标题:Behind the Brain Rot
Oxford’s controversial Word of the Year captures how chronically online life has become.
正文:The image is black-and-white, lending it an air of “historical artifact”: A modern-day Donald Trump standing next to Elvis Presley. The president-elect posted the picture on Truth Social last night. Presley is strumming a guitar; Trump is idling in the frame. Of course, this scene is impossible, and it’s not a real photograph. Elvis died in 1977, when Trump was 31 years old. Nevertheless, here’s Trump, side by side with the King, not smiling, not singing, just … hanging out. There is no punch line, or even a semblance of a joke. It is literally just something to look at.
知识点:air n. /er/
the particular feeling or impression that is given by sb/sth; the way sb does sth感觉;印象;神态
• The room had an air of luxury.房间具有豪华的⽓派。
• She looked at him with a defiant air.她⽤蔑视的神情望着他。
