今日小常识

　　Plastination is a technique used to preserve bodies after death. It was developed by Gunther von Hagens in 1977, and replaces water and fat in the body with plastics. A recent exhibition called “Animals Inside Out” includes a shark, bear and octopus, as well as the goat pictured above, and allows visitors to see and touch the insides of the animals.

　　人体塑化技术用于保存死后尸体， 是由冈瑟冯哈根斯在1977年开发成功的。这种技术采用塑料取代人体内的水和脂肪。最近一个名为“动物里翻外”的展览包括一条鲨鱼，一只熊和一条章鱼，以及图中的这只山羊，参观者可以触摸这些动物的内脏。

　　今日短语

　　如果什么东西 inside out, 就是说把里面翻到了外面了，里外搞错了。另一个短语是 know something inside out, 意思是你对什么事情了如指掌，对事情的来龙去脉清清楚楚。

　　例句

　　If you’d like a tour of Paris, I can take you. I know the city inside out.

　　Gary knows the history of Manchester United inside out.

　　I feel prepared for my French exam. I’ve been revising all night and I know the vocabulary inside out.

　　请注意

　　如果一件事情被搞乱了，混乱不清或颠倒了，可以用另一个短语 upside down.

　　Katy’s world was turned upside down when her boyfriend left her, she didn’t know what to do.
