请看外电的报道:
Kristen Bell has revealed she's asked Gossip Girl bosses if she can make a cameo appearance on the show. The 29-year-old is also known for TV shows such as Veronica Mars and Heroes。
因出演《美眉校探》和《英雄》等电视剧而成名 29 岁女星克里斯汀•贝尔曝料称,她已向《绯闻女孩》的制作方申请在该剧中客串演出。
在上面的报道中,cameo appearance 就是我们常说的“客串演出”,如果演员在剧中 make a cameo appearance(客串),我们就可以说他 in a cameo role(出演了客串角色),而这种 cameo role 通常都不太重要。
Cameo 用作名词时指“浮雕,有浮雕的宝石”,但用在影视剧中,意思则是 a literary sketch, small dramatic scene, or the like, that effectively presents or depicts its subject(可以有效烘托主题的影视剧的小品或文学片段)。
另外,我们也常用 guest appearance 来表示“客串”,这种时候一般由 special guest star(特邀演员)来出演 guest role(客串角色)。
