"Fruit Sister," or "shui guo jie," is what people in China call Katy Perry -- referring to her tendency to wear fruit costumes and bring giant fruit with her on stage.
In the past, the pop star has performed in sparkly watermelon-cup bras, sung while holding a large inflatable strawberry and even burst out of a giant banana.
以前,这位明星穿着耀眼的西瓜胸衣,一边唱歌一边拿着巨大的充气草莓,甚至从一个大香蕉里一跃而出。
She's also talked about growing and eating her own fruit, so it's a pretty fair nickname.
在2011年奥斯卡(the 2011 Oscars)金像奖被揭晓前夕,数百名中国的网友开玩笑式地提前“揭晓”了结果,他们都宣称自己从一位“评审团中的表姐”(cousin in the Academy)那里知道了结果。这本来是中国民众对一些人乐于炫耀自己拥有有权势的亲戚的打趣式的嘲弄。其中一名网友更甚,宣称詹妮弗·劳伦斯是她表姐,赢得了最佳女主角。额,她最后没有拿到最佳女主角,但是这个诨名(nickname)就此流传了下来。
While doing press for Captain America: Civil War in China, Evans learned that Stan is known to Chinese fans as…”Chubby Dumpling,” a delightful nickname.
My favorite part is that Stan is already well aware of this delightful om-nom-nomenclature whereas Evans is caught completely off-guard. It may seem like a weird nickname to you given that Stan has pretty well-defined, sharp features — something that doesn’t necessarily evoke images of delicious meat treats. However, for the sake of comparison, let’s take a look at some particularly plump Xiao Long Bao pork dumplings.
玛利亚·凯莉(Mariah Carey)在中国被称为“牛姐(Cow Sister)”。中国有一个有些粗俗但是很流行的俚语“牛逼”("cow's vagina" or "niubi"),意思是“TMD的真棒”("f***ing awesome”)。由此,虽然“牛姐”听此来不太雅,但确实对玛丽亚·凯莉不可思议的唱功(despite the sound of it)的由衷赞美。另一个解释则是1992年一部叫“芝麻街”( "Sesame Street")的儿童教育片中,有一集讲了一只叫玛利亚·考威(Mariah Cowey)的爱唱歌的小牛。
13. Little Cow小牛——爱莉安娜·格兰德
生活在“牛姐”阴影下的自然是“小牛”( "little cow" or "xiao niu" ),也就是我们所熟悉的爱莉安娜·格兰德(Ariana Grande)。中国民众把格兰德称为“小牛”,因为她的声线让人想起玛利亚·凯莉(牛姐),就像一名中国的网友说的,听听格兰德对玛利亚·凯莉 “Emotions”这首歌的翻唱,你就会同意这一看法(you'll be tempted to agree.)。
