國中英語基測出現過 shine 的考題。

Kelly: Have you read the news about the Ciné Prize nominations?

Eunice: Yeah. I can’t believe Took Off got the most nominations. It’s not that good.

Kelly: Please! It’s the best movie of the year! The actors are great, and the story is wonderful. Tony Baker is so great in it! I believe he will finally win the Best Actor this time.

Eunice: Well, I like Hugh Wayne better. He’s so cute in Morning Star.

Kelly: He’s lucky enough to get the nomination. But a pretty face can only get him so far.

Eunice: At least Morning Star is selling more tickets than Took Off!

Kelly: OK. Let’s not talk about Wayne. Who do you think will win the Best Actress?

Eunice: Julia Adams, that’s for sure! She’s really the star in Roses. Even Laura Harper does not shine as much. Before this movie, I thought no one else was better than Laura.

Kelly: I’m glad we’re on the same page about this. Many people think Julia does very well in Roses, and she has become the talk of the Internet these days. I’m sure she’ll be the winner!
