布蘭妮提醒粉絲：請(qǐng)做好準(zhǔn)備迎接她隆重復(fù)出。唉！“小甜甜”這次是否真的會(huì)東山再起？雖懷疑但仍充滿(mǎn)期待…… 有消息稱(chēng)，布蘭妮上周五在其官方網(wǎng)站寫(xiě)道：我希望今年能夠復(fù)出，而且比以往任何一次表現(xiàn)都來(lái)得宏大、精彩。

請(qǐng)看外電相關(guān)報(bào)道：Britney Spears is putting fans on notice: Be prepared for her hot career comeback.

"I look forward to coming back this year bigger and better than ever," writes Spears in a posting Friday on her Web site. She says she wants to go on tour and hopes her new album will be released later this year.

報(bào)道中的“comeback”指的是（明星）“復(fù)出”，也可以表示“東山再起”、“卷土重來(lái)”，或者“再度走紅”。

在此，comeback相應(yīng)的英文釋義為“a return to formerly enjoyed status”（恢復(fù)以前的榮耀）。表示“復(fù)出”時(shí)，comeback常和動(dòng)詞make/stage/announce搭配，如：make a comeback/stage a comeback/announce one's comeback。

既然提到“復(fù)出”，其反義詞“出道”自是不能不提。英語(yǔ)中，“出道”可表示為“to make one's debut”。

看下面一個(gè)例句：The old actor made a successful comeback after twenty years.（那位老演員二十年后成功復(fù)出，又紅了起來(lái)。）
