双语阅读：《速度与激情7》这样纪念保罗.docxVIP

Paul Walker is all over the world. As Universal Picture’s “Fast Furious 7” is expected to screech out of the blocks across the globe, the star stares down from billboards everywhere, a deluxe model of boy-next-door appeal. 全世界都有保罗?沃克的身影。随着环球影片公司的《速度与激情7》登上全球各大院线。，身为主演，保罗的海报登上了世界各地的广告牌。海报中邻家男孩豪华版的保罗目光犀利。The ubiquity of the late actor in the marketing campaign has come as a tasteful delight.
