公司一位同事要离职了,大家在写卡片送给她。看见别人写的留言里有这么两个词汇:
1. bubbly personality
2. tupperware jokes
问了同事也自己查了查,前者多用来形容女孩子积极向上的、充满自信的性格。
> Someone who is bubbly is very lively and cheerful and talks a lot.
Tupperware (特百惠)是一个以其代表产品塑料食品容器知名於全球的美国家居用品品牌。
在20世纪四五十年代,该品牌的一个销售技巧就是通过家庭主妇组织派对来推销产品。
> A social gathering at which the host (or more typically hostess) entertains
> the guests, and provides them with an opportunity to order Tupperware.
> This was used as an effective sales strategy by the Tupperware manufacturer,
> and provided income to the host(ess) from commissions on sales.
所以 _Tupperware party_ 这个词是有引申含义的,而 _Tupperware jokes_ 在这里指的是以塑料容器为主题的玩笑话。
