",sans-serif"="">Our friends in ",sans-serif"="">Canada",sans-serif"=""> have many ",sans-serif"="">regional words and phrases",sans-serif"=""> that may amuse Americans: For example, a knit hat is known as a ",sans-serif"="">toque",sans-serif"=""> in most areas, and flip flops often go by the name "="">",sans-serif"="">thongs" class="hjdict" word="",sans-serif"="">thongs" target=_blank>",sans-serif"="">thongs ",sans-serif"="">.
美国的小伙伴加拿大有许多地方词汇和习语,常常让人忍俊不禁。比如,在加拿大大多数地区,编织帽(",sans-serif"="">knit hat)被称作无边女帽(",sans-serif"="">toque),人字拖(",sans-serif"="">flip flops)叫做丁字鞋(",sans-serif"="">thongs)。
",sans-serif"="">But one province has a word for ",sans-serif"="">sweatshirts",sans-serif"=""> that could cause a ",sans-serif"="">kerfuffle",sans-serif"="">, in the best way.
不过在加拿大的一个省,运动衫的叫法可能会引起一阵骚乱,是最无害的骚乱哦。
",sans-serif"="">Data journalists recently surveyed more than 9,500 people across Canada about regional words and phrases, then ",sans-serif"="">organized those words into maps",sans-serif"=""> that show how popular certain terms are in a given place. This particular map has us itching to visit ",sans-serif"="">Saskatchewan",sans-serif"="">, if only to hear them say “bunnyhug” instead of “sweatshirt.”
数据新闻工作者最近在加拿大各省对超过",sans-serif"="">9500人进行了采访并收集了许多地方词汇和习语,他们把这些习语归纳整理成了一张地图,通过地图可以看出特定的习语在特定地区的受欢迎程度。这张地图让我们心痒痒想去拜访一个名叫萨斯喀彻温的地方,哪怕只是为了听他们说“兔抱衫”而不是“运动衫”。
",sans-serif"="">Yup, that snuggly garment is ",sans-serif"="">commonly called a bunnyhug",sans-serif"=""> in Canada’s ",sans-serif"="">rugged, beautiful Saskatchewan province",sans-serif"="">, CBC News has also reported. Information about the term’s origin is slim, though a 2007 article says ",sans-serif"="">it may have come from a 1950s dance",sans-serif"=""> called the ",sans-serif"="">bunny hop",sans-serif"="">, in which participants wrapped their arms around the waist of the person in front of them.
没错,在萨斯喀彻温这个地势崎岖,风景秀丽的地区,蓬松休闲的运动衫通常被称作兔抱衫,加拿大广播公司新闻也曾报道过。这种称呼的词源鲜有资料可考证,不过据一篇",sans-serif"="">2007年的文章称,这个称呼可能起源于一种",sans-serif"="">20世纪",sans-serif"="">50年代的舞蹈,这种“兔子舞”要求参与者把自己的胳膊环绕在自己前面的人的腰上。
