For some Disney fans, their love for Mickey Mouse knows no bounds. Collectors will race to stores to pick up Mickey-inspired cookware, Apple Watch cases and even sneakers.
有些迪士尼粉对米奇的爱是无穷无尽的。收集迷会争先恐后地奔向店里买米奇合作款厨具、苹果智能手表盒甚至运动鞋。

And, who can blame them? The iconic mouse just celebrated his 90th birthday. 
但这也无可指摘,米奇这只偶像鼠刚庆祝完90周岁。

Even luxury designer Gucci is getting in on the big anniversary by offering a bag to mark the occasion.
就连奢侈品品牌古驰也设计了一款包来纪念这一重大的周年纪念日。

But, if you want this collector’s item, get ready to dig deep into your savings account. This Gucci, 3D-printed Mickey Mouse bag is going to cost you $4,500! 
但是,如果你想买这个纪念款,准备大出血吧。古驰这款3D打印米奇包包卖4500美元!

As you let that price tag sink in a little, let’s take a closer look at what you get for all that money.
我们先不管价牌,来看看花这么多钱买到的是什么吧。

First, the likeness to Mickey Mouse is incredible thanks to the block 3D-imaging technology used by Gucci. 
首先,由于古驰采用了3D成像技术,所以米奇形象的确逼真。

The bag also comes with a debossed Gucci logo on the handle, which has a 2.1-inch drop. 
这个包的把手上还凹刻了古驰logo,把手上下有2.1英寸的高度。

The bag measures 12.2 inches wide by 11.5 inches high by 8.6 inches deep. 
这款包宽12.2英尺,高11.5英尺,8.6英尺深。

So, it has some room to keep your Disney-themed makeup if you have some. There is also a hidden magnet closure to keep everything secure.
所有你有的话,你米奇款的化妆品也是放的下的。包口还有磁铁吸扣来保护包包里的东西。

If $4,500 for a Mickey Mouse bag seems a little steep, well, you may have a point. You could take a family of four people (two adults, two children) to Walt Disney World for six nights and seven days for approximately $2,780, based on current prices for the summer season. 
你有理由觉得一个米老鼠包卖4500美元太贵了。一个四口之家(两个成年人,两个孩子)去迪斯尼乐园玩七天六夜,根据当前夏季价格也就大约2780美元。

This vacation price includes a hotel room at the Walt Disney World Resort, as well as single-day park admission for every family member for a full week.
这个游玩价格涵盖了在迪士尼乐园度假区入住一间酒店费用,以及为每个家庭成员提供一周的单日乐园门票。

 

今日词汇

sink /siŋk/ 

v. 沉没

 

Sink 本身是“沉没”的意思,不过文中的 sink in 是个固定搭配,它的意思是“被完全理解”。

所以 let sth. sink in a little 的意思就是“给大家一点时间消化这个信息”。
