【口语积累】
1. 剧情反转 plot twist
“反转”英文用twist表达,如果想强调是“神反转”,可以说surprise twist或unexpected twist。“多重反转”可以用multiple twist来表达。

2. 烧脑 mind-bending
Mind-bending可以形容“令人难以理解的”,这个短语也可以表达“令人兴奋的,印象极其深刻的”,此时与mind-blowing和mind-boggling是同样的意思。“烧脑”也可以说mind-twisting或brain-twisting,或者说一部电影是a brain twister,a brain teaser。形容“费脑”还可以用一个非常简单的词:brainy,指“需要头脑的”。

3. 充满悬念的 suspenseful
Suspense这个词指的是“对即将发生的事情的担心,兴奋,焦虑等”,因此suspenseful可以表示“剧情悬疑,令人紧张”,我们还可以用keep sb in suspense这个表达。形容剧情“紧张”还可以说intense,如果要表达剧情“扣人心弦”可以用gripping和intriguing。
It had a gripping and suspenseful plot.
它剧情扣人心弦,充满悬疑。

4. 暑期档大片 summer blockbuster
Blockbuster指“卖座的大片”或“非常成功的事物”等,如果想表达“超级大片”,可以在blockbuster前面加上massive。“暑期档”则可以说summer blockbuster season。
It would be an absolute blockbuster.
它绝对能一鸣惊人。
"Jurassic World" was a massive blockbuster that broke box office records.
《侏罗纪世界》是一部超级大片,打破了票房纪录。
