        Reunion? Count me out! 重聚? 別算上我!

        英國的《辣妹組合》重聚少了一位辣妹,經典美劇《老友記》的聚會也少了一位老友 Chandler 的臉面?!峨S身英語》探討與多年不見的同學或同事再次相聚是否真的是每個人的愿望。

        課文內容

        詞匯: reunions 團聚

        What is it about reunions that make some people reluctant to go to? Is it that they're afraid of being judged by people who they met in their heyday? Is it a fear of having betrayed high expectations? Or is it the risk of realising that the sparkle that held the group together is no longer there?

        Fans have been keen on a Spice Girls reunion, but Posh Spice is saying 'no'. Fans have eagerly followed months of speculation about the five British singers getting together again. For this generation – now mainly middle aged mothers – it's a chance to introduce the band to their own daughters. But, unfortunately, it’s not gonna happen. They might see four of them.

        The spoil sport seems to be Victoria Beckham. Maybe Posh Spice became too posh herself to shake her booty on a stage. She's said in the past that she’s got no plans to join with Baby, Scary, Ginger and Sporty.

        "Doing the Olympics was an incredible honour. That's great. Thank you to everybody, but no more," she said after the group performed at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in London in 2012.

        And then there's Friends. Well, no more chats at the (fictitious) Central Perk cafe for Chandler Bing. Actor Matthew Perry has announced that he won't attend the reunion show of the hit American TV sitcom which captured the imagination of audiences in several countries. It ended in 2004 after ten series.

        Perry's spokesperson said he "may tape something" as a tribute to the series' creator James Burrows but… he is otherwise engaged. As some Hollywood actors do, he will star in a play in London which runs until May. It's a story about being middle aged. Enough said.

        1. 閱讀課文并回答問題。

        1. True or false? Fans were disappointed by the news of Posh Spice not joining the Spice Girls reunion because they were sure she would be there.
        False. The reunion of the five members of the pop group was surrounded by speculation so nobody could be sure it was going to happen.

        2.  What are Baby, Scary, Ginger and Sporty?
        These are the nicknames of the singers of the Spice Girls' group and Posh Spice is the fifth member.

        3.  What is the Central Perk?
        The Central Perk is the name of a factitious cafe where the main characters of the American sitcom Friends used to get together to chat and… drink coffee.

        4. What might the actor who played Chandler Bing do instead of joining the other members of the cast?
        According to his spokesperson, he might record a message paying tribute to the creator of the popular show Friends.

        5. What does the author of the article mean by 'enough said'?
        The author implies that being older and having other interests might be a reason for some people not to be keen on going to reunions and this might be the case regarding Matthew Perry.
