新西兰历来以极限运动吸引游客,现在,一种名为“人肉弹弓”的新游戏让刺激加码。请看本报昨日的报道: New Zealand, the world’s capital of adventure tourism, just got even more adventurous. The land of hobbits and skydiving is upping the ante with a human slingshot. The Nevis Valley on New Zealand’s South Island near Queenstown — home of the world’s first commercial bungee jump — is now home to a new thrill-seeker’s dream called The Nevis Catapult. If you’re the kind of person who thinks bungee jumping is just not exciting enough, the catapult is the perfect way to get your heart beating in your throat. 报道中的up the ante就是“加码”,ante本义是赌局开始前玩家押的赌注。例如: His ex-wife has upped the ante in her alimony suit against him. 前妻在对他的诉讼中提高了赡养费的要求。 |
