Cousin

表姐

To get why Jennifer Lawrence is nicknamed "Cousin," or "biao jie," you'll have to get Chinese humor.

要知道為什么詹妮弗?勞倫斯（Jennifer Lawrence ）會(huì)被叫做“表姐”，你得先了解中式幽默。

In the run-up to the 2011 Oscars, hundreds of Chinese Internet users made joke announcements about the results, all claiming they heard them from a "cousin in the Academy."

2011年奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)?wù)浇視郧跋?，?shù)百位中國(guó)網(wǎng)友曾開(kāi)玩笑式地提前宣布了獲獎(jiǎng)結(jié)果，他們都聲稱(chēng)自己是從“在奧斯卡評(píng)審團(tuán)工作的表姐”那聽(tīng)說(shuō)的。

It was a playful dig at how some Chinese people are desperate to show they have powerful family members.

這本是中國(guó)民眾對(duì)某些同胞急于炫耀家世背景的一種打趣嘲諷。

But one Chinese Internet user upped the ante, boldly declaring that Lawrence was his cousin and that she had won the Best Actress award.

不過(guò)其中一名中國(guó)網(wǎng)友更進(jìn)一步，大膽宣稱(chēng)勞倫斯是他的表姐，并表示她會(huì)贏下最佳女主角獎(jiǎng)。

Well, she didn't, but the nickname stuck.

最終，勞倫斯沒(méi)能拿到最佳女主角獎(jiǎng)，不過(guò)這個(gè)諢名就此流傳了下來(lái)。
