▍原文 US film superstar Tom Cruise has received his first-ever Oscar statuette. Upon taking the stage, Cruise received a minutes-long standing ovation and raucous round of applause from film luminaries in the audience. "It opened my eyes. It opened my imagination to the possibility that life could expand far beyond the boundaries that I then perceived in my own life. And that beam of light opened a desire to open the world, and I have been following it ever since," he said. ▍語言點 1. first-ever /ˌfɜːrst ˈevər/ adj. 有史以來第一個的，破天荒的 2.
