Is Merlin on the short list? 【误译】默林在写着一份简短的清单吗? 【正确】默林上了决选名单吗? 说明：short list意为“决选名单”。short-list则是及物动词，意为“把某人列入决选名单上”。它的英文解释是to put someone or something on a list of people who have been judged the most suitable for a job or prize, made from a longer list of people originally considered （把某人或某物列入最适合某项工作或奖品的人名单，这个名单是从最初考虑的更长的名单中选出来的）。 例句：His latest novel has been shortlisted for the National Book Award. 他的最新小说被提名为国家图书奖候选作品。
