妥协了？游客将可携自用食品进入上海迪士尼

早些时候，华东政法大学一名学生因「禁止携带食物」的规定，进入迪士尼被要求「翻包检查」后，把迪士尼告上法庭。随后，关于迪士尼的相关「霸王条款」引发热议。

昨日，记者了解到，迪士尼方面表示将调整外带食物政策，游客将可携带自用食品进入乐园。

然而，园区表示，尚未收到变更通知，目前仍需人工翻包检查。

In Reversal, Shanghai Disneyland to Allow Outside Food

The Wall Street Journal

Decision follows public outcry over perceived discrimination against Chinese customers

reversal

表示“颠倒；彻底转变；反向”，英文解释为“a change to an opposite arrangement, process, or way of doing something”举个🌰：

Some carers and dependants find it difficult to adapt to a role reversal.

有些照料者和被照料者觉得难以适应角色对换。

Walt Disney Co. will allow visitors to Shanghai Disneyland to bring their own food inside the theme park, in a reversal that follows a public outcry over perceived discrimination against Chinese customers.

The theme park will adjust its food policy to allow visitors to bring their own food “provided they are not in containers with reheating capabilities, do not require preparation, and are for self-consumption,” the Shanghai Disney Resort complex, which includes Shanghai Disneyland, said in a statement. Visitors could bring bottled beverages into the park.

provided

表示“只要，如果…的话”，英文解释为“used to say that something will only be possible if something else happens or is done”举个🌰：

He can come with us, provided he pays for his own meals.

只要他付自己的饭钱，就可以跟我们一起来。

complex

1）表示“（有特定用途的）综合楼群，综合大楼”，英文解释为“a group of buildings, or a large building with many parts, used for a particular purpose”，如：a shopping/sports and leisure complex 购物/运动休闲中心，举个🌰：

The town has one of the best leisure complexes in the country.

该镇拥有全国最好的娱乐休闲广场之一。

2）a complex of sth表示“（某物的）复合体，集合体，综合体”，英文解释为“a large number of things which are closely related formal”举个🌰：

China was a complex of different societies.

中国是一个复杂的多元社会。

3）表示“情结；过度的情绪反应”，英文解释为“an emotional problem in which someone is unnecessarily anxious about something or thinks too much about something”，举个🌰：

I used to have a complex about my looks.

我以前总是纠结于自己的长相。

补充：

inferiority complex  自卑情结

oedipus complex   恋母情结

persecution complex  受迫害妄想症

bottled beverages 瓶装饮料

The policy shift comes after a Chinese law student sued Disney in March over the entertainment giant's ban on outside food at the Shanghai theme park.

sue

表示“诉讼”，英文解释为“If you sue someone, you start a legal case against them, usually in order to claim money from them because they have harmed you in some way.”举个🌰：

The company could be sued for damages.

该公司会因所造成的损失被起诉。

Last month, Shanghai Disneyland apologized for the “inconvenience caused to tourists” and said it was listening to suggestions. “For our visitors, security is not a fun thing, and it is the same for us,” it said through its account on Chinese social-media service WeChat .

Chinese state media investigated the practice last month, decrying it as a double standard since Disney allows visitors to bring food inside its U.S. and European theme parks. The student's legal campaign then went viral on Chinese social-media websites, and was the subject of a recent Wall Street Journal front-page story.

decry

表示“（强烈）批评”，英文解释为“If someone decries an idea or action, they criticize it strongly.”举个🌰：

He is impatient with those who decry the plan.

他无法忍受那些批评这项计划的人。

The backlash against Disney comes as Chinese consumers boycott other Western brands, from Versace to Apple, over their perceived disrespect of China's territorial integrity.

backlash

表示“强烈反应，反对，抵制”，英文解释为“a strong negative reaction by a number of people against recent events, especially against political or social developments”，后可接介词from/against，举个🌰：

The management fear a backlash from fans over the team’s poor performances.

管理层担心球迷会对球队的拙劣表现做出强烈反应。

boycott

boycott /'bɔɪkɑt/在类似新闻报道中多次出现，比如韩国小姐集体拒绝赴日比赛一文中的Korea to boycott Miss International 2019；

boycott可作动词也可作名词，意思是“抵制，排斥，拒绝参加”，台湾及港澳地区常用提到的“杯葛”一词即为boycott的音译，英文解释为“to refuse to buy, use or take part in sth as a way of protesting”举个🌰：

We boycott all products tested on animals.

我们抵制所有拿动物做试验的产品。
