大派對后的“小聚會”

　　每年奧斯卡頒獎典禮之后明星們都會參加一個慶祝酒會，在這個場合，大家不必致辭，也不用拘泥于禮節，完全可以放松享受。這種活動就叫afterparty。

　　Afterparty or after-party refers to a relaxed social gathering which occurs after a party, concert, or trip to a nightclub.

　　Afterparty（也寫作after-party）指參加完歡聚派對、音樂會或者去完夜店之后舉行的一個氣氛放松的社交聚會。

　　Around the middle of the first decade in the 21st century, media coverage of large, glittery celebrity events such as the Oscar and BAFTA awards ceremonies suddenly started making effervescent reference to the after-party, an eagerly anticipated relaxing and drinking session taking place after the main event. The after-party continues to thrive in 2024, providing yet more fodder for hungry paparazzi and celebrity gossip columns.

　　在2005年左右，媒體對奧斯卡和BAFTA等有大批明星出席的頒獎典禮的報道突然對典禮之后的小聚會產生了濃厚的興趣，這種聚會通常都很受期待，在主要活動結束后供眾人放松飲酒閑聊。這種小聚會的勢頭一直延續到2024年，為四處尋覓猛料的狗仔隊和明星八卦專欄提供了更多素材。
