翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Next Monday morning I definitely need to leave home earlier, so I can catch the live broadcast of the Oscars on the way!
Huahua: What time in the morning? Can you get up?
Qingqing: In Taiwan time, the Red Carpet starts at 7:30am, and the award ceremony officially begins at 9:00am.
Huahua: The Red Carpet is indeed worth getting up early for. Which actor do you most hope will win?
Qingqing: All the nominees are talented, but I particularly enjoy watching performances by seasoned actors who have been in the industry for decades – they’re all acting veterans.
Huahua: Exactly! Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster, nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Actress, are my favorite veteran actors this time. They can interpret various roles with incredible depth
Qingqing: The nominated films this time cover diverse themes, some of which are quite controversial, making it very exciting.
Huahua: Besides having to wake up early, if you’re going to be distracted during work hours to watch the live broadcast, be careful not to get caught by the boss!
