哈佛举行的万圣节服装走秀都有什么奖项？"原始尖叫"是什么
来听今天的讲解:
A: Are you free this afternoon?
今天下午有空吗？
B: Yes. Why?
有啊，怎么了？
A: I want you to help me choose clothes.
我想让你帮我选衣服。
B: So, you admit that I’m an excellent judge of clothes?
所以，你承认我选衣服很有眼光喽。
A: What I‘m going to buy are not ordinary clothes. I’ll wear them on Halloween.
我要买的可不是普通衣服，要在万圣节上穿。
B: Oh, I see. You have to dress up as ghosts, skeletons, witches, or devils. Does Harvard have such a tradition to celebrate Halloween?
哦，我明白了。你们要打扮得像鬼呀、骷髅呀、女巫或魔鬼一样。哈佛有庆祝万圣节这个传统吗？
A: How can Harvard miss such a big event? Every year, Harvard will host Halloween Costume Catwalk, in which students dress up as anything they like and to compete for glory.
哈佛怎么能错过这么大的节日呢？每年哈佛都会举行万圣节服装走秀，学生们可以任意打扮，争夺荣耀。
B: It’s a competition? What awards are there?
是个比赛？都有什么奖项？
A: Best Impersonation, Best Couple, Best Group, Most Creative, and Most Scandalous.
最佳装扮奖、最佳双人组含奖、最佳团体奖、最佳创意奖、最不体面奖。
B: Quite formal.
挺正式的。
A: Students like it very much. Some feel they were kids again.
学生们都很喜欢，一些人感到又回到了童年。
B: Everyone seems to value this chance very much. You must dress yourself with elaborate care.
每个人似乎都很珍视这个机会，你一定要盛装打扮。
A: That’s why I ask you to help me.
所以我才让你帮我。
B: I think you’d better design the costume yourself. Maybe you can win the Most Creative.
我觉得你最好自己设计服装，说不定还能臝最佳创意奖呢。
A: I don’t have confidence.
我没有信心。
B: You can count on me. By the way, it’s almost the end of the term. How is your study? Do you have time to prepare for this?
包在我身上。随便问一下，快期末了，你学习怎么样了？有时间准备这些吗？
A: Speaking of this, I，m eager to see the Primal Scream.
说起这个，我很想去看看"原始尖叫"。
B: What’s that?
那是什么？
A: If Costume Catwalk is featured by splendid finery, Prime Scream is famous for the boldness of students who should wear no clothes!
如果说服装走秀的特点是盛装，那原始尖叫就是因学生们有胆量不穿衣服而出名。
B: Naked? Crazy! What the hell do they do?
裸体？真疯狂！他们到底都干什么？
A: Every semester the night before finals，hundreds of students go in droves to Harvard Yard to do one of two things: to run around the Yard completely naked or to watch eveiyone else running around the Yard completely naked.
每学期期末考试前一晚，上百名学生成群结队地到哈佛园去做两件事：绕着哈佛园裸奔，或者，观看其他人裸奔。
B: Completely naked? Don，t they feel cold in such a cold winter?
全裸？这么冷的天他们不冷吗？
A: Ok, ok, most of them do wear shoes and no one wants frostbitten toes. But no shirts, no pants, no nothing covering their private parts.
好吧，好吧，大部分人的确穿着鞋，没人想冻伤脚趾。但没穿T恤，没穿短裤，没有遮住隐私部位。
B: Totally crazy! Why is it called Prime Scream? Do they scream? Why do they do such a crazy thing?
完全疯了！为什么叫原始尖叫呢？他们尖叫吗？为什么要做这么疯狂的事呢？
A: As they run, they scream at the top of their lungs in order to release pent-up energy after being cooped up in the library for so long and to express their frustration about the looming exam period.
他们边跑边歇斯底里地叫，在图书馆里闷了这么久，就是想发泄一下，把气撒在即将到来的考试身上。
B: Do a lot of people go to watch it?
很多人去看吗？
A: A good number of student watch . I’m curious about it. But it‘s a little embarrassing to watch those naked students running.
挺多的。我很好奋，但又觉得不好意思去看人裸奔。
B: I think so. I can hardly imagine it. American people are indeed very open. How do you see it? You said it’s a tradition at Harvard. Most students must understand and support it.
我想也是。很难想象，美国人果然很开放。你怎么看待这件事？你说这是哈佛的一项传统，那肯定大部分学生都理解和支持了。
A: Not necessarily. A lot of American students don’t like it, not to mention me. Once Iasked my roommate whether he would join in the activity this year. He said no.
也不一定。很多美国学生都不喜欢，别说是我了。有一次我问我室友他会不会去参加今年的裸奔，他说不。
B: Why? Did he give any reason?
为什么？他的理由呢？
A: He said“ I want to try such a crazy thing, yet it’s impossible to ignore the hundreds of people gathering around to watch, the cameras hashing, the video-cameras recording. Now imagine, what with the Internet and all, millions of people could have access to these photos and footage. Creepy, right?"
他说：“我想尝试这么疯狂的事，但不能对围观的几百号人及拍照的照相机和录像的摄像机视而不见。想想，因为有了网络和其他东西，会有几百万人看到这些照片和录像。不寒而栗，对吧？”
B: Yes. If they want to give vent to their pressures, they can find a more mild way. It’s really creepy to find oneself naked on YouTube.
是的，如果他们想发泄的话，可以找一些更温和的方式。在YouTube上发现自己裸着的样子，真可怕。
