles, California, known as the center of the American motion picture industry.

    • An automobile leaving Los Angeles and going westward over the splendid boulevard called "Sunset"—one of the main arteries of travel in the southwest—and a little northerly, will soon arrive at the sea-coast, or, in other words, at the beach resorts of Los Angeles. The district passed over in going to these beaches has been named Hollywood. It is a part of Los Angeles. The community, grown like a mushroom, now holds one hundred thousand souls, ten thousand of which are directly interested in the motion picture business. The main thoroughfare in Hollywood is called Hollywood Boulevard. It is a comparatively short street, branching off from Sunset Boulevard and running thereafter two blocks from Sunset and parallel to it. At the intersection of Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards still stands, though it is about to be obliterated owing to a recent fire, a wooden building, not large and not spacious, labelled with the title, Chester A. Bennett Studios,—a building that has some history attached to it, since it was originally the home of David Wark Griffith's activities, among the earliest in recent Hollywood history.
