A 23-year-old Canadian model knows something about "elf esteem" after having her ears surgically modified to look like the mythical creature's. 一位23岁的加拿大模特把自己的耳朵整形成了和神话里的精灵一样，如今她应该对所谓“精灵的尊严”有所认识了吧。 * elf esteem：原为self esteem（自尊），这里将self改成了elf（小精灵）。 In August, 2011, Melynda Moon decided to get an operation that would make her ears look like a character from her favorite book series, "Lord of the Rings." 2011年8月，梅兰达·莫恩决定做个手术，使自己的耳朵看起来像她最喜欢的书——《指环王》——里的某位人物一样。 "The elegance of the elf ear is something I adore," she explained on a YouTube video documenting the surgery. “我非常喜欢精灵优美的耳朵”，她在记录了这次手术的YouTube视频里解释道。 |
