布兰切特的着装
著名好莱坞女演员凯特·布兰切特在今年的戛纳电影节上再度成为媒体和网友关注的焦点。
原因是她在走红毯时，似乎巧妙又大胆地展示了自己支持巴勒斯坦的立场。
当地时间5月20日，凯特·布兰切特身穿一袭 Jean Paul Gaultier 礼服出现在戛纳主竞赛单元影片《飞黄腾达》的首映礼红毯上。
不少媒体将布兰切特这身着装解读为对巴勒斯坦的声援。英国《卫报》写道：
- form-fitting adj. (of clothing) fitting someone's body closely（衣服）非常合身的
- off-the-shoulder 露肩的
- Jean Paul Gaultier 一位法国高级时装设计大师，创立有同名的高级服装定制品牌。他曾于2003年-2010年担任爱马仕的设计总监。
- gown n. a woman’s dress, especially a long one for special occasions（尤指特别场合穿的）女裙，女长服，女礼服

- tribute n. [uncountable, countable] tribute (to somebody) an act, a statement or a gift that is intended to show your respect or admiration, especially for a dead person（尤指对死者的）致敬，颂词；悼念；致哀；吊唁礼物
- 由哥伦比亚出生的法国设计师Haider Ackermann 设计的Jean Paul Gaultier 露肩贴身礼服初看只是一件简单的黑色礼服。但当布兰切特（开始）走动时，摄像机捕捉到了礼服的背面，那看上去是白色的。当她撩起下摆时，衬里露出墨绿色。在红毯的背景中，布兰切特似乎是在向巴勒斯坦国旗致敬。
At first, her form-fitting, off-the-shoulder Jean Paul Gaultier gown – designed by the Colombian-born French designer Haider Ackermann – looked like a simple black dress. But when Blanchett moved, cameras captured the back of the dress, which appeared white. When she lifted her hem, they captured its green inner lining, too. Against the red carpet, Blanchett appeared to be a walking tribute to the Palestinian flag.
并不出人意料
It wouldn't be out of character for the Australian actress. Last November, amid a flurry of silencing of Hollywood figures who spoke out against the atrocities of Israel's war on Gaza, Blanchett called for a ceasefire and support of refugees at the European parliament.
- in character, out of character typical/not typical of a person’s character 符合（或不符合）某人的性格

- 停火 ceasefire
- refugee n. a person who has been forced to leave their country or home, because there is a war or for political, religious or social reasons 避难者；逃亡者；难民
- 这并不符合这位澳大利亚女演员的性格。 去年11月，反对以色列对加沙战争暴行的好莱坞人物纷纷被禁声，布兰切特在欧洲议会呼吁停火并支持难民。
- 这符合她的性格。去年11月，当声援巴勒斯坦的好莱坞明星纷纷被噤声的时候，这位澳大利亚女演员就在欧洲议会上呼吁（加沙）止战，帮助难民。
作为联合国难民署亲善大使，她在演讲中说：
- cost n. [uncountable, singular] the effort, loss or damage that is involved in order to do or achieve something（为做某事涉及的）努力，代价，损失
- pundit n. a person who knows a lot about a particular subject and who often talks about it in public行家；权威；专家

- 最早的 original adj. [only before noun] existing at the beginning of a particular period, process or activity 原来的；起初的；最早的
- player n. an actor 演员
- 布兰切特也是最早签署公开（联名）信(Artists4Ceasefire)、敦促美国总统拜登促进巴以停火的好莱坞演员之一。
Blanchett was also one of the original Hollywood players who signed Artists4Ceasefire’s open letter to Joe Biden calling for an end to the war.
“I am not from Israel or Palestine. I am not a politician. I am not even a pundit,” she said. “But I am a witness, and having witnessed the human cost of war, violence and persecution visiting refugees from across the globe, I cannot look away.”
激励作用
- subtlety n. subtle adj. (of a person or their behaviour人或行为 ) behaving in a clever way, and using indirect methods, in order to achieve something 机智的；机巧的；狡猾的
- 强有力的主张 strong point
- associate professor 副教授

- “我长大后，也想成为凯特·布兰切特那样的人，也能精妙地想到红毯已经是红色的，然后我只要穿一条带绿色衬里的黑白色裙子，就能表达强有力的主张。” 英国萨塞克斯大学商学院副教授、巴勒斯坦裔的扎希拉·贾瑟博士在 X 上写道。
“When I grow up I want to become Cate Blanchett, and have the subtlety to think the carpet is already red, so I can just wear a black & white dress with green lining to make such a strong point,” Dr Zahira Jaser, an associate professor at the University of Sussex Business School who is of Palestinian descent, wrote on X.
隐含意义
这条裙子潜在的隐含意义，让人想起1987年巴勒斯坦大起义（First Intifada）后的一个传统。
美籍巴勒斯坦裔裙装历史学家和研究员瓦法·格奈姆说：
- reminiscent adj. reminiscent of somebody/something reminding you of somebody/something 使回忆起（人或事）
- intifada n. （始于1987的巴勒斯坦人反对以色列人占领约旦河西岸和加沙地带的）起义, 暴动
- story In this sentence, "story" refers to the narrative or account of events and experiences, particularly those related to personal or collective experiences, struggles, or challenges.That is, the women in the first intifada used their bodies as a means of expression and struggle（参考于国内 gpt 网站，如有不对，请指出）
- “布兰切特的礼服很像巴勒斯坦妇女在巴勒斯坦大起义期间采取的这种做法。” 格奈姆说。“巴勒斯坦妇女用自己的身体来表达她们的意志，这件裙子让我想起了这种表达。”
“Even just in the way Blanchett holds the train, with the pinch of her finger, she makes her message clear,” she continued.
“Blanchett’s dress is reminiscent of this approach that Palestinian women took during the first intifada,” Ghnaim said. “Palestinian women were using their bodies to express their story, and this dress reminds me of that.
- train n. the part of a long formal dress that spreads out on the floor behind the person wearing it 拖裾，裙裾（长礼服的曳地部分）拖裾，裙裾（长礼服的曳地部分）

- “单单是布兰切特用手指轻轻捏住裙摆的方式，已经清晰传达出了她的信息。” 她说道。
相关视频下，网友纷纷留言称赞布兰切特的智慧和勇敢。
- solidarity n. support by one person or group of people for another because they share feelings, opinions, aims, etc. 团结；齐心协力；同心同德；相互支持
- 天哪！真是太聪明了，通过时尚表达对巴勒斯坦人民的团结支持。
- 爱所有为正义挺身而出的人们。
Beautiful, subtle, yet such a powerful action. We should keep reminding and remembering that the Plestinans are still suffering; they are still going through a genocide and this didn't end just because other celebrities still keep ignoring it. We will never forget who were on the right side of history all along and who never stopped talking about this injustice.
Love to all who are standing up for the right cause.
Wow! That is a really smart way to show solidarity through fashion.
- genocide n. the murder of a whole race or group of people种族灭绝；大屠杀
- all along all the time; from the beginning 一直；始终
- 为不公正之事奔走呼号 never stop talking about the injustice
- 如此美丽，如此精妙，又如此充满力量。我们必须时刻提醒自己，巴勒斯坦人民还在受苦受难，还在遭受种族灭绝，而其他名人的沉默是无法让这一切结束的。我们永远都不该忘记那些站在历史正确一边，那些永不停歇为不公正之事奔走呼号的人们。
