Donny: Hey，吳瓊，did you watch the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony?

WQ: Yes, I did. What about you?

Donny：No, but I heard it was awesome. Did you like it?

WQ: 嗯，我挺喜歡的，但是我真替那些跑龍套的覺得累。

Donny: 跑龍套的？you mean the extras or the walk-ons?

WQ: 對， 就是參加表演，但鏡頭不多的群眾演員。還真挺形象的，extra--多余的，walk-on--在臺上走來走去的，就是跑龍套的。

Donny: Exactly, but they are very important, as well.

WQ: 賺錢少，工作時間又長，真的很辛苦，而且他們中很多人其實都很多才多藝。

Donny: You're right. As a matter of fact, many famous actors started out as extras.

WQ: 沒錯，很多大腕兒都是從跑龍套開始。對了，"大腕兒" 美語怎么說?

Donny: 大腕兒是 Big Shot. B-I-G, big, S-H-O-T, shot， big-shot.

WQ: Big shot! 這個好記。唉，我也好想當明星啊！可是以我這樣的條件，最多也只能當個替身。那 Donny,替身又該怎么說呢？

Donny: 替身是 "stunt-double." Stunt-doubles are used when special skills are needed for a performance, for example, playing the piano, dancing or car racing.

WQ: stunt是特技，所以 stunt-double 就是替身。糟糕，這些特技我一個都不會，看來，我連替身演員 stunt-double 都做不成！

Donny: 別這么說，你可以跟我學好美語，作為你的才藝啊！Now let's see what you've learned today.

WQ: 第一，跑龍套的/群眾演員是extra 或者walk-on.

第二，大腕兒是 big shot.

第三，替身是 stunt-double.
