其实在口语当中sb. is plucked from obscurity
很经常用来描述，一个很有才能的人从默默无闻到被发掘的过程。
pluck v. 拔
其实看到这个单词，第一反应是拔眉毛，不知道是不是欧美的美妆博主视频看多了….
pluck one’s eyebrows
拔眉毛
还有一些人有拔白头发的习惯
eg: She plucked out a grey hair.
她拔下一根白头发。
obscurity 阴暗；昏暗；
用来指代：
the state in which sb./sth. is not well known or has been forgotten
不为人所知，默默无闻；被大众遗忘
的状态
eg: He spent most of his life working in obscurity.
他一生当中的大部分时间都是在默默无闻地工作。
eg: The latter half of his life was spent in obscurity and loneliness.
他的后半生，无人问津，孤苦无依。
所以sb. is plucked from obscurity就明白什么意思了：从这种默默无闻的状态当中脱离出来。
这个表达经常用于被动语态。
eg: He was plucked from obscurity to star in the film.
他被挖掘出来，主演这部电影。
eg: The actress was only 17 when she was plucked from obscurity and made a star.
这位女演员被星探挖掘，一举成名的时候，只有17岁。
eg: For the lucky few, there's the chance of being plucked from obscurity and thrown into the glamorous world of modelling.
对于那些幸运的少数人来说，他们有机会脱颖而出，进入魅力十足的模特行业。
今天剧中修饰performance 用了一个形容词叫做：stirring
这其实是一个比较常见的搭配
stir 本意大家都知道：搅和
stirring [ˈstɜ:rɪŋ] 指的是 活泼的；活跃的；
causing strong feelings; exciting
eg: a stirring performance / song
一次活泼生动的表演；一首充满活力的歌
eg: The Prime Minister made a stirring speech.
