JESSICA: Yep! Reality shows definitely give a lot of people a chance to enjoy their 15 minutes of fame!
YR: 嗯,没错! 听说Anna原来都没被选进剧本,可后来她就一直巴结男主角Andy,这么才慢慢得到角色的!
JESSICA: Hmm. Sounds like she's riding on Andy's coattails! Coattail is spelled c-o-a-t-t-a-i-l, coattail. To ride on someone's coattails means to use someone else's success to get ahead.
YR: 哦,就是趋炎附势的意思喽! So, Anna would not get a role in the drama without riding on the leading man's coattails! 这么说对吗?
JESSICA: Exactly! Now tell me what you've learned today!
YR: 第一,抢风头是steal someone's thunder.
第二,短暂出名可以说15 minutes of fame;
第三,趋炎附势叫ride on someone's coattails!
