GOSSIP

文本

Kids. Gossip is bad. It spreads like a sickness, and the person who gets sickest is you.

If I can’t tell Whitney to her face that I think she’s super annoying, then I shouldn’t say it at all.

-What did you say?

-Hey, Whitney! I didn’t know you were here today. I didn’t mean what I just said. I only said that because Jason said that about you.

-Okay. I would never say that.

-Jason…I’m sorry, you guys. I don’t know why I am saying all this stuff. I guess my mother didn’t raise me right, you know.

-Alright. You wanna say that again, young lady?

-Mom! How many people are in the shot that I don’t know about?!

-Wait…do you have a problem with the way I’m directing this part?

-No, no! Definitely not. If it’s anybody’s fault, it’s the writer’s. You know that awkward Canadian guy who’s always sitting in the back…

-I’m Filipino, not Canadian.

-Good! Because Canadians are the worst.

-Oh…

-No! I…

-You…really think I’m annoying?

-Yes.

POINTS:

1. to her face 当面

2. super annoying 超烦的

He was super understanding. 他超级通情达理。

3. Whitney vs. Winnie the Pooh

4. have a problem with… 对… 不满

5. awkward 尬

6. Filipino 菲律宾人

对于结尾的一点个人理解，轻拍哈：

结尾出现的是加拿大卫兵royal guard。在国际上，因为拥有一个存在感极强的邻国，加拿大相比之下就比较默默无闻了。如果有人问我：加拿大有什么（文化界）名人？我一下子都想不出来几个。现在最有名的可能就是Justin Bieber(去年来华演出被ban). 其实唱了泰坦尼克号主题曲My heart will go on的Celine Dion, 还有流行摇滚歌手Avril Lavigne艾薇儿也都是加拿大人。视频结尾，那个卫兵也没有辩解就委屈走开了。字幕打出的"Hurting Canada since 1867". 1867-2017. 去年2017，加拿大刚刚庆祝了建国150周年。

再往前看一点，女孩子吐槽的那句"You know that awkward Canadian guy who’s always sitting in the back…"也默默点出了大家对加拿大人的一种刻板偏见：尬，过于安静。至于是不是真的如此，值得讨论。：）不知道你们怎么看？

最后附赠一枚加拿大建国150周年纪念币

还有设计精美的庆祝logo

这个钻石设计代表了加拿大13个省和地区。“而这如钻石一般的形状也象征了加拿大一个个闪耀的瞬间。最后，这些元素整体构成了最'加拿大'的符号——枫叶。”

Maple leaf forever!!! （来自多伦多的设计）

Have a good one! See you soon!
