友善讓你懂 │ 解說:

台灣首部「尋獲影片」類型的恐怖片《咒》,一舉衝上影音串流平台Netflix的非英語電影10大排行榜。這部電影在今年三月於戲院上映以來,已經累積了1.7億台幣的超高票房佳績。以偽紀錄片形式拍攝、且全片充滿獨特在地文化恐怖元素的《咒》,在票房跟評價上同時獲得了成功。

《咒》在7月4日上架Netflix。並且迅速奪下好幾個國家熱播電影的第一名。在日本,更有一些名人例如知名遊戲設計師小島秀夫、漫畫家泉朝樹、還有推理小說作家綾辻行人等人,在各自的社群平台上大力推薦給恐怖片愛好者。在上架首週的短短時間內,《咒》就累積了超過三百萬小時的觀看時長,如今是平台上最熱門國際影片第8名、且已成為Netflix上最多人看過的台灣電影。

輕鬆帶著走 │ 學習:

當我們想要描述「持續推進、獲得成功、順利前進」的情況時,可以用make one’s way這個片語來形容,而本文因為前後語境是講述恐怖片衝上串流平台排行榜的表現,因此用動詞scare(使…驚嚇)來替代make,更生動地形容這部電影成功「嚇出好成績」。

例句:
You have to work hard to make your way.
你必須十分努力才能成功。
