秀恩爱、搞笑、炫酷，今年的中国奥运军团在社交媒体上引发了无数话题。请看本报周五的报道：

    Lovesick. Goofy. Flamboyant. Not usually words you’d associate with China’s Olympic team. In Rio, however, a new generation of Chinese Olympians are breaking the mold and shaking up social media.

    There’s diver Qin Kai, who walked up to the podium with a ring and a rose to propose to his girlfriend He Zi during her Olympic medal ceremony. Was Qin a true romantic or an entitled man gatecrashing a woman’s big moment? It depends on your view. What’s certain is that his gesture would have been unimaginable even a few years ago.

    报道中的mold就是“模具”，break the mold就是“打破常规”。例如：

    Violin makers are very into technique, even if they try to break the mold, the baroque form comes back automatically.

    小提琴制造者十分注重技术，尽管他们试图打破常

    规，但总是回归巴洛克风格。
