今日小常识

Plastination is a technique used to preserve bodies after death. It was developed by Gunther von Hagens in 1977, and replaces water and fat in the body with plastics. A recent exhibition called “Animals Inside Out” includes a shark, bear and octopus, as well as the goat pictured above, and allows visitors to see and touch the insides of the animals.

人体塑化技术用于保存死后尸体, 是由冈瑟冯哈根斯在1977年开发成功的。这种技术采用塑料取代人体内的水和脂肪。最近一个名为“动物里翻外”的展览包括一条鲨鱼,一只熊和一条章鱼,以及图中的这只山羊,参观者可以触摸这些动物的内脏。

今日短语

如果什么东西 inside out, 就是说把里面翻到了外面了,里外搞错了。另一个短语是 know something inside out, 意思是你对什么事情了如指掌,对事情的来龙去脉清清楚楚。

例句

If you’d like a tour of Paris, I can take you. I know the city inside out.

请注意

如果一件事情被搞乱了,混乱不清或颠倒了,可以用另一个短语 upside down.
