"Some of my mates thought I had been a bit too active on the ladies recently and wanted to punish me," Stian Ytterdahl said. "When we were in the restaurant on Monday, they said I had to get a tattoo."
Incidentally, this is the teenager's first tattoo ever, covering most of his lower right arm. There's a large McDonalds logo at the top, followed by a list of items he ordered off the menu —a cheeseburger and four added toppings.
斯蒂安·伊特多說:“朋友們認為我最近對女生表現(xiàn)得太過活躍,所以想要懲罰我。周一我們在餐廳的時候,他們說我必須弄個文身。”
巧的是,這是伊特多的第一個文身,幾乎覆蓋了他整個右下臂。最上面是一個大大的麥當(dāng)勞標(biāo)志,接下來是他點的食物——一個起司漢堡和四個配料。
【講解】
文中的tattoo就是“文身”的意思,作為人類歷史文化的一部分,文身延續(xù)至今已有二千多年,俗稱刺青,文言文中叫涅。tattoo不僅可作名詞,也可以作動詞,如:He has a heart tattooed on his left hand.(他在左手上文了一顆心。)
文中第二段的topping作名詞,意為“糕點上的裝飾配料”,指的是frosting(糖霜)或icing(糕餅表層的糖衣)等配料。
