語言點講解:
①Far longer=much longer
②They go by many names=They have many different names; they are called in different ways.
③Idiot(白癡,傻蛋),同義詞為stupid。我們也可以說a retarded person。Retarded意為智力遲鈍、弱智的意思。常常有冒犯的意味。
④小黃人的電影就叫《Despicable Me》(卑鄙的我)。Despicable這個詞意為Someone who is really bad, disgusting and morally evil, so they deserve despise and rejection.(某人壞透了,令人厭惡,道德敗壞,所以他們活該被鄙視被拋棄)
⑤Tricky= Difficult, complicated
⑥同義詞:nonetheless= nevertheless
⑦Keep on looking這里后面有省略。完整的意為Continued looking for the most despicable master around(繼續(xù)尋找身邊最卑鄙的卑鄙大王)。
⑧如果出現(xiàn)了困難,難題,你“step forward”(上前),你就是自愿或是決定成為領(lǐng)頭羊,帶領(lǐng)大家一起解決問題。
⑨我們都知道bad的最高級是worst。在美國俚語中,baddest有worst的意思,但是更多是the greatest的意思(最棒的,最好的),而在某些程度上也是the best(最棒的)的意思。所以說這里the baddest villain=the best villain。
⑩反義詞:villain - hero
?在這里mostly=usually;通常的解釋為almost entirely(幾乎完全)
?Ahead:(空間上)你的前面;(時間上)近未來
