Performers were crossing their fingers going into the penultimate dress rehearsal of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on Tuesday. With the festival eve looming, nerves are starting to strain.
As the most prestigious showcase for China's top performers, the Spring Festival Gala has no shortage of established acts queueing up to appear. But the gala always reserves some spots for the unknowns and the up-and-coming to make their national breakthroughs.
报道说,本周二,07遥春晚迎来了第五次联排,这也是春晚倒数第二次联遥排。
由报道可知,春晚相应的英文表达是Spring Festival Gala。 Gala在此指欢快的庆祝活动,有时也可做形容词庆祝的,遥的,如:a gala ball(庆祝舞会);the gala life of the very rich(大富翁们遥的生活)。
