Examples
"What was sweet and touching and only slightly comic in its original presentation becomes ridiculous in its reprise. It is the same song, and it is not." — Steve Swayne, How Sondheim Found His Sound, 2005
“原著中的甜美动人,只有一点点喜剧作用的内容因重复出现而变得荒谬。但是一首歌这样却并非如此。”
"Belushi, a new film…, tells us everything we might want to know about the late, great John Belushi's life and more, and yet the final minutes felt to me like a virtual reprise of Amy, the 2015 Amy Winehouse documentary, and other tales of fallen celebrity." — Ty Burr, The Boston Globe, 18 Nov. 2020
“贝鲁希(Belushi),是一部新电影……向我们介绍了约翰·贝鲁西(John Belushi)逝世,伟大的一生以及生活的一切,但是最后一分钟对我来说就像是对艾米(Amy),2015年艾米·怀恩豪斯(Amy Winehouse)的纪录片,真实再现名人堕落的故事。”
Did You Know?
When reprise was first adopted into English in the 15th century, it referred to a deduction or charge made yearly out of a manor or estate (and was usually used in the plural form reprises). It probably won't surprise you, then, to learn that reprise comes from an Anglo-French word meaning "seizure, repossession, or expense." Eventually, reprise came to refer to any action that was repeated or resumed. A later sense, borrowed from modern French, applies to specific types of repetition in musical compositions. That sense was eventually generalized to describe any subsequent and identical performance. It's possible, for example, to have a reprise of a television program or a book.
reprise在15世纪首次被英语采用时,指每年从庄园或不动产中扣除的费用(通常以reprises「复数」形式出现)。 因此,得知reprise来自Anglo-French,这个词指“seizure「扣押」,repossession「收回」或 expense「花费」”,您可能不会感到惊讶。 最终,reprise指的是重复或恢复的动作。 稍后的时间里从现代法语借来的“适用于音乐作品*特中**定类型的重复”的含义。 这种感觉最终被描述为任何前后相同的部分。 例如,to have a reprise of a television program or a book。
