《华盛顿时报》（Washington Times）上转载了一篇美联社对《小时代4》的图文报道，让我们来瞅瞅吧：）
BEIJING (AP) - Stars attended the premiere（出席首映式） Wednesday of “Tiny Times 4,” the expected final installment （除了可以说分期付款，看这里也可以表达“一部”的意思哦） of one of China’s most successful movie franchises, whose depiction of the lives and loves of four young women has garnered （获得、积累）many fans among the young cinema-going audience. The “Tiny Times” films follow the women from different backgrounds in Shanghai as they leave college and enter the real world （毕业走入社会）, and has been criticized in China as promoting materialism （推崇物质主义） for its lavish depiction of luxury items and lifestyles. Fans are attracted by the relationships between the four friends and their loves, as well as the teenage-like drama. Director Guo Jingming, actresses Yang Mi, Amber Kuo, Xie Yilin and Hayden Kuo attended the red-carpet event (走红毯) in Beijing for “Tiny Times 4: Soul’s End,” along with actor Chen Xuedong. Actress Fan Bingbing, better known outside China, also showed up in support.
“The last three installments made 1.3 billion yuan ($217 million). I think this one should at least make 1.3 billion yuan,” said Fan, whose next film will be directed by Guo. “Soul’s End” is expected to be the last of four installments of the “Tiny Times” series, which is based on a trilogy of books （三部曲）written by Guo himself, an author and entrepreneur. He said Wednesday they initially didn’t think they could achieve the feat of making four movies, and that his career as a film director had just begun. “However, there will be no other film like Tiny Times, in which I have invested so much emotion （注入了诸多情感）,” he said. “Some people say movies tell fictional stories, but they actually become part of my real life.” The film will be released in China on Friday.
