最近美版《甄嬛传》上映了之后，娘娘在国内又火了一把。我看到美版预告片后有种：开天辟地头一回！学英语的小伙伴们终于有了‘看着出口的国产剧学英文’即视感！美国人把娘娘变成了在王室争斗中步步为营、义无反顾选择爱情的感人故事！

热腾腾的预告一出，我们就可以跟着学单词啦！且来先听本回分解——

In a time of legend.

在那个传奇的年代。

Legend这个词在中文解释中是“传奇，传奇故事，传奇人物”。

legend是英语文学中的一個术语，Legend的定义是: a song or narrative handed down from the past. Legend differs from myths on the basis of the elements of historical truth they contain.

Legend所带有的色彩是更偏向“魔幻、架空、基于基本史实的加工虚构”的意味。虽然带有一些历史的元素，但是更加倾向于虚构加工。比如甄嬛，虽然是一个虚构的人物，她很多经历也是虚构的，但是在她的故事中，存在许多历史上真实的人物：比如雍正、华妃年世兰；还有些情节，比如甄嬛变成了太后，登基的四阿哥其实就是乾隆。这些人和事其实都可以算在”legend”的故事范畴中。

A young beauty will have a chance and everything she ever dreamed.

一位倾世红颜，将有机会得到她梦寐以求的一切。

Beauty这个词做名词的时候可以指美人，也可以指美丽的艺术品，而这个词的来源可以总结为：拉丁语→古法语→中古英语

（默默吐个槽，其实Beauty这个词在Middle English时期原本的写法是Beaute.）

在小伙伴们刚刚学英文的时候肯定学过一个和Beauty特别像的词:beautiful。这个词其实更多的是用在客套话上的，后来出现了一种很神奇的情况：许多母语不是英文的小

伙伴在词汇量匮乏的时候，真的想形容一个妹子很漂亮只能用“beautiful，very beautiful,very very beautiful”，有的小伙伴可能还会用lovely或者cute.

其实在英文中，如果你真正想形容一个妹子非常非常漂亮，你可以选择用charming、gorgeous、attractive、stunning.

Charming倾向于一种带着神秘色彩的、迷人的美。去掉ing之后的charm中文含义是魔咒。

是不是发现了一些很有趣的联系了呢？

比起charming，英国人更喜欢用gorgeous,这个词更倾向于形容高贵、典雅的美。如果说charming的魔幻色彩让其更像形容我们在影视中看到的神秘美人，或者是一个气质魔幻神秘的美女的话，gorgeous就是用来形容女神的专用词。现在的英国妹子已经把gorgeous口语化了，你在油管上看见的很多英国美妆博主在她们的视频开头打招呼的时候都会说“Hey gorgeous”.

Stunning这个词也是形容一个妹子很美的词，而与上面两个词不同的是，stunning这个词中包含了惊艳的味道。如果有一天你换了一条新裙子，画了一个以前你没有画过的妆出门，你的BF在见到你之后一脸惊讶的表情对你说;You look stunning! 恭喜你你成功惊艳到了他！让他有一种前所未有的惊喜感！如果从前他只是觉得你是可爱型的，可能在这次惊艳一瞥之后他觉得你可萌可御姐可女神。

静白：Wish you good health,your majesty.I’m Jingbai,oh,do you still remember me?Mrs

Xi :Of course,the negative characters are always difficult to forget.Do you want

to take another beating?

静白：Uh-hun，thank you.The last beating has taught me to tell the “truth”. Xi :I hope so.

祺 ：OK，stop chefting.Jingbai,please tell the key point.

静白:When Xi was in Ganlu Temple,we were all not dare to get close to her.And later,a

( ):How kind-hearted Ann is now!

祺 ：Xi had been pregnant before going back to the palace.So,how do we know it is

the true prince?

温 :What do you mean by saying that!Do you mean that the prince and princess are

not king’s kids?That’s related to our nation’s development.Your majesty,you can’t believe what she said!

All :Oh my god!that 2 kids may be not king’s children!

皇后：stop!You guys always spend the gossip.I do not allow you to repeat like a parro. King:Go-with-the-tide?You mean that lots of people are gossiping this?Everyone know

that I’m cuckolded(戴绿帽子)?

皇后:Don't’t worry,your majesty.They all eat a hold of.

King:What’s the gossip?How can you be a competent queen?

皇后：Xixi had a premature birth,we have no idea where are the two children from,they

doubt whether the children are your bloodline.Oh,t haven’t believed in those gossip!

King:We all know that a mad cat caused her premature birth,who can predict it?What’s

more,Xixi is weab and my princess Longyue is also a premature,so the gossip is nonsense!

皇后：（?）Oh,I think so,too?

祺 ：Oh what a lovely cat!The cat was helping her!i think we must torture Jinxi

an Huanbi to get the turth1

Xi ：（slow down the voice）Shut up!bitch!

皇后：That’s related to our nation.You have high expectation on the baby,if involves

generations after generations,we have to be careful!

King:So?How do you think it?

皇后:I am afraid that we should have a blood test.

Ann :T’ve heard of the blood test.That requires dropping two persons’ blood in

a container,if the blood mixes,the two person are biologically related.if not,they have no biologically connection.

皇后：But it will hurt you,your majesty.I’m really fearful

端 :No,this way is not feasible.How could an emperor be hurt?

King:?

Xi :I’ve thought that we love each other deeply,but now?If I know you do not trust

me at all,t would rather be alone all my life!

King:Huanhuan,just have a try,and we will prove your innocence.

Xi :Well,you really suspect me.All right,now,we can have the baby tested blood with

Wen.In this way,it won’t hurt you and can pay my innocence back.

King:Su,get the baby here.And you(queen),prepare the fool for blood test. 皇后:No problem.

（here comes the sixth prince）

Xi :Your majesty,once you do it,even though he is your son,he’ll be abused by

others.That he is the child being distrusted.How will he keep a foothold in the future?

皇后:Don't worry,just a try.

possible that Wen and Jinxi are my children?

King:Nonsense!Of course I know!Ha Ha?

( ):(tasting)Your majesty,it tastes acerb,alum must be added in advance.There is

an explanation on the book saying that people’s blood will mix with alum even though you do not have the same blood lineage.

皇后:My water absolutely has no problem!Your majesty!

King:And I remember you have a good knowledage of medical skill?
