第35章 想聊就聊(28)

去唱卡拉OK

玛雅:好,艾伦。该你了,准备好了吗?

艾伦:我真的比较想听歌。没有其他人要唱歌了吗?

玛雅:来吧!我们在这里两小时了,你连一首歌都没唱!

艾伦:我知道,不过……嘿,史丹利来了!我在等着听他唱。

玛雅:不如帮他点一首猫王的歌吧?他喜欢《国王》这首歌。

艾伦:我来把这首歌置顶。

(几分钟之后……)

玛雅:史丹利还在唱吗?他把着麦克风不放!

艾伦:恐怕是的!

玛雅:他的歌声像生病的牛!我再也无法忍受了。

艾伦:我们可以帮他调一个音吗?他唱高一点的音或许会比较好听。

玛雅:我已经试过了。看来是无药可救。

艾伦:天啊!

音乐风格对服装、装扮的影响

Hip hop嘻哈风

虽然说嘻哈风装扮很自由,但还是有着明确的着装规范(dress code),比如宽松的上衣、连帽T恤、垮裤(baggy pants)、帽子、头巾或肥肥的鞋子等。此外,金色和银色的饰品也是嘻哈风格经常搭配的饰品。嘻哈风也非常重视衣服上的涂鸦,甚至把其当作传递世界观的工具。

country 乡村风

乡村风在服饰上的体现是穿着比较随意,以舒适为主,即使是参加大赛或在音乐厅等重要场合演出,也不必穿着演出服,牛仔裤、休闲裤、皮草帽、旅游鞋都可以上阵。因为乡村音乐中包含牛仔风格音乐,所以从服装配饰来看,也有相应的乡村牛仔服饰风格,比如:牛仔帽、(格子、条纹或纯色)衬衫、醒目的皮带扣(belt buckle)、牛仔裤、尖头皮鞋等。

Heavy metal 重金属风

重金属风格下男性的标准戳桌是紧身皮裤(Ieather pants)、紧身肌肉衫(muscle shirt).女性通常都脚踩高跟鞋(high heels),身穿筒形露肩裙(tube dress).但无论男女,身上都会有呈现重金属摇滚味道的刺青(tattoo).

Online shoppers should be granted a seven-day cooling-off period, within which they would be able to get a refund, a draft amendment presented to the legislature has proposed.

提交人大常委会审议的(消费者权益保护法)修正案草案提出,网购消费者应享有七天的“后悔期”,在此期间,消费者有权退货。

Cooling-off period字面意思为“冷静期”,指消费者在购物之后的某个时间段内有权要求退货(return goods for a refund)或者取消交易(canceI a deaI),所以也可称为购物“后悔期”。另外,cooling-off period也可以指离婚前双方的“冷静期”。

该草案还提出,网络经营者在交易结束后不再使用交易平台的,网购消费者(online shoppers)有权向网络交易平台(e-trade platforms)索赔(ask for compensation),网络交易平台提供者赔偿后,有权向销售者或者服务者追偿。

该草案通过后将主要对商家对顾客式网店(business-to-consumer online store, B2C)及天猫等第三方交易平台有约束作用,顾客对顾客式网店(consumer-to-consumer stores, C2C)因不在工商行政部门(business administration authorities)登记备案而无法受到有效约束。

Re-tweet depression 微博欠转抑郁症

Re-tweet depression describes the situation that you are often thrown into bouts of manic depression when you discover that your tweets/micro blog have not been re-tweeted/reposted enough. This depression often deepens when you find that your blog posts have not been re-blogged, or your Facebook status updates have not been liked.

Re-tweet depression指你的微博发布后没有太多人转发时你就会感到一阵阵的抑郁,我们称之为“微博欠转抑郁症”。如果你的博客文章没有被人转载,Facebook等社交网站上的状态也没有人点“喜欢”的话,这种抑郁情绪就会更严重。
