AZUZ: You know, you can tell some people that something tastes disgusting and they just got to try it anyway for themselves. This plant is kind of like that. It`s called titan arum, aka, the corpse 1 flower.


你知道,你可以告诉一些人某种食物很难吃,并且他们无论如何自己都要试一试。这种植物就是这样,它叫做泰坦魔芋,又名尸花。


It blooms for less than 48 hours, giving off an unparallel stink 2 and then it collapses 3. For some reason, folks lined up in droves to get a whiff, the natural nose-assaulting nastiness notwithstanding. This happened recently when a titan arum blossomed in South Australia.


它的花期不到48小时,会释放出无法匹敌的臭味,然后就会枯萎。前不久,在澳洲植物园里的巨花魔芋突然盛开,因其花旗短暂,出于某些原因,此罕见现象吸引人们成群结队地排队来嗅它的独特气味。


You wouldn't`t be bloomed to say the arum`s aroma 4 was titanically 5 rotten. But there are times not to follow the flow of the crowd, if no one knows when to hold their nose when sniffing 6 whiffs that reek 7, perhaps the proboscis 8 suffers no losses when plugging its probing beak 9.


你不用模糊地表达这株巨花魔芋所散发的巨大的“腐鱼肉气味”。但确实在某些时候,不要随波逐流,如果在嗅它的臭味时,没人知道什么时候应该捏住他们的鼻子。当鼻子塞时,或许将免遭任何损失。
