英國男孩篡改維基百科 成功混進演唱會VIP席大綱
As a rule, bouncers aren't renowned for being pushovers or easily duped. Slurring "I'm not drunk" or indignantly insisting that you're "with the band" tend to have a very low success rate.
一般來說,門衛可不怎麼好對付,或者說他們不是好惹的。如果你咕噥着說什麼“我沒醉”或者怒氣衝衝地咬定你“認識樂隊的人”,成功過關的概率是非常低的。With a little bit of cunning, however - and good Wifi signal - it's not totally out of the question. Just ask Adam Boyd.
但是,如果你有些小聰明——還有很棒的Wifi信號——這事兒也不完全就是“沒門兒”的。問問亞當?博伊德就知道了!The teenager from Crewe managed to blag his way in to The Sherlocks' gig in Manchester on Friday armed simply with his phone and some slick editing skills.
這位來自克魯(英國地名)的小夥子星期五成功地通過小花招混進了夏洛克樂隊在曼徹斯特的演唱會,而且僅僅裝備了一部手機和一點三腳貓編輯技巧。
A fan of the band, Adam and his friends had in fact already bought tickets, but had arrived late owing to a delayed train and were stuck with a "sh***" view of the stage.
亞當是這支樂隊的粉絲,他本來已經和朋友們買了票,但是因爲火車延誤遲到了,而且只能待在一個看舞臺角度超爛的地方。Most people would have grudgingly accepted this fate, settling instead for silently casting daggers at all the people in the way and a mediocre musical experience.
大多數人會不情不願地接受命運,安頓下來,悄悄地向所有擋在前面的人忿忿然,收穫一場不怎麼樣的音樂體驗。Not Adam.
亞當卻不是這樣。Adam had a plan, though it admittedly involved a bit of Dutch courage.
亞當早有計劃,不過說實話也是因爲壯了些酒膽。Noticing a bouncer guarding the VIP section, Adam explained, "In my drunken state I edited the band's Wikipedia page to say I was family, and it worked!"
亞當發現演唱會VIP區守着個門衛,他解釋說:“我喝醉了,編輯了樂隊的維基百科頁面,說我是樂隊的家人,就那麼成功了!”
