朋友聚会的时候,一旦聊到一个最近很热门的话题,大家一般都会停下手中的碗筷,热烈讨论一番。所以,澳大利亚俚语就用barbeque stopper来形容这样的“热门话题”。还挺形象的吧?
Barbeque stopper, Australian slang, refers to a topic of constant and widespread conversation which is controversial and of contemporary significance. Such topic is likely to interrupt a barbeque with loud debate or discussion, thus called “barbeque stopper”.
Barbeque stopper(字面意思为“使烧烤活动中断的事情”)是一个澳大利亚俚语,指波及范围很广、对当下有深远影响且颇具争议性的话题讨论,即“热门话题”。烧烤的时候要是谈论到这样的话题,人们一般都会停下手中的烧烤热烈讨论起来,烧烤活动自然就会暂时停下来,由此得名“barbeque stopper”。
For example:
Sibling rivalry is the new barbecue stopper—at least in my circles.
手足反目是最新的热门话题,至少在我的圈子里是热门的。
