网友YY夏洛克剧: Sherlock has become a global phenomenon, but nowhere more than in China, which was one of the first countries where the new season was shown. "The Sherlock production team shoot something more like a movie, not just a TV drama," said Yu Fei, a veteran writer of TV crime dramas for Chinese television. Scenes in which Holmes spots clues in a suspect's clothes or picks apart an alibi (pick apart somebody/something to find mistakes, weaknesses, or faults in someone or something When new software is developed, the company sends out a test version and asks users to pick it apart. Lots of players are picked apart by their coaches, by the fans, and by the media. Fig. 挑刺, 找茬 to analyze and criticize someone or something negatively. You didn't review her performance; you just picked her apart. The critics picked apart the performers. ) are so richly detailed that "it seems like a wasteful luxury," Yu said. "Tense plot, bizarre story, exquisite ( exquisite (ɪkˈskwɪzɪt; ˈɛkskwɪzɪt) 精良的. I. Characterized by intricate and beautiful design or execution: an exquisite chalice. II.

Acutely perceptive or discriminating: "Blind dolphins have been known to survive in the wild, guided by exquisite acoustic images of their prey" (Kenneth Browser). V. Intense; keen: suffered exquisite pain. ) production, excellent performances," it said of the third season's first episode. Youku.com says that after two weeks, total viewership for the Sherlock third season premiere had risen to 14.5 million people. That compares with the 8 to 9 million people who the BBC says watch first-run episodes in Britain. The total in China is bumped up by viewers on pay TV service BesTV, which also has rights to the programme. Appearing online gives Sherlock an unusual edge over Chinese dramas. To support a fledgling industry, communist authorities have exempted video websites from most censorship and limits on showing foreign programming that apply to traditional TV stations. That allows outlets such as Youku to show series that might be deemed too violent or political for state TV and to release them faster. BBC drama Sherlock has amassed legions of British fans but it would seem that none are quite as obsessed as the Chinese, who have made up some bizarre nicknames for the lead characters - "Curly Fu" and "Peanut" to be exact. Why, nobody knows, but online comments have confirmed the affectionate terms for Holmes and his sidekick(A close companion or comrade. a close friend or follower who accompanies another on adventures, etc.) Watson to be widespread. Chinese Sherlock viewers are renowned for their determination to find a homosexual subtext 隐含 to the show, with erotic fan fiction ( Fan fiction 同人小说, or fanfiction (often abbreviated as fan fic, fanfic, or simply fic), is a broadly defined fan labor term for stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator. Works of fan fiction are rarely commissioned or authorized by the original work's owner, creator, or publisher; also, they are almost never professionally published. Due to these works' not being published, stories often contain a disclaimer免责声明 stating that the creator of the work owns none of the original characters. Fan fiction is defined by being both related to its subject's canonical fictional universe and simultaneously existing outside the canon of that universe. Genres and tropes (trope (trəup) I. A figure of speech using words in nonliteral ways, such as a metaphor. II. A word or phrase interpolated as an embellishment in the sung parts of certain medieval liturgies. wiki: A literary trope is the use of figurative language. For example, the sitting United States administration might be referred to as "Washington". Since the 1970s, the word has also come to mean a commonly recurring literary device, motif, or cliché.): As with other forms of fiction, fan fiction stories can be written in any genre. There are some specialized genre categories that only apply to fan fiction or, at least, the terminology is specific. "Crack", a story with a deliberately bizarre premise, such as a nonsensical crossover; "angst焦虑不安, 烦躁不已"; and "fluff", "schmoop" or "WAFF (Warm And Fuzzy Feeling)"( warm and fuzzy [feeling] adj. comforted and reassured; also, friendly and affectionate; the feeling evoked as though you were enclosed in a warm and fuzzy blanket. to have an extremely happy feeling about the girl or guy that you like or love. girl: Wow you're really attractive. Guy: that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Not knowing where he is does not make me feel all warm-and-fuzzy. n. any person or thing that gives others comfort, reassurance, or a friendly feeling; also called warm fuzzy, warm fuzzies. We love staying at that inn; it gives us the warm-and-fuzzies. ) for a "feel good" story, are well-known examples. Certain tropes are also used and reused in fan fiction. There are so many of these that it would be impossible to name them all, and they vary greatly from fandom to fandom(All the fans of a sport, an activity, or a famous person. ). AUs (alternate universes) are common in many fandoms; "hurt-comfort" is also broadly popular. Mary Sue is a trope originating in Star Trek fan fiction that has crossed over to the mainstream, at least among editors and writers. In much early Trek fanfic, a common plot was a minor member of the USS Enterprise's crew saving the life of Captain Kirk or Mister Spock, often being rewarded with a sexual relationship as a result. A Mary Sue is an idealized character representing the author. Kinks: The term kink has a somewhat different connotation in reference to fan fiction than it does in mainstream culture. Sexual tropes or situations are often referred to as kinks whether or not they are particularly "adventurous." Sometimes the term is even more broadly applied to describe plots or tropes that people enjoy, regardless of whether or not they are sexual in nature. Crossovers: Crossovers are stories that incorporate two or more different sources. For example, an author may take a character from Canon A and place him or her in the universe of Canon B, or characters from two or more fandoms may meet at a neutral location (e.g.; Harry Potter x Hetalia: Axis Powers or Lord of the Rings x Star Wars). In some cases, particularly with series whose universes might theoretically overlap as to space and time, the assumption may be made (for story purposes) that the characters exist in the same broad universe. These stories may include romantic or sexual pairings配对 between characters from different canons.) regularly created to explore the male duo's supposed bromance. Chinese female fans of the Benedict Cumberbatch-led show are in love with the show's leads, Sherlock (Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman). They're also in love with the idea of them settling down 安定下来 with one another. What makes China slightly different is that this slashing is happening in a country with a history rife with gay discrimination and against slashing(There are four main categories that refer to the romantic or sexual story elements. "Slash", "Femslash", "Het", and "Gen" (short for "General"). In almost all fandoms, slash refers to same-sex male pairings. The term originates from the slash between the names of the characters in a relationship (e.g. Kirk/Spock). Although all types of pairings in many fandoms are denoted with a slash (anime fans use an "x" instead), only same-sex pairings are referred to by that term. (Thus, although often written out as Harry/Ginny, to use a canon heterosexual relationship from the Harry Potter fandom, these relationships would not be called slash.) Femslash, or sometimes femmeslash, refers to same-sex female pairings. Sometimes pairings are represented as portmanteau words combining the names of both parties (e.g. Johnlock for Sherlock/John) similar to the popularity of celebrity couple nicknames such as Brangelina. Slash fiction is a genre of fan fiction that focuses on interpersonal attraction and sexual relationships between fictional characters of the same sex. While the term was originally restricted to stories in which male media characters were involved in an explicit sexual relationship as a primary plot element (also known as "slash" or "m/m slash"), it is now used to refer to any fan story containing a pairing between same-sex characters. Many fans distinguish female-focused slash as a separate genre, commonly referred to as femslash (also known as "f/f slash", "femmeslash", "altfic" and "saffic"). The characters are usually not engaged in such relationships in their respective fictional universes. ) — people have been in thrown in jail for distributing slash fiction. Apparently, the homosexual love between Curly Fu, Peanut, and other male characters on the show like Mycroft and Moriarty is worth bring thrown in prison for 投进监狱(throw something in to include something extra. If you subscribe now, the phone company throws in 90 days of free Internet access. She would throw some French fries in to keep the customers happy. A throw-in (or shy) 抛球 is a method of restarting play in a game of association football when the ball has exited the side of the field of play. The handspring throw-in is a dramatic type of throw-in, rarely used in competitive games, where the player completes a front handspring (somersault) while holding the ball. Instead of landing on the hands during the handspring, the player's weight is momentarily supported entirely by the ball. This type of throw-in follows the rules that require the player to have both feet on the ground when he/she is releasing the ball, and that the ball is thrown from behind the head. Strong abdominal muscles are required for this throw-in. Infringements: If an opposing player fails to respect the required distance (2m) before the ball is in play or otherwise unfairly distracts or impedes the thrower, he or she may receive a caution (yellow card) for unsporting behavior. If the thrower fails to deliver the ball as per the required procedure, or delivers it from a point other than where the ball left the field of play, the throw-in is awarded to the opposing team.). The Fu Nv would probably be something like the One Directioners who gobble up "Zarry" (Zayn + Harry) or "Ziam" (Zayn+ Liam) fan fiction. As Amanda Hess wrote for Tomorrow, some of this is a push against the contrived 造作的, 做作的(stilted) and now all to formulaic ( formulaic (ˌfɔrmjəˈleiik) 程式化的 adj. made according to a formula: a formulaic plot. ) romance stuff that we've been shoving at teenage girls since the dawn of boy bands and Chistian Grey, which are, when you boil it down归纳总结, 归结于, idyllic love stories written by middle age men and women about people half their age, aimed at teens and young adults.

To press (one's lips) in and together so that they protrude. to contract into folds; pucker: to purse one's lips. make a silk purse of a sow's ear (idiomatic) To produce something refined, admirable, or valuable from something which is unrefined, unpleasant, or of little or no value. pout(paut) I.

(intransitive) To be or pretend to be ill-tempered; to sulk. III. (transitive) To say while pouting. ), remindful of the 'Good Ship Lollipop' days.". Shirley Temple proved that all child stars don't grow up to be Lindsay Lohan. Before that, she proved that an irresistibly cute little curly haired white girl could dance with Bill Robinson, a charming, stylish black man, and the American social fabric would not crumble(The composite demographics of a defined area, which consists of its ethnic composition, wealth, education level, employment rate and regional values. that's the way the cookie crumbles = That's the way the ball bounces. something that you say which means that bad things sometimes happen and there is nothing you can do to prevent it, so it is not worth becoming upset about it I can't believe they chose Sam for the job and not me.

Those two things alone would make for a life well-led, and in the case of Shirley Temple Black, they were a small part of the imprint she left before she died Monday at the age of 85. As a child star童星 in the movies, Shirley Temple was one of those small sparkling lights 一丝光芒, 一丝光亮 that helped guide Americans through the Great Depression. For a dime, you could walk into a darkened theater and for a couple of hours forget what you left outside. By some later standards, and probably even some standards of the time, Temple's bright, plucky(Having or showing pluck, courage or spirit in trying circumstances.), precocious ( (prɪˈkouʃəs) 早熟的. I. Characterized by exceptionally early development or maturity. II. Exhibiting advanced skills at an abnormally early age. The precocious child began reading the newspaper at age four. ) and occasionally sassy character might have felt a little too cute. But she was fun. It was hard to be in too cranky a mood not to like Shirley Temple. She became one of the first Hollywood stars to inspire a line of merchandise and, more telling than that, her name became a cultural reference. Years after she had retired from the movies, "Shirley Temple" remained a generic reference, like "Babe Ruth" or "Marilyn Monroe." Grown-ups looked at her on the screen and saw a spirited, loveable kid, the kind every parent would like to have. Kids looked at her and saw a preteen holding her own ( hold one's own to do as well as anyone else. to be as successful as other people or things in a situation. To demonstrate oneself to be capable; to provide a respectable performance or worthy competition; to stick up for oneself. She can hold her own in any debate on religion.

She was unable to hold her own, and she had to quit. stand/walk tall (idiomatic) To behave in a brave, proud, or unyielding manner, without retreating from confrontation, danger, or adversity. ) with the grown-ups all around her — almost a peer to the grown-ups, because she was so smart and had a clever wit. In many ways, though, the equally important part of Shirley Temple's legacy was not the smile and the curls. It's the image 画面 of her small hand in the big hand of Bill Robinson, who was gently teaching her how to tap dance up and down a flight of stairs. Robinson's first role alongside Shirley Temple, in the 1935 film "The Little Colonel," was not conceived as any sort of bold social experiment or statement. Robinson played a servant, a houseboy, a compliant (I. 听话的, 顺从的, 守规矩的. 规规矩矩的, 不反抗的. 乖乖听话的 Willing to comply; yielding; bending; pliant; submissive; willing to do what someone wants. The suspect was compliant when arrested. II. Compatible with or following guidelines, specifications, rules, or laws. The browser is standards compliant. The workplace is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. ) black man who showed no resentment or anger when he was berated by his old-school Southern boss, played by Lionel Barrymore. But like many of the black servant characters of the era, the ones generically represented by Stepin Fetchit, Robinson's Walker character knew what time it was. Like Shirley, he was smarter than any of the other characters realized, which made their alliance even more delightful to those who understood what Robinson was hiding behind that agreeable expression. They had their first dance when Temple was 6 and Robinson 57, which rendered the moment distinctly unthreatening. Still, there was an unmistakeable affection between them, and their tacit alliance(tacit 默默的, 无言的. Done or made in silence; implied, but not expressed; silent; as, tacit consent默认 is consent by silence, or by not interposing an objection.) — while not much different on the surface表面看起来没有什么不同 than that between young white children and black nannies — proved a prophetic [prəˈfɛtɪk] image(I. 预言性质的. accurately predicting what will happen in the future. "his warnings proved prophetic". II. relating to or characteristic of a prophet or prophecy.). For all her success in the 1930s, though, Temple was pretty much finished as a movie star by the age of 11 — just after her boss Darryl Zanuck, convinced she could become a long-term star for him — refused to loan her to MGM so she could play Dorothy in "The Wizard Of Oz." She played in a few films as a teenager, including "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" and "Fort Apache," but she saw she was now just another actress. After she failed to get the title role in the stage musical "Peter Pan" in 1950, she announced her retirement. She was 22. She did not, however, fall into the dissolution解体 of Lohan or Britney Spears — or even the actress who did get the Dorothy role, Judy Garland. She did some television work and eventually some corporate work. See, it wasn't an act(Excellence is not an act有意为之, but a habit. Quality is not an act, it is a habit.). She really was smart. She raised a family and became active in politics. In the early 1970s she also became one of the first well-known women to publicly discuss her diagnosis of breast cancer. She survived and was credited 赞誉 with helping to raise awareness of the disease. Shirley Temple movies today in one sense look like what they are: quaint black-and-white period pieces, with predictable plotlines, stilted ( stilted ['stiltid] 生硬的, 做作的, 尴尬的, 造作的 (contrived) I. stiff and artificially formal. (of a manner of talking or writing) stiff and self-conscious or unnatural. not flowing continuously or naturally: "we made stilted conversation". He gave a stilted bow and left.

Either of two poles with footrests that allow someone to stand or walk above the ground; used mostly by entertainers. Stilts are poles, posts or pillars used to allow a person or structure to stand at a height above the ground. Walking stilts are poles equipped with steps for the feet to stand on, and straps to attach them to the legs, for the purpose of walking while elevated above a normal height. In flood plains, and on beaches or unstable ground, buildings are often constructed on stilts to protect them from damage by water, waves or shifting soil or sand. Stilts have been used for many hundreds of years. Peg stilts, also known as Chinese stilts, or strap-on stilts are the most common stilts used by professional performers. These stilts strap on at the foot, ankle, and knee and give the walker great versatility. Peg stilts are often made from wood but can also be made of aluminium or tubular steel. These lightweight stilts allow one to walk quickly, to turn suddenly, and even to jump rope or dance. The stilt walker 踩高跷的人 must keep moving at all times to keep their balance. ) dialogue and often a huge overlay of melodrama. But the sheer exuberance still shines through(exuberance I. (uncountable) The quality of being exuberant; cheerful or vigorous enthusiasm; liveliness. II. An instance of exuberant behaviour. ), and it's as clear now as it was in 1935 that Shirley Temple embodied something Americans like in themselves. And that "Americans" included Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, the genius with the wooden tap shoes who showed Shirley Temple how to work the stairs.
分手亦是朋友的荧幕情侣: There's a reason many companies have a no interoffice dating policy 公司内部恋爱政策. A romance with your coworkers might be convenient but things can easily turn sour, leaving the work environment hostile or worse awkward(Ugh, your having a good conversation, then all of a sudden, it stops, how awkward. and to make it worse, they say something like ''sooo.....'' or ''ya...'' dont talk! its already awkward enough!). Luckily, the formerly romantic co-stars on this list didn't seem to have that problem once they broke up, and if they did we sure couldn't tell by the way they continued to play together on camera, especially when their characters continued to be romantically involved. After denying rumors of a romance, "Vampire Diaries" co-stars, and dysfunctional onscreen lovers, Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder came clean to (own up to to acknowledge, confess, or admit guilt or reponsibility.

The pair broke things off in May 2013 but portrayed a couple on screen during season 5 of the show as doppelganger ( I. A ghostly double of a living person, especially one that haunts such a person. II. An evil twin.) Elena Gilbert and vampire Damon Salvatore. Rumors began circulating that the two were back together in November 2013, but they pretty much denied it at the People's Choice Awards during an awkward onstage speech in January 2013. Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall played fairly troubled but very close adopted siblings Debra and Dexter Morgan on Showtime's "Dexter." Though not exactly an onscreen "couple" they certainly had a crazy chemistry, and there was that weird, almost cringeworthy, stint in season 6 when Deb realizes that she's in love with Dexter and that hold-your-breath moment in season 7 when she confesses her love to him, but nothing ever came of it没有下文, 没有结果…However, in real life the pair had a relationship. The two met on the set of the show during season 1 in 2006, got engaged February 2008, and married in December that year. After Hall's battle and recovery from cancer the pair divorced in 2010. They not only continued to work together on "Dexter" until its end in 2013, but maintained a close relationship offscreen as well. Though they are no longer married, Carpenter affirms that the "love is still there." Not every onscreen couple can keep it cordial ( Hearty; sincere; warm; affectionate. ) on set after dating in real life. Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell entertained like no other as Martin and Gina on the hit sitcom "Martin." The hilarious pair reportedly dated around the time they both appeared in the first "House Party" film, but rumors ran deep that the two also carried on a private affair during some of their years on "Martin." Things didn't exactly go well, though. They continued to portray their lovey-dovey, dysfunctional counterparts, but the atmosphere on set began to get hostile. After Campbell broke things off with Lawrence, and began a more serious relationship with actor Duane Martin, Lawrence reportedly made things extremely tough for her on set. His abuse escalated to the point that Campbell slapped him with a highly publicized sexual harassment suit and left the show. For that reason, she appears very little in the final season of the series. Eventually the parties settled the case, and Campbell returned for the finale, but only under the condition that she had no scenes 对不到戏 with Lawrence. With an unwilling Campbell there was no Martin and Gina, without Martin and Gina there was no show. Season 5 (1997) effectively became the final season of "Martin."
