Ghostwriter
“Ghostwriter”是名词,指代笔作家,即受雇为他人(通常是名人、政客或商业领袖)写作的专业作家。他们创作的内容(如书籍、文章、演讲稿等)正式署名归雇主所有,而笔作家本人通常保持匿名,就像”幽灵”一样存在但不被看见。
-
“The celebrity’s autobiography was actually written by a talented ghostwriter who captured her voice perfectly.” (这位名人的自传实际上是由一位才华横溢的代笔作家写的,他完美地捕捉了她的声音。)
-
“Many politicians hire ghostwriters to help them craft compelling speeches.” (许多政客雇佣代笔作家来帮助他们撰写引人入胜的演讲稿。)
-
“The ghostwriter remained anonymous, allowing the credited author to receive all the recognition.” (代笔作家保持匿名,让署名作者获得所有的认可。)
“Ghostwriter”由”ghost”(幽灵)和”writer”(作家)组成。“Ghost”在这里比喻代笔作家像幽灵一样存在但不被看见,因为他们的工作成果归他人所有。
“Ghostwriter”是由”ghost”和”writer”组成的复合词。“Writer”包含后缀”-er”,表示”从事…的人”。
“Ghostwriter”在出版业和媒体行业中非常常见。许多名人的回忆录、商业领袖的管理书籍,甚至一些小说都是由代笔作家完成的。这种做法在行业内是被接受和认可的,只要代笔关系在合同中明确说明。代笔作家需要具备模仿他人写作风格的能力,同时保持内容的原创性和质量。
- 固定搭配: “hire a ghostwriter”(雇佣代笔作家),“work as a ghostwriter”(担任代笔作家),“ghostwritten book”(代笔写的书)
- 动词形式: “ghostwrite”(代笔写作),过去式”ghostwrote”,过去分词”ghostwritten”
“Ghostwriter”可以拆分为”ghost”(幽灵)和”writer”(作家)。想象一个像幽灵一样看不见的作家,他们写作但名字不出现,就像幽灵一样存在但不被看见。
“Sarah was a successful ghostwriter who helped celebrities tell their stories. She worked behind the scenes, crafting words that sounded exactly like her clients’ voices. Though her name never appeared on the book covers, she took pride in bringing their stories to life.” (莎拉是一位成功的代笔作家,帮助名人讲述他们的故事。她在幕后工作,创作出听起来完全像客户声音的文字。虽然她的名字从未出现在书籍封面上,但她为让这些故事栩栩如生而感到自豪。)
