Subject : It is reported that show had an all-star cast.

第一， 迷你对话

A: Let’s go to see Atonement this Sunday.

周末我们一起去看《赎罪》这个不电影吧。

B: It is reported that show had an all-star cast.

据说出演那部电影的全部是明星。

第二， 地道表达

all-star cast

1. 解词释义

All-star cast中的 cast是指“演员阵容”，star用来指代“明星”，整个短语的意思即为：全明星阵容。

2. 拓展范例

e.g. In a giant all-star cast, Bergman plays a funny old Swedish missionary.

在宏大的抒情诗般的明星阵容中，她扮演滑稽可笑的瑞典老传教士。

e.g. Assume that you have gathered an all-star cast now, would you still make an independent film?

假设你现在手上都有这班明星级的演员,那你还会继续拍独立电影?

第三， 咬文嚼字

1. 生活中说“这部影片都是明星演的。”，可以用到情景剧中的表述：The show had a all-star cast.

2. It is reported that……的意思是“据报道……”“据说……”。例如：

It is reported that the car accident took place sometime yesterday. 据报导，那场车祸是在昨天某个时候发生的。

It is reported that the temperature will decline sharply in one or two days. 据报告近日气温将明显下降。
