英语新闻听写 传说中的"绿帽子节"

Movies To Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

你知道什么是“绿帽子节”吗？

St Patrick's Day is in full swing but if you find yourself home on a night like tonight,

爱尔兰国庆日正在如火如荼地进行着，但是若像今晚一样只身待在家，

maybe you can celebrate by watching a fabulously¹ Irish movie instead.

那你不妨看一部爱尔兰影片聊表庆祝之意。

Screen Rant² published an article listing 15 films all of which must feature Irish actors, characters, or locales.

美国电影网站Screen Rant列出了15部颇具爱尔兰特色（演员，角色，地点）的影片。

The list includes the cult³ favorite, "The Commitments",

其中包括异教徒特别喜爱的《追梦者》，

a great movie about growing up poor and talented with a commitment to the blues⁴ only the Irish can truly understand.

影片讲述的是一群贫苦但极具天赋的年轻人组成了一个名叫"承诺"的蓝调音乐的合唱团，只有爱尔兰人才能领悟影片的真正灵魂所在。

Also making the list was Marty Scorsese's, "Gangs Of New York" starring Leonardo DiCaprio in a role that should have earned him his first oscar for a marvelous performance

还有一部电影是莱昂纳多和马丁.西科塞斯合作的《纽约黑帮》，在这部影片里，莱昂纳多凭借精湛的演技赢得了人生中第一个奥斯卡提名，

which was only eclipsed by the towering presence of Daniel Day Lewis.

这样的光环让丹尼尔·戴·刘易斯也黯然失色。

Happy St. Patrick's Day film fans!

祝所有影迷们“绿帽子节”快乐!
