◆典句赏析

1.Shortly after,she was chosen to act the role of Wang Yuyan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,a drama based on the same-titled novel by Jin Yong.不久，她被挑选担任《天龙八部》中的王语嫣角色，这是一部根据金庸同名小说改编的戏剧。

shortly after是固定搭配形式，意为“不久之后”，作时间状语修饰整个句子。act the role of表示“扮演……角色”，相当于play the role of。a drama based on the same-titled novel by Jinyong是Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils的同位语。

2.Her fame and popularity went up through her starring role in the 2004 drama series adaptation of the video game,The Legend of Sword and Fairy.2004年，她通过主演电视连续剧《仙剑奇侠传》而声名鹊起，这部剧是根据一部同名电子游戏改编的。

through在此作为介词，意为“经过，经由，凭借（某种途径或方式）”，其后常接名词性词语；adaptation of the video game是drama series的同位语。

3.After taking up singing and dancing lessons for a year,her album Liu Yifei was released in mainland China...in August 2006.在着手上了一年的唱歌和舞蹈课后，她的音乐专辑《刘亦菲》于2006年8月在中国大陆……发行了。

take up是固定词组，意为“开始从事，开始干（工作）”。singing和dancing均为动名词，作定语修饰名词lessons，表示一种“分类”。
