接下來，我們從中挑選幾個語言點進行講解：
01
star

這裡的 star 是動詞，指“主演、擔任主角”，常見搭配有：
star as+角色，表示“出演某個角色”；
star in+電影，表示“擔任某部電影的主演”；
star with/opposite sb，表示“和某人聯袂主演、演對手戲”。
比如在電影《封神》中，於適出演姬發的角色，可以說：

上熱搜
The news about Barbie Hsu's sudden death shocked audiences in Taiwan and China, where many had watched her shows since her early career. In China, news of her death was trending on the social media platform Weibo.
徐熙媛的突然離世令臺灣和中國觀眾震驚，許多人從她的職業生涯早期就開始看她的節目。在中國，關於她去世的訊息在社交平臺微博上迅速成為熱搜話題。
trend此處是動詞，表示“成為趨勢”，結合文中語境，可以理解為“成為熱搜話題”。此外，也可以說：
go viral
be a hot topic
dominate the news/social media
make headlines
capture the public's attention
take over social media

03
break into
Hsu broke into the industry when as a teenager she formed a pop music group called S.O.S. with her sister Dee Hsu, popularly known as "Xiao S" or "Small S." The pair later switched to hosting TV shows and won many young fans.
徐熙媛年少時與妹妹徐熙娣（小S）組建了名為S.O.S的流行音樂團體，進軍娛樂圈。之後轉型主持電視節目，贏得了大量年輕粉絲。
break into the industry是“進入某個行業”的意思，break into和enter的區別是，break into自帶一種氣勢，像一匹黑馬一樣殺入某處，而enter沒有這種感情色彩。
break into的近義詞有：
1）make one's way into
She made her way into the music industry with her unique voice and style.
她憑藉自己獨特的嗓音和風格進入了音樂行業。
2）enter
After years of hard work, he entered the world of film production as a director.
經過多年的努力，他作為導演進入了電影製作行業。

5）enter the field of

04
be survived by
Hsu is survived by Koo and two children she shares with Wang.
徐熙媛的遺屬包括丈夫具先生以及她和前夫生的兩個孩子。
survive在這裡的意思是“活得比誰長”，be survived by是個很地道的說法，表示後者比前者活得時間長，即前者去世了，而後者還在世，通常用於描述逝者的遺屬或親人。
文中這個句子，按字面翻譯是：徐熙媛去世了，她的丈夫以及她和前夫生的兩個孩子還在世。處理一下為：徐熙媛的遺屬包括丈夫具先生以及她和前夫生的兩個孩子。
《傲慢與偏見》中也出現了兩處這種用法：
His own father did not long survive mine.
字面意思是：他自己的父親沒有比我父親多活幾年。
靈活處理一下：他自己的父親不久也去世了。
Mr. Bennet had very often wished before this period of his life that, instead of spending his whole income, he had laid by an annual sum for the better provision of his children, and of his wife, if she survived him.
班納特先生遠在好久以前，就希望每年的進款不要全部花光，能夠積蓄一部分，讓兒女往後不至於衣食匱乏；如果太太比他命長，衣食便也有了著落。
