相信大家都听过一首流行歌曲,
里面的有句歌词是这样的:
你主宰,我崇拜.......只能爱你
you're my super star.......
所以你就记得 star=明星
但听到有人和你说 :You're a star.
千万别理解成: 你是大明星!
那应该如何理解You're a star
剑桥字典里的解释:You're a star(非正式)
如果你帮别人解决了难题
对方回你一句:You're a star.
其实是在说: 你真是个大好人!
something you say to someone when they have been nice and helpful to you
例句:
I really appreciate what you did for me. You're a star! Thanks a million.
我真的很感激你为我所做的一切。你真是个大好人! 万分感谢。
此外,star也有明星的意思
如果你真是有粉丝的明星, You're a star.这句话可以表示“你真是个大明星!”
例如:

star做动词,还有“ (在戏剧或电影中)担任主角,主演”的意思。
