plot hole
noun [ C ] uk/ˈplɒt ˌhəʊl/ us/ˈplɑːt ˌhoʊl/
(电影、书等的)情节上的漏洞
part of the plot (= story) of a film or book that does not fit with other parts of the plot
While the film does have some plot holes, it is for the most part a gripping and chilling thriller. 虽然这部影片确实存在一些情节漏洞,但总体上还是一部引人入胜的惊悚片。
In an unassuming B-movie, those plot holes wouldn't seem so distracting. 出现在一部低成本的二流影片里,这些情节漏洞应该不会让人太心烦。
