Last month I watched the 2022 movie Elvis on TV. It is available on several streaming services. Austin Butler, the actor who played Elvis Presley, did a fantastic job. I was not surprised when he won the Golden Globe award for best actor in the drama category. Most older people will be familiar with Elvis Presley. He died in 1977 at the young age of 42 from heart disease but he is still called The King of Rock‘n’Roll. His other nickname is Elvis the Pelvis. A pelvis is the set of bones that connects the legs and spine.
People called him Elvis the Pelvis because he was able to move his hips and legs in a very unusual way while singing. Elvis was married to Priscilla Presley and had only one child, Lisa Marie Presley. She was only nine when Elvis died. I was shocked to read the news on January 12 that she died of cardiac arrest at the age of 54. She tragically died just one day after the actor who played her father in the movie Elvis won the Golden Globe award for best actor. A cardiac arrest means the sudden and quick loss of heart function. She had four failed marriages and had admitted to using drugs.
One of her husbands was Michael Jackson, the superstar who also died of cardiac arrest in 2009 at the age of 50. They were married for just two years. Lisa Marie had a striking resemblance to her father Elvis. The expression “striking resemblance” means she looked very much like her father. She is now with her father if you believe in God.

上个月我在电视上看了二○二二年的电影《猫王》，它在好几个串流平台上都可以收看。饰演艾维斯‧皮礼士利的演员奥斯汀毕拿，演绎十分精采。对于他赢得金球奖戏剧类最佳男演员，我毫不意外。大部份年长的人对「猫王」艾维斯‧皮礼士利绝不陌生。他于一九七七年因心脏病发，以四十二岁之龄早逝，但无阻他被称为「摇滚乐之王」。他的另一个暱称是Elvis the Pelvis——a pelvis就是连接下肢与脊柱的盘骨。
人们叫他做Elvis the Pelvis，因为他可以在唱歌的时候用很奇特的方式摆动他的臀部与双脚。艾维斯只曾跟普里西拉结婚，且只有一个女儿，丽莎‧玛莉‧皮礼士利。猫王逝世时，她只得九岁。当我于一月十二日读到新闻报道，她因死于心搏骤停（cardiac arrest）而终年五十四岁时，我非常震惊。那位于《猫王》中饰演她父亲的演员刚刚赢得金球奖影帝后的一天，她便英年早逝。A cardiac arrest是指心脏突然停止跳动。她有过四段婚姻，但都离婚收场，生前亦曾承认有滥药的习惯。
她的其中一任丈夫是米高积逊，这位天王巨星于二○○九年同样死于心脏骤停（cardiac arrest），终年五十岁。他们的婚姻只维持了两年。丽莎跟她的父亲猫王有a striking resemblance——习语 striking resemblance是指她跟她父亲惊人地相似。若你相信上帝，那她现在已经与她的父亲在一起了。
