A premiere is the first timepremiere是第一次 a film, play, or piece of music is shown to the public電影、戲劇或音樂作品公開發表的時候。 People dress up大家會盛裝打扮； cameras come攝影機會來； the people who made it often walk in製作團隊通常會走紅毯進場。

You can also use it as a verb: a film premieres in Cannes, or an opera premieres in Taipei. News and arts talk use it a lot; it is a little dressy for the dinner table, but movie fans say it without trouble.

You can also use it as a verb你也可以把它當動詞用： a film premieres in Cannes電影在坎城premiere， or an opera premieres in Taipei或歌劇在台北premiere。 News and arts talk use it a lot新聞和藝文報導很常用這個詞； it is a little dressy for the dinner table用在家常聊天裡有點正式， but movie fans say it without trouble但影迷說起來完全不會卡。

Though actually, “first” is slipperier than it looks. A world premiere is the very first showing anywhere. A Taiwan premiere may still be “the first here,” even if another country saw it last month.

Though actually不過其實， "first" is slipperier than it looks「第一次」這件事沒有看起來那麼單純。 A world premiere is the very first showing anywhereworld premiere是全世界第一次公開播映。 A Taiwan premiere may still be "the first here,"Taiwan premiere還是可以說是「在這裡第一次」， even if another country saw it last month就算別的國家上個月就看過了。

Keep the extra e at the end: premiere is this opening night. Premier, without that e, is a different word — often the Prime Minister, or “the most important.”

Keep the extra e at the end結尾那個多出來的e要保留： premiere is this opening nightpremiere指的是這個首映之夜。 Premier, without that e去掉那個e的premier， is a different word是完全不同的詞—— often the Prime Minister, or "the most important."常常是指總理，或「最重要的」。
