可能有些粉丝会大吃一惊，大导演昆丁•塔伦蒂诺说他一度考虑翻拍一部旧作作为自己在好莱坞的告别作品。请看本报昨日的报道：

It may be jaw-dropping for some of his fans to hear, but Quentin Tarantino says for a while, he considered rebooting one of his own films as his final work of art in Hollywood.

While a guest Friday on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the Oscar-winning writer-director said he still planned on sticking to his announcement that his 10th film would be his swan song. An exasperated Maher told the iconic filmmaker he just could not believe that was actually going to be the case.

报道中的swan song本意是“非常甜美动人的歌，就像天鹅死前的最后一曲”，引申为“告别作品或者演出”。例如：

His performance last night proved to be his swan song. He died of a heart attack this morning.

昨晚的演出是他的绝唱，今早他死于心脏病发作。
