Chick是“小鸡”,movie是“电影”。Chick movie是什么意思呢?请看对话:
A: Have you seen the new movie starring Gao Yuanyuan?
B: You mean “Let’s Get Married.”
A: Yes. The small-budget film is a box office hit. Several of my friends have seen it and they highly recommend it.
B: It’s a chick flick. If you want to see it, just ask your girl friends or go by yourself.
Note: A chick flick, or chick movie, refers to the kind of movie that targets female audiences. It often features a strong leading actress who faces adversity and overcomes it. It also features a somewhat idealized love interest and at least one heart-wrenching moment when tears flow. There is often no “guy violence” or sci-fi elements in the film. Most important, guys will not see the movie or talk about it with other guys.
