'Kung Fu Hustle' star Huang Shengyi opens up about stifling marriage
Chinese actress Huang Shengyi, known for her role in "Kung Fu Hustle," recently revealed on a TV show that her marriage to actor-turned-businessman Yang Zi feels more like a business relationship than a romantic one.
Appearing on "Goodbye My Love 4," which aired on Oct. 17, Huang shared that for the past decade, her career has been managed by Yang's company, with decisions about her professional life being made without her input. Contracts were often signed on her behalf, leaving her little choice but to comply.
Huang recounted a particularly difficult experience last year when Yang signed her up for the reality show "Sisters Who Make Waves," despite a conflict with her film schedule. This forced her to juggle shooting movies during the day and rehearsing at night, leading to exhaustion and missed rehearsals that affected her team’s performance.
In addition to professional frustrations, Huang expressed disappointment with Yang's lack of involvement in raising their two sons. She revealed that Yang had never taken their children to a playground, leaving her to handle all parenting responsibilities.
Huang said she had attempted multiple times to communicate her feelings to Yang but had been unsuccessful. "To me, he's my husband. But to him, I'm just an employee," she confessed.
When asked what Yang feared losing the most, Huang humorously responded, "Money," and added that his favorite flower was "the flower of money." She also admitted she didn’t enjoy livestreaming to sell products but participated because Yang insisted.
Huang also recalled a past incident where Yang publicly belittled her and other celebrities for being "poorly educated." When asked if she was included in that statement, Yang nonchalantly replied: "The earlier someone enters the entertainment industry, the less educated they tend to be—so there's no reason to be upset about it."

'Kung Fu Hustle' star Huang Shengyi opens up about stifling marriage
《功夫》明星黃聖依自曝“窒息婚姻”
open up 指“敞開心扉、坦誠地談論”，可以用confide（傾訴）、reveal（揭示）、share（分享）等詞替換。
stifling 的意思是“令人窒息的、壓抑的”，它源於 stifle，意為“窒息”或“抑制”，如：
Regulations on children stifled creativity.
給孩子們定的各種規矩扼殺了他們的創造力。
再看一個《生活大爆炸》裡的句子：
文中stifling marriage意思是“窒息的婚姻”，也可以說suffocating marriage。

Chinese actress Huang Shengyi, known for her role in "Kung Fu Hustle," recently revealed on a TV show that her marriage to actor-turned-businessman Yang Zi feels more like a business relationship than a romantic one.
中國演員黃聖依，因在電影《功夫》中的角色而廣為人知，近日在電視節目中透露，她與由演員轉型為企業家的楊子之間的婚姻，更像是一段“合作關係”而非浪漫關係。
這句話的主幹是：Chinese actress Huang Shengyi recently revealed on a TV show that…中國演員黃聖依在一檔電視節目中透露…。
“known for her role in ‘Kung Fu Hustle’”是分詞形式的後置定語，修飾Huang Shengyi，對其身份進行介紹：因在電影《功夫》中的角色而廣為人知的黃聖依。
“her marriage to actor-turned-businessman Yang Zi feels more like a business relationship than a romantic one”是show的賓語從句，補充show的內容。
actor-turned-businessman意思是“演員轉型的商人”，“A-turned-B”是一個合成名詞，表示“由A變成的B”，即，一開始是A，後來成了B。
《經濟學人》一篇關於科技公司的文章中出現過這種用法：
With such opportunities about, gushes Patty Sakunkoo, a PhD-student-turned-entrepreneur who has created multiple photo and video apps, "you can't help but catch the startup bug while at Stanford."
“面對這樣的機會，”帕蒂·薩庫古(Patty Sakunkoo)難掩激動地說道，“你還在斯坦福讀書的時候，就會情不自禁地加入創業大流。” 帕蒂·薩庫古曾是一名博士生，現轉身變成一個企業家，建立了多個照片和影片應用。
在a PhD-student-turned-entrepreneur中，A為PhD-student “博士生”，B為entrepreneur，“創業家”，合起來意思是：由一名博士生轉身而變的企業家。
《經濟學人》關於團隊多元化的文章中也出現過這個用法：
In his new book “Rebel Ideas: The Power of Diverse Thinking”, Matthew Syed, a sportsman-turned-journalist, argues that the key to dealing with this problem is “cognitive diversity”.
馬修·賽義德(Matthew Syed)曾經是一位運動員，現在已轉型為一名記者，他在新書《反叛想法：多元思維的力量》(Rebel Ideas: The Power of Diverse Thinking)中指出，解決這個問題的關鍵是“認知多樣性”。
《紐約時報》在一篇關於烏克蘭局勢的報道中也採用了這種說法：
The Comedian-Turned-President Is Seriously in Over His Head
喜劇演員出身的總統正忙得焦頭爛額
more like a business relationship than a romantic one，more…than…表示“更是…，而不是…”，這句話是說：更像是商業關係而不是愛人關係。

Appearing on "Goodbye My Love 4," which aired on Oct. 17, Huang shared that for the past decade, her career has been managed by Yang's company, with decisions about her professional life being made without her input. Contracts were often signed on her behalf, leaving her little choice but to comply.
在10月17日播出的《再見愛人4》節目中，黃聖依坦言，過去十年，她的職業生涯一直由楊子的公司管理，所有工作安排均由對方決定，幾乎沒有尋問她的意見，甚至有時合同都是直接代簽的，她別無選擇只能服從。
這句話的主幹是：Huang shared that…黃聖依分享…。
主幹前面有個狀語結構，補充Huang shared時的狀態：Appearing on "Goodbye My Love 4"，意思是：參加《再見愛人4》時。
"Goodbye My Love 4"後面又嵌套了個定語從句，補充這部綜藝節目的資訊：which aired on Oct. 17，意思是：《再見愛人》於10月17號播出。
再來看黃聖依shared的內容：her career has been managed by Yang's company，這部分是shared的賓語從句，意思是：她的職業生涯一直由楊子的公司管理。
後面跟了一個with結構進行補充：with decisions about her professional life being made without her input 所有工作安排均由對方決定，幾乎沒有尋問她的意見。
再來看語言點：
air作動詞講有to broadcast a program的意思，指“播放”，可用主動（sth airs）也可用被動（sth be aired），例句：
The program is due to air next month.
這個節目定於下月播出。
input 的本義是“投入、輸入”，這裡延伸為在決策過程中投入的“意見、建議”，例如：
We listen to our employees and value their input.
我們聽取員工的想法,重視他們的意見和建議。
little but to 意思是“幾乎沒有…只能…”，表達一種無可奈何的選擇。little 表示幾乎沒有其他選項，而 but to 表示“除了”。看兩個例句：
Due to her condition, she has little option but to follow a strict diet.
由於身體狀況，她幾乎別無選擇，只能遵循嚴格的飲食。
With rising rent prices, many people have little choice but to move to smaller apartments.
隨著房租上漲，許多人幾乎別無選擇，只能搬進更小的公寓。

Huang recounted a particularly difficult experience last year when Yang signed her up for the reality show "Sisters Who Make Waves," despite a conflict with her film schedule. This forced her to juggle shooting movies during the day and rehearsing at night, leading to exhaustion and missed rehearsals that affected her team’s performance.
黃聖依回憶去年一段艱難的經歷，楊子未經她同意便為她報名了與拍攝檔期衝突的真人秀《乘風破浪的姐姐》，導致她白天拍電影、晚上排練，極度疲憊，甚至錯過了一些排練，影響了隊伍的表現。
sign up for 意思是“報名參加”，Yang signed her up for the reality show "Sisters Who Make Waves"意思是：楊子為她報名真人秀節目《乘風破浪的姐姐》。
juggle 是個非常形象的詞，它的本義是“拋接雜耍”，即用手快速連續拋接多個物體，這裡它表示“同時應付多件事情”或“兼顧多項任務”，描述了黃聖依在日間拍電影（shooting movies）和夜間排練（rehearsing）之間來回奔波的狀態。
該語境下，juggle也可以用manage或handle替換，但 juggle 更生動，強調了任務的複雜性。
舉個例子，當代社會對女性的要求很高，既要工作還要顧家，英文可以說：
Working mothers now have to juggle their jobs, their children's needs and their housework.
形容某人同時交往多個異性，也可以用這個詞，《摩登家庭》第五季中，Claire是這樣評價Phil的：
juggler在某些語境下也可以表示“時間管理大師”“海王”。
leading to exhaustion and missed rehearsals中，exhaustion和missed rehearsals都是名詞結構，作leading to的賓語，字面意思是：導致精疲力盡和錯過的排練。

In addition to professional frustrations, Huang expressed disappointment with Yang's lack of involvement in raising their two sons. She revealed that Yang had never taken their children to a playground, leaving her to handle all parenting responsibilities.
除了職業上的不滿，黃聖依還對楊子在養育兩個兒子方面的缺席感到失望。她透露，楊子從未帶孩子們去過遊樂場，育兒責任幾乎全由她承擔。
6
Huang said she had attempted multiple times to communicate her feelings to Yang but had been unsuccessful. "To me, he's my husband. But to him, I'm just an employee," she confessed.
黃聖依表示，她曾多次試圖與楊子溝通自己的感受，但始終未果。“對我來說，他是丈夫，但在他眼中，我只是員工。”她坦言。
7
When asked what Yang feared losing the most, Huang humorously responded, "Money," and added that his favorite flower was "the flower of money." She also admitted she didn’t enjoy livestreaming to sell products but participated because Yang insisted.
當被問到楊子最害怕失去什麼時，黃聖依調侃道：“錢。”她還補充道，楊子最喜歡的花是“有錢花”。她也承認自己不喜歡直播帶貨，但在楊子的堅持下仍參與其中。
8
Huang also recalled a past incident where Yang publicly belittled her and other celebrities for being "poorly educated." When asked if she was included in that statement, Yang nonchalantly replied: "The earlier someone enters the entertainment industry, the less educated they tend to be—so there's no reason to be upset about it."
黃聖依還提到，楊子曾公開貶低她和其他藝人“文化水平低”，當她問楊子是否包括她在內時，楊子輕描淡寫地回答：“越早進入娛樂圈，文化水平越低——沒必要因此不開心。”
incident 後面的定語從句用 where 引導，where可以用來引導一個抽象的地點概念，指代“事件”中具體的情況或情境。文中where 是說，在黃聖依回憶的這件事中，楊子公開貶低她和其他名人“受教育程度低”。
belittle意思是“把…看得無足輕重、貶低”，如：
Don't belittle his achievements.
不要貶低他的成就。
再看一個《生活大爆炸》裡的句子：
字首“be-”表示“使…變成、把…當作”，比如 befriend sb 和…做朋友，bewitch 施魔法，看個《哈利波特與魔法石》中的例句：
Mainly to avoid all the staring eyes, Harry looked upward and saw a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars. He heard Hermione whisper, "It's bewitched to look like the sky outside. I read about it in Hogwarts, A History."
哈利為避開他們的目光，便抬頭朝上看，只見天鵝絨般漆黑的天花板上綴著點點星辰。他聽見赫敏在小聲說：“這裡施過魔法，看起來跟外邊的天空一樣，我在《霍格沃茨，一段校史》裡讀到過。”
再看一個《經濟學人》關於“維秘秀”的報道里的句子：
Befeathered models, known as “angels”, shimmy down a runway to promote America’s biggest underwear retailer.
揹著羽毛翅膀的模特被人們稱為“天使”，她們在T臺上走著貓步，為美國最大的內衣零售商做宣傳。
在一個名詞前面加上字首“be-”，後面加上形容詞字尾“-ed”，就可以表示“覆蓋著…的，穿/戴著…的”，befeathered models 意思是：戴著羽毛的模特。再比如：
besuited men and bejewelled ladies
穿著西裝的男士和戴著珠寶的女士
a bespectacled librarian
戴眼鏡的圖書管理員
