15mins of fame

今天我看到一篇蠻有意思的報導Young 'Slumdog' stars back in Mumbai slums
網址如下:

這篇文章本身很簡單,但是有一篇回文提到了15mins of fame,我覺得蠻有意思的。
所以和大家一起分享。
I totally agree with fraustrated American's comment,it is so disgustng to know that these kids were paid sooooooo little and to have to return to the slums after being treated like royalty. I guess this is the true defination of the term 15mins of fame.

15mins of fame----15分鐘的名氣
當然看表面字義就知道意思,但是,因為最近剛有Andy Warhol展(2009/1/1~2009/3/29. 地點:中正紀念堂第一展廳),所以,我就覺得有點巧。

這句話其實Andy Warhol說的或者說創造的。(創造字詞英文用coin,千萬不要用create哦!)
他是美國傳奇藝術家、普普大師,有關他的簡介,請到這裡查詢。http://www.books.com.tw/exep/prod/booksfile.php?item=0010336242

他有很多的名言,但這一句,最有名。
在未來,每個人都會成名15分鐘。
The expression is a paraphrase of Andy Warhol's 1968 statement: "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." In 1979 Warhol reiterated his claim: "...my prediction from the sixties finally came true: In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes."
