美国流行文化从A到Z——Like it or lump it
<p>英国著名演员<span word="Kate">Kate</span> <span word="Winslet">Winslet</span>年纪轻轻，却已经创下了电影史上的一系列奇迹：她主演的研册比(《泰坦尼克号》)是史上最卖座电影;她是获得奥斯卡奖两项、三项、4项、5项提名的最年轻演员纪录保持者;从1994年正式出道到2007年1月凭借<span word="LittleChildren">LittleChildren</span>(《身为人母》)中的精彩表演第五次获得奥斯卡提名，她只用了12年时间和19部电影，又是史上第一。这些成就，足以令人对她心生敬意。但她最让我敬佩的地方，却是她对自己身材的坦然态度。</p><p>实话实说，<span word="Kate">Kate</span> <span word="Winslet">Winslet</span>比较胖。以好莱坞明星的标准来看，她甚至可以用“肥”来形容。面对媒体对她身材问题的“穷追猛打”，她平静地给出了这样的回答：“<span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="happy">happy</span>，<span word="with">with</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="am">am</span>.<span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="American">American</span> <span word="f">f</span>'<span word="ilm">ilm</span> <span word="stars">stars</span>. <span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="naturally">naturally</span> <span word="curvy">curvy</span>. <span word="This">This</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="me">me</span>. <span word="Like">Like</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="lump">lump</span> <span word="jt">jt</span>.”(我对自己的身材很满意。我不像美国的电影明星。我天生就比较丰满。这就是我，你不喜欢也只好将就一下了。)</p><p>这番话引起了无数人的共鸣，<span word="like">like</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="lump">lump</span> <span word="it">it</span>也从普通短语一跃成为时髦的口头禅。 <span word="like">like</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="lump">lump</span> <span word="it">it</span>的意思就是“你喜欢最好，不喜欢的话也只好接受，别无选择”，<span word="lump">lump</span>在这里表示“勉强接受”。这是一种独特的用法，因为<span word="lump">lump</span>只有在<span word="like">like</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="lump">lump</span> <span word="it">it</span>(及其变种<span word="If">If</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="don">don</span>，<span word="t">t</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="it">it</span>，<span word="you">you</span> <span word="can">can</span>/<span word="may">may</span>/<span word="mustjwill">mustjwill</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="lump">lump</span> <span word="it">it</span>.)里才有这种意思。</p>
