程序员摆25台iPhone X求婚 请告诉我“土豪”用英语怎么说
Chen Ming, a young video-game designer from Shenzen, China, recently sparked the envy of iPhone fans all around the world, after buying 25 brand new iPhone X smartphones and arranging them in a heart shape to propose to his girlfriend. To pull off the over-the-top marriage proposal, Chen Ming pre-ordered 25 iPhone Xs, and, on November 3, when the newest Apple handset officially launched in China, he arranged them all in the shape of a heart on a bed of red rose petals, with an engagement ring in the middle. To make sure that his girlfriend didn’t suspect a thing, Chen enlisted the help of her friends, asking them to bring her to the specified location of the surprise. When the unsuspecting girlfriend – named only as Lee – arrived and saw the lavish display of luxury phones and Chen down on his knee holding the engagement ring, she couldn’t help but be touched by his romantic gesture and accepted his marriage proposal.
Chen and his girlfriend are apparently big fans of mobile video games. The two met two years ago through a game that Chen had developed and gaming has reportedly been a big part of their relationship ever since. But why 25 of them, though? The number was reportedly meant to symbolize Lee’s age. So what is the lucky bride-to-be supposed to do with 25 new iPhone X smartphones? Well she and Chen decided that 25 is a bit too much for one person, so they gifted them to the friends that helped pull off the unique proposal.
newly rich: 新富;暴发户 upstart: 柯林斯高阶词典的解释为You can refer to someone as an upstart when they behave as if they are important, but you think that they are too new in a place or job to be treated as important.翻译成中文就是暴发户、新贵的意思,还可以指傲慢自负的人。 tasteless high roller: high roller的释义为a rich person who spends a lot of money,即挥金如土者,与tasteless(没品味的)搭配也可以用来形容财大气粗的土豪。
rural rich: rural意为乡下的,农村的,看来土豪永远摆脱不了浓重的乡土气息…… Beverly Hillbillies: Beverly Hillbillies是一部喜剧电影的片名,中文译为《贝弗利山乡巴佬》,Beverly Hills是好莱坞富豪云集的比佛利山庄,hillbilly是土包子的意思,合在一起就是聚集在豪华山庄的土包子们!
