It's a movie star's worst nightmare.
Promoting her new film "The Banquet" at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday, Zhang Ziyi wore the same polka-dotted low-cut dress(低胸裙) that fellow Chinese actress Xu Jinglei wore two months ago.
The Hong Kong entertainment press, known for being harshly critical of Zhang, pounced on(抨击) the apparent slip-up(疏忽) Monday.
"Zhang Ziyi wears Xu Jinglei's old dress," the headline read in Apple Daily's entertainment section.
Xu wore the dress - identified by the Apple Daily newspaper as an Emporio Armani design - at a press conference in Hong Kong in July to promote the upcoming film "Confession of Pain,"(《伤城》) directed by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak of "Infernal Affairs" fame.
Apple Daily also ran a picture of Zhang chatting with Zhou Xun, a fellow actress from "The Banquet," inserting a comic-like dialogue box that jokingly quotes Zhou as saying, "oor you, wearing someone's old dress."
A headline in Oriental Daily News read, "Zhang Ziyi's outfit clashes(撞衫)
, loses attention." The story said, "Zhang Ziyi, who occasionally fumbles her wardrobe, wore the same outfit that Xu Jinglei wore at a press conference earlier. What a big strategic mistake."
Hong Kong media is traditionally critical of Zhang, accusing her of bad fashion taste, poor English and bad habits.
Zhang rose to international fame after appearing in the martial arts hit "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Her Hollywood credits since then include "Rush Hour 2" and "Memoirs of a Geisha."(Agencies)
1、解读“撞衫(outfit clashes)”
outfit尤指在特殊场合穿的)全套服装；“clash”意为“冲突；抵触”。
例句：Zhang Ziyi mocked for clashing outfit with actress Xu Jinglei.(张子怡因与徐静蕾撞衫被嘲笑。)
Zhang Ziyi's outfit clashes with Xu Jinglei's.(张子怡与徐静蕾撞衫。)
2、另外有几个关于报纸报道的表达我们需要注意一下。
