[译] 这部描写一个失踪女中学生的故事影片,在观众中引起很大反响。
[误] The film about the story of a lost high school girl student has made a great impact on its audience.

[注] lost 是 lose 的过去分词,作为形容词,是"丢失了的"意思,a lost purse 是"遗失的钱包",one's lost youth 是"已逝去的青春"。lost 用来修饰人时有"迷途"的意思,如:a lost child 是"迷了路的孩子"。missing 是形容词,有"失踪的、下落不明的"意思,也有"缺掉、失去的"意思。例如:Three members of the expedition team are missing, two injured. 探险队队员三人失踪,两人受伤。/Some pages of the book are missing. 这本书缺了几页。
