冬奧會美加冰球大戰 誰輸了留下比伯
The winner of Friday's ice hockey semifinal game between Team USA and Canada advances to the gold-medal game at the Winter Olympics. The Loser, apparently, has to keep pop star Justin Bieber.
週五美國和加拿隊冰球隊舉行的半決賽,將決定本次冬奧會進入冰球專案決賽的資格。顯然,輸隊將不得不留下明星賈斯汀·比伯。That's the bet purported by this Chicago billboard, which features Chicago Blackhawks stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, who are on opposite sides of Bieber and the semifinal game.
“哪國輸就留下比伯”是芝加哥一個廣告牌上打出的賭注,這個廣告牌展現的是半決賽對陣,芝加哥黑鷹隊明星帕特里克·凱恩和喬納森·託斯面對面分列比伯左右兩邊。Bieber, of course, is a Canada native who found fame as a teen pop star and then turned into a young bratty adult in the U.S.
比伯原本是加拿大人,青少年期在美國成名,如今身為流行歌手的他是個有點招人嫌的年輕人。
The "Loser Keeps Bieber" idea isn't necessarily new — many have cracked similar jokes, but putting it on a billboard with two famous Chicago hockey players is taking things to a new level.
“哪國輸就留下比伯” 這個主意並不是什麼新點子,此前曾有過許多類似的玩笑。但是把這句話放在印刷了兩位著名冰球運動員的廣告牌上,則上升到了一個新的高度。It's the work of Command Transportation, a freight broker with an electronic billboard that creates some buzzy displays, routinely from the world of sports.
這是貨運代理“運輸指揮中心”的傑作,他們曾使用電子廣告牌創造了很多搞笑的效果,通常應用於體育行業。Command Transportation owner Danny Zamost said it's the first time his company had put Bieber on its electronic billboard.
運輸指揮中心老闆Danny Zamost 說,這是公司第一次把比伯放在電子廣告牌上。"We try to keep this low-key," said another executive, who wished to remain anonymous. "We just have fun. We don't use the sign other than to have fun."
“我們儘量保持低調。” 另一位匿名的經理說道,“我們只是找樂子,除此之外沒其他別的意思。”Even if this is a joke, it's still a good enough reason to root for Team USA.
雖然這只是個玩笑,但作為支援美國隊的理由來說,足夠了!
