buff
معنی و توضیح
The word “buff,” in this podcast, means a big fan, or a person who likes something very much and knows a lot about it: “Antonio is a sports buff who knows which national teams have won every baseball game since 1900.” The word “buff” can also be used to describe a person who is very strong and muscular because he or she exercises a lot: “Kensuke is really buff because he spends at least one hour at the gym every day.” As a verb, “to buff” means to make something shiny by rubbing it with a cloth: “You should get your shoes buffed before your interview.” Or, “The floors used to look very old, but we buffed them and now they look like new again.” Easter egg In this podcast, an “Easter egg” is an unusual message, image, or sound that is hidden in a movie, book, painting, computer program, or video game as a joke, so that people search for it: “People say that one of the Star Wars movies has an Easter egg, because when the director threw his shoe across the room they filmed it and used the image as one of the stars seen though the spaceship’s window.” Normally an “Easter egg” is made by boiling an egg until it is hard and then coloring it on the outside. The colored eggs are hidden outdoors and children have to find them as part of the celebration of Easter, the day when Christians celebrate Jesus Christ having returned from the dead. Just like children hunt for Easter eggs hidden outdoors, movie watchers hunt for Easter eggs hidden in movies. 3 these materials on another website or distributing them in any way is prohibited.
