Great gifts are awesome. Terrible gifts are not. Want to avoid the drama this year? Here are nine most hated gifts you should avoid:
好的禮物人人愛;糟糕的禮物人人嫌。怕今年圣誕選錯禮物嗎?以下是你應該回避的9種最糟糕的圣誕禮物:
1. Ugly Sweaters
難看的運動衫
Some sweaters are so ugly that they are incredible, like when your aunt thinks she knows what is really “trendy” these days and the department store was having a sale.
有些運動衫實在是難看得不可思議,比如我們自認為很懂潮流的姑媽給我們買的運動衫,或者商場打折的時候出售的運動衫。
2. Surprise Pets
作為“驚喜”的寵物
Unwanted responsibility? Check. Destroyed furniture? Check. Emotionally scarring pet funeral after finally coming around to loving the little furball? CHECK CHECK CHECK.
這樣的寵物意味著無端臨頭的責任、遭破壞的家具,當我們終于喜歡上這毛茸茸的小家伙時,說不定還會因它們去世留下感情的瘡疤。
3. Anything “Made With Love”
But Unwearable
一切“表達愛意”卻不能戴上街
的手工制品
I mean, thanks for the effort...
呃,還是謝謝您的心意……
4. A Heartfelt Ballad
一首感人的情歌
You are not English famous singer Elton John, and your gift is not your song.
你又不是英國著名歌手艾爾頓·約翰,你送的情歌又不是自己創(chuàng)作的情歌。
5. Gifts Youve Clearly Grown
out Of
對你來說太幼稚的禮物
Or maybe this big schoolbag is the perfect way to carry books between classes at law school.
或許對于法學院的學生來說,這是一個完美的禮物,這個大書包足夠裝他們的大部頭課本了。
6. Tech Accessories for a Device
You Dont Own
你并不擁有的電子產品的配件
Know what would be even cooler than a case for a smartphone? An actual smartphone.
你知道什么禮物比智能手機的手機套更合適嗎?一部實實在在的智能手機。
7. Tech Accessories That Are
Completely Outdated
過氣電子產品的配件
1998 called, they want their CD case back.
你的CD盒是從1998年借來的嗎?快還回去吧!
8. Regifts
轉手的禮物
Box from a different store? Scotch-taped? We know what you did there!
另一個商場的包裝盒?用透明膠封口?若要人不知,除非己莫為!
9. Anything Christmas Themed
任何圣誕主題的東西
Really pointless the rest of the year.
除了圣誕期間,全年其他時候都沒有任何意義。
