Mascot

    吉祥物1月22日，央视春晚微博放出一条关于2016猴年春晚吉祥物康康的3D图。丑萌的造型再加上耳朵下方两个不知名的球状物，让网友纷纷吐槽。请看本报昨日的报道。

    A 3-D monkey mascot created for this year’s Spring Festival Gala is being widely criticized online, in part, because of its strange facial features.

    The mascot, Kangkang, debuted Thursday. It’s based on a colored ink prototype painted by well-known Chinese artist Han Meilin. The 80-year-old is the man behind the famous “fuwa,” the mascots for the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.

    For the Spring Festival mascot, his design is a smiling monkey with only its round, hairy head in view, with his face in yellow, emerald green and rose.

    报道中的mascot就是“吉祥物”。例如：

    I hope this mascot can bring people good luck.

    我希望这个吉祥物能给大家带来好运。
