【读新闻学英语】你家洗衣机会唱新西兰国歌你却不知道?还不赶紧试试
2017年10月18日 15:24Fisher and Paykel的洗衣机会唱新西兰国歌,不知道Haier的洗衣机会不会唱“打雷要下雨嘞哦...”呢?哈哈哈~
With so much debate worldwide over the right way to stand or sit during the National Anthem, a Kiwi has posted a friendly reminder on Reddit that, in New Zealand, even the washing machine belts out the national tune.
当全球都在讨论唱国歌时站立或者坐着的正确方式时,一位新西兰人却在Reddit发了个帖子友情提醒说,在新西兰,连洗衣机都会奏出国歌的曲调。

Belt out:大声唱;引吭高歌
Tune:曲子;曲调
A Reddit user posted a video of his Fisher & Paykel washing machine playing the national anthem, along with a drawing of the Kiwi flag.
一位Reddit用户发了一则视频,他家的Fisher & Paykel洗衣机在演奏着新西兰国歌,视频中还出现一面手画的新西兰国旗。

当有人批评他的国旗很逊的时候,他回应说,新西兰举行过全民公投,这面国旗是最后的选择。
