To host or not to host, that is the question。主持還是不主持,這是個(gè)問題。
Ellen DeGeneres admits she had difficulty deciding whether to host the Academy Awards for a second time. Although her performance in 2007 received positive reviews and even earned her a Primetime Emmy nomination, the TV star just wasn't sure if she wanted to do a repeat performance。艾倫·狄珍妮絲承認(rèn),她在做是否第二次出任奧斯卡主持人的這個(gè)決定時(shí)感到困難。雖然她在主持2007年的奧斯卡時(shí)贏得眾多好評(píng),甚至還獲得了艾美獎(jiǎng)提名,但這位電視明星還不能肯定自己是否愿意做一件重復(fù)的事情。
So like many people faced with a big decision, she made a pros-and-cons list。和許多面臨重大抉擇的人一樣,她列出一份利弊清單。
