有些事物虽然貌不惊人,却蕴含着奇特的内在或非凡的价值,和那些徒有其表的东西形成鲜明对比,这种不可貌相的事物就叫sleeper(潜伏者)。
Sleeper refers to outwardly common looking item that possesses something special or unique inside.
“潜伏者”指那些外表看起来很平凡但却蕴含奇特内在的事物。
Example:
That boring looking car is a real sleeper with that big turbo hiding under the hood and nary a sticker or scoop to be seen anywhere on it.
那辆看起来平凡无奇的车是个真正的“潜伏者”,引擎盖下装有巨大的涡轮增压机,这种配置上哪儿也买不到。
