Donny: Hey，吴琼，did you watch the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony?

WQ: Yes, I did. What about you?

Donny：No, but I heard it was awesome. Did you like it?

WQ: 嗯，我挺喜欢的，但是我真替那些跑龙套的觉得累。

Donny: 跑龙套的？you mean the extras or the walk-ons?

WQ: 对， 就是参加表演，但镜头不多的群众演员。还真挺形象的，extra--多余的，walk-on--在台上走来走去的，就是跑龙套的。

Donny: Exactly, but they are very important, as well.

WQ: 赚钱少，工作时间又长，真的很辛苦，而且他们中很多人其实都很多才多艺。

Donny: You're right. As a matter of fact, many famous actors started out as extras.

WQ: 没错，很多大腕儿都是从跑龙套开始。对了，"大腕儿" 美语怎么说?

Donny: 大腕儿是 Big Shot. B-I-G, big, S-H-O-T, shot， big-shot.

WQ: Big shot! 这个好记。唉，我也好想当明星啊！可是以我这样的条件，最多也只能当个替身。那 Donny,替身又该怎么说呢？

Donny: 替身是 "stunt-double." Stunt-doubles are used when special skills are needed for a performance, for example, playing the piano, dancing or car racing.

WQ: stunt是特技，所以 stunt-double 就是替身。糟糕，这些特技我一个都不会，看来，我连替身演员 stunt-double 都做不成！

Donny: 别这么说，你可以跟我学好美语，作为你的才艺啊！Now let's see what you've learned today.

WQ: 第一，跑龙套的/群众演员是extra 或者walk-on.

第二，大腕儿是 big shot.

第三，替身是 stunt-double.
