facial paralysis

面瘫

(miàn tān)

A: I never want to watch another one of these talentless young idols act again. The movie I watched yesterday was so bad I couldn't stand it.

我以后再也不想看这些没演技的年轻偶像演戏了,昨天看的电影简直烂得没法直视。

(wǒ yǐhòu zàiyě bùxiǎnɡ kàn zhèxiē méi yǎnjì de niánqīnɡ ǒuxiànɡ yǎnxì le, zuótiān kàn de diànyǐnɡ jiǎnzhí làn dé méi fǎ zhíshì.)

B: Yet another actor with facial paralysis?

又是个面瘫的演员？

(yòushì ɡè miàntān de yǎnyuán?)

A: Yup! The same face throughout the entire scene. He may look handsome and cool on the outside, but you can't see at all what the character is thinking!

可不是嘛！全场几乎就一种表情,除了帅帅的、酷酷的外表,根本看不到内心戏啊！

(kě búshì ma! quánchǎnɡ jīhū jiù yìzhǒnɡ biǎoqínɡ, chú le shuài shuài de, kù kù de wàibiǎo, ɡēnběn kàn búdào nèixīn xì a!)

B: I get it. It's really important for a work to have a good performer.

我理解。好演员对作品真的非常重要。
