15. You are the talk of the town and the pride of our class now.

点睛

此句中的the talk属于口语中动词活用成名词的现象，意为“谈论的话题”，这种用法在口语中很常见。释义时，只要在原词意思的基础上稍加变动，使其符合在句中的搭配就可以了。如：
1) There is talk of bankruptcy. 有传闻说要破产。
2) He has much talk but no action. 他说了一大堆空话而无实际行动。
3) His threats were just talk. 他的恫吓只不过是说说罢了。

考点归纳

pride在本句中是名词，意为“骄傲”。在口语中，pride还可作为动词使用，意为“使得意，使自豪；使（自己）沉迷于快乐或满意的感觉之中”，表达为pride sb. on sth.。如：I pride myself on this beautiful garden. 我为这个美丽的花园而自豪。
另外，pride的形容词是proud，其用法是be proud of sth.或be proud that。如：
1) He is proud of his daughter's ability to speak four languages. 他为女儿能说四种语言而骄傲。
2) She was so proud that her son has so much talent. 儿子这么有天赋令她喜不自胜。
