We have "staging," "gain," and "stunt."

This is News Review from BBC Learning English.
这是 BBC Learning English 的新闻解读节目。

Let's have a look at our first headline.
让我们看看第一个新闻标题。

This is from The Guardian:
这篇文章来自《卫报》：

"YouTuber jailed after staging plane crash in California to make video."
“一名油管用户因在加州策划坠机制作视频而入狱。”

So the headline is about the YouTuber who Staged a plane crash and was jailed for it.
这个标题讲的是一位策划坠机的 YouTuber，最终因此入狱。

We are looking at the word "staging."
我们来看看“staging”这个词。

Now, a stage as a noun is that place in the theater where the actors stand and Perform.
“stage”作名词是指剧院中演员表演的舞台。

Is there a connection between that stage and this "stage" in the headline?
这个舞台和标题中的“stage”有联系吗？

Yes.
是的，

So "stage" in the headline is a verb, and it does mean to put on a performance like you do in the theater.
标题中的“stage”是动词，确实有“表演”的意思，就像在剧院里的表演一样。

But it doesn't just have to be related to the theater.
但它不仅仅和剧院有关。

"Stage" can also mean to generally organize and do something.
“stage”还可以指一般意义上的策划和执行某事。

Yeah. So in this story, this YouTuber planned to and then actually crashed his plane.
是的，在这个故事中，这位 YouTuber 策划并实际坠毁了他的飞机。

He staged it, though; it was not an accident.
他策划了这件事，这并不是意外。

It was a performance. He did it deliberately for his followers—his fans.
这是一次表演，他是故意为他的粉丝们做的。

Now, can we have some other examples of "stage"?
现在，我们能举一些其他“stage”的例子吗？

Yeah. So you can stage a walkout or a protest, for example.
当然，比如你可以策划一次罢工或抗议。

This means a group of people organize and then actually do it,
这意味着一群人组织并实际进行行动，

so they actually walk out or protest, usually because they're unhappy about something—they want to see a change.
所以他们会实际离开或抗议，通常是因为他们对某事不满，想看到改变。

And a related but slightly different meaning:
还有一个相关但稍有不同的意思：

"Stage" can mean pretend.
“stage”还可以表示假装。

So we do something fake to trick people into believing it's true.
也就是说，我们做一些假的事情，来欺骗别人相信它是真的。

For example, you can stage an argument like:
例如，你可以“stage”一场争吵，比如：

"You are so annoying!"
“你太烦人了！”

"Don't be so mean to me, Beth!"
“别对我这么刻薄，Beth！”

"Well, you should be better!"
“好吧，你应该做得更好！”

Hmm. There—we were staging an argument. It wasn't real.
嗯，我们刚刚是在策划一场争吵。这不是真的。

Let's look at that again.
我们再回顾一下。

Let's have a look at our next headline.
让我们看看下一个新闻标题。

This is from LBC:
这篇文章来自《LBC》：

"YouTuber Trevor Jacob jailed after crashing plane and skydiving to safety for video views and financial gain."
“YouTuber Trevor Jacob 因坠机跳伞自救以获取流量和经济利益而入狱。”

So the headline is saying that this influencer crashed his plane for financial gain.
这个标题是说，这位网红为了经济利益坠毁了他的飞机。

"Gain" is the word that we are looking at.
“gain”是我们要探讨的单词。

And you probably already know this as a verb, which means to get something useful or positive.
你可能已经知道“gain”作为动词的意思，是获得一些有用或积极的东西。

But here, as a noun, what's the sense?
但这里作为名词，它是什么意思呢？

Well, "gain" as a noun means an increase in something, such as size or amount.
“gain”作为名词是指某物的增加，比如大小或数量。

Now, here the YouTuber wanted to increase his video views and money.
在这里，这位 YouTuber 想要增加他的视频观看量和收入。

That's why he crashed the plane, and that's why the headline says "financial gain."
这就是他坠毁飞机的原因，也是标题中说“经济利益”的原因。

Yes. "Financial gain" is a common expression—it means an increase in money, which is seen as a positive thing.
是的，“financial gain”是一个常见表达，意思是金钱的增长，这被认为是积极的事情。

Other common adjectives which go with "gain" are "net gain" and "weight gain."
与“gain”搭配的其他常见形容词包括“净收益”（net gain）和“体重增加”（weight gain）。

And it's also possible to use "gains" in the plural.
此外，“gains”可以用复数形式。

This could refer to a reward like money or maybe an increase in productivity.
这可以指像金钱这样的奖励，或者生产力的提升。

Yeah. And we even hear "gains" used about going to the gym—it means bigger muscles.
是的，我们甚至听到“gains”用在健身方面，意思是肌肉变大。

Let's look at that again.
我们再回顾一下。

Let's look at our next headline.
让我们看看下一个新闻标题。

This is from The Los Angeles Times:
这篇文章来自《洛杉矶时报》：

"Olympian snowboarder sentenced in YouTube airplane crash stunt."
“奥运会滑雪选手因 YouTube 坠机噱头被判刑。”

So this YouTuber has been sentenced, and that means punished by law,
这位 YouTuber 被判刑，也就是说受到了法律的惩罚，

often, as in this case, going to jail.
通常情况下，比如这个案例，是入狱。

But we are looking at the word "stunt."
但我们要探讨的是“stunt”这个单词。

Now, Beth, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a stunt artist—jumping off cliffs, driving fast cars.
Beth，当我还是个孩子时，我想成为一名特技演员——从悬崖上跳下、开快车。

Well, a "stunt" can be an action like that, usually seen in a film or TV show.
嗯，“stunt”可以指这样的动作，通常出现在电影或电视节目中。

And it's something that looks dangerous; that's why it has to be done by a stunt artist.
而且它看起来很危险，这就是为什么必须由特技演员来完成。

But here, "stunt" has a slightly different meaning.
但在这里，“stunt”有一个稍微不同的意思。

Yes. "Stunt" here can also mean that something is done for attention.
是的，这里的“stunt”还可以指某事是为了吸引注意力而做的。

And we see "stunt" in this headline meaning both the first definition and this one about attention.
我们在这个标题中看到“stunt”同时具有第一个定义和吸引注意力的含义。

So the snowboarder crashed his airplane just to get attention.
所以这位滑雪选手坠毁了他的飞机只是为了吸引注意力。

Now, we often use adjectives before the word "stunt."
我们经常在“stunt”这个词前加形容词。

Very often, that adjective is "publicity."
而这个形容词通常是“publicity”（宣传）。

And a "publicity stunt" is something that is done to get attention from the public.
“publicity stunt”指的是为了引起公众关注而做的事情。

Yes. Often something a bit strange or even dangerous.
是的，通常是一些有点奇怪甚至危险的事情。

So, Beth, I am going to perform a publicity stunt now with this glass—I'm going to eat it!
那么，Beth，我现在要用这个玻璃表演一个宣传噱头——我要把它吃掉！

What? You can't eat the glass. It's constant.
什么？你不能吃玻璃。这是常识。

No. Let's look at that again.
不，我们再来回顾一下。

We've had "staging"—planning and doing;
我们学到了“staging”——策划和执行；

"gain"—something useful or positive for you;
“gain”——对你有用或积极的东西；

and "stunt"—something done for attention.
以及“stunt”——为吸引注意力而做的事情。
