Who will go and get the film developed?

Who will go and get the film developed?

谁去把胶卷洗出来?

 动词develop,我们最熟悉的意思就是“发展”“开发”“培养”之类。在这个句子中,使用的却是相差比较远、但也很常用的另一个含义“冲洗(胶卷等)”,英文的解释是,To process (a photosensitive material), especially with chemicals, in order to render a recorded image visible.即,处理、加工(感光性材料),尤其是使用化学物质,以便使已记录的影像可见。

   名词film在这个句子中的意思也不是“电影”,而是“一薄片或一长条已冲洗的照片底片或幻灯片”(A thin sheet or strip of developed photographic negatives or transparencies.)
