Oddly(不尋常的;奇怪的) enough, 2005 marks the first year “since who knows when” that the state of Vermont has sent a contestant(參賽者;角逐者) to the finals. The state’s Education Commissioner(局長) Richand Cate said, “ I certainly did not want us to miss out on this opportunity any longer. I thought it was an intolerable(難以忍受的;無法容忍的) situation not to be participationg(參加).” One can understand his thoughts when one realizes(瞭解;明白) the carze(狂熱;風尚) is only getting bigger. Hollywood is about to unleash(釋放;解放) two more spelling bee blockbusters(轟動巨片) upon(至;向) us.
Bee Season, starring(主演) Richard Gere, will come out in September. It follows the downward(向下) slide(滑;溜) of a mother as her husband withdraws(退縮;退回) into an obsession(著迷) with their daughter’s spelling bee efforts(努力). See? There is a dark side to all this. Then, in 2006, Akeelah and the Bee, starring Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne, will tell the story of an inner-city girl’s journey(行程;歷程) to the National Bee. This one promises to be a real heart-warmer, but it also exposes(揭露;揭發) the pressure and hard work that these kids go through.
Inner-city內都市的(多為貧民居住)
Heart-warmer 令人感覺溫馨的事物
Paige Kimble, director(指導者;導演) of the Scripps National Spelling Bee (and its winner in 1981), says “the number of kids who are fiercely(激烈地;兇猛地) competitive at the highest levels of this event(事件) is staggering(驚人) now. And it’s really become a part of American popculture.” Spelling bee fever(狂熱;發燒) is expected to hit East Asia early next year. You have been warned(警告).
