這個夏天，久違的《千與千尋》於6月21日在中國大陸上映。距離最初2001年上映已經過去了整整18年，相信大部分小夥伴以前也看過這部電影了，但是情懷仍在，上映後票房喜人。
今天選取了《千與千尋》相關的外刊報導，用英語了解一下這件事，並且學習幾個相關的外刊表達，在學習文章前，我們先一起看看這部電影的英文版宣傳片吧~
Spirited Away: Japanese anime trounces Toy Story 4 at China box office
《千與千尋》的英文翻譯是Spirited Away。spirit away這個短語表示偷偷帶走；讓人不可思議地弄走：to take sb / sth away in a quick, secret or mysterious way，舉個例子：
After the concert, the band was spirited away before their fans could get near them.音樂會結束後，樂隊沒等歌迷靠近就神秘地消失了。
Spirit away 又稱為「神隱」。據傳神隱現象好發於兒童。當有人家小孩無故失蹤，村民即會喊名尋找，假如遍尋不著，即認定此人遭到神隱，被神祇、狐仙、天狗等鬼魅妖精帶走。（和《千與千尋》劇情正貼切）
Janpanese anime就是日本動畫的意思，以後想表達這個意思時就知道要怎麼來說了。
我們再看看這裡的trounce，這個詞彙表示「輕鬆戰勝;大勝;擊潰」If you trounce someone in a competition or contest, you defeat them easily or by a large score.屬於比較不正式的用法，舉個例子：
Brazil trounced Italy 5–1 in the final. 在決賽中巴西隊以 5:1 狂勝義大利隊。
在南華早報中，標題則是用了另一個詞trump：
這裡的trump可不是指川普，而是用作了動詞，表示贏，勝過，打敗:to do better than someone else in a situation when people are competing with each other，比如
•By wearing a simple but stunning dress, she had trumped them all.她穿著一條樸素卻異常美麗的裙子，力壓群芳。
Japanese animation Spirited Away has dominated the Chinese box office over its opening weekend, making more than twice as much as Disney's Toy Story 4.
日本動畫《千與千尋》在周末的首映中佔據了中國的票房榜首，是迪士尼電影《玩具總動員4》的兩倍多。
如何表達「取得多少票房」？
The Studio Ghibli film grossed $27.7m (£21.8m), according to Maoyan, China's largest movie ticketing app. Spirited Away was officially released in 2001, but only now, 18 years later, has it been released in China. However, many Chinese viewers grew up with the film, having watched DVDs or pirated downloads.
根據中國最大的電影訂票APP貓眼的數據，這部由吉卜力工作室出品的電影總收入為2770萬美元(2180萬英鎊)。《千與千尋》於2001年正式上映，但直到18年後的今天，它才在中國上映。然而，許多中國觀眾是看著這部電影長大的，他們看過了《千與千尋》的DVD或盜版下載。
[熟詞僻義]經常看美劇的同學會發現，gross可以表示「令人噁心的，令人討厭的」，但在這裡是用作了動詞，意思是「總收入為；總共賺得」。
比如這部電影票房總收入已經超過一千萬美元，英語就可以用gross來表達：
•The movie has already grossed over $10 million.
「收穫了多少票房」類似的表達還有pull in，total，rake in等，這幾個詞都表示「掙；獲得；賺取」，舉個例子：
I only pull in 15,000 a year as a social worker.作為一名社工，我每年僅掙15,000。
Imports totalled $1.5 billion last year. 去年的進口總額達 15 億元。
再比如去年很火的電影《我不是藥神》的外刊相關報導中，就有用「rake in」來描寫票房成績，這個句子是這樣寫的：
The film, which raked in a record $200m in its opening weekend on a budget of just $15m, is based on the true story of Lu Yong. Mr Lu was arrested in 2013 for peddling knock-off cancer drugs imported illegally from India.
這部成本僅為1500萬美元的電影，在上映一周以來，票房創下歷史新高--2億美元。這部電影基於勇陸的真實故事，他於2013年因為非法販賣從印度進口的仿製抗癌藥而受到逮捕。
看看如何用英語介紹《千與千尋》這部電影：
Spirited Away is one of Studio Ghibli's most popular, breath-taking masterpieces which follows a young girl entering a magic world in order to save her parents who have been changed into pigs. The film spotlights Chihiro as she works in a mystical bath house and encounters magical beings in the forms of witches and ethereal giants, to name a few.
《千與千尋》是吉卜力工作室最受歡迎，令人驚嘆的傑作之一，講述了一個小女孩為了拯救被變成豬的父母而進入魔法世界的故事。這部電影主角是川島千尋，她在一個神秘的澡堂裡工作，遇到了女巫和飄渺的巨人等魔法生物。
breath-taking激動人心的; 驚人的; 令人驚嘆的:very impressive, exciting, or surprising，比如：
•The view from my bedroom window was absolutely breathtaking.
從我臥室的窗戶看出去，景色美得令人嘆為觀止。
The movie gained a cult following after it was released and still remains Studio Ghibli's highest grossing movie of all time. It also became the first non-English language animated film to win an Academy Award.
這部電影上映後，受到熱捧，仍然是吉卜力工作室有史以來票房最高的電影。它也成為第一部獲得奧斯卡獎的非英語動畫電影。
On top of the Oscar win, the movie itself was the highest grossing movie in Japan's history, pulling in $275 million USD in that country alone. The film broke box office records and won rave reviews on its initial release in Japan in 2001.
除了奧斯卡獲獎之外，《千與千尋》這部電影本身也是日本歷史上票房最高的電影，僅在日本就獲得了2.75億美元的票房。
highest grossing movie票房最高的電影
這裡又出現了pull in，前面已經講解過了，表示獲得；賺取。
broke box office records 打破票房記錄
