“五一”長假又將是一個婚禮旺季，歷來搶手的司儀在黃金周更是“脫銷”。仔細想來， “司儀”如今“小荷才露尖尖角”，正趨向成為一大熱門職業，各種頒獎典禮、選美比賽上都少不了司儀。

看下面這段新聞報道，瞧一瞧“司儀”如何用英文來表達?

Riggs, a 3-year-old male bulldog, hardly looks or acts like a beauty king. He is a drooler with protruding teeth and a penchant for attacking noisy appliances.

"The last thing you're going to get with a bulldog is beauty," saidmaster of ceremoniesDolph Pulliam. "But bulldogs have character. They have a certain look...they're the kind of dog you look at and you get scared. "

報道說，無論從長相還是從行為來看，三歲大的牛頭犬里格斯都稱不上是選美冠軍。但頒獎司儀多爾夫·普廉姆卻認為，選美比賽看重的是個性而非漂亮，牛頭犬里格斯的“個性”長相恰恰符合了這一特點。

由報道可知，“司儀”相應的英文表達為“master of ceremonies”，“他”往往主持各種儀式，會在儀式上致歡迎辭或向觀眾介紹其他嘉賓。

“Master of ceremonies”相應的復數形式為“masters of ceremonies”。
