greasy /ˈɡriːzɪ, -sɪ/

2）表示“多油的；油污的；沾油脂的”，英文解释为“covered in a lot of grease or oil”，如：greasy fingers/marks/overalls沾满油脂的手指；油渍；满是油污的工作服；

McDonald’s debuted a collection of “Quarter Pounder” scented candles as part of its Quarter Pounder Fan Club, “because there’s no better smell than 100% fresh beef and a perfect combination of toppings,” according to its press release.
debut
这个词出现的频率非常高，这里就不再细讲啦。它可以作动词也可以当名词，表示“首演，首次公演，首次亮相”（the occasion when someone performs or presents something to the public for the first time.）
类似的还有：
· premiere /ˈprɛmɪˌɛə, ˈprɛmɪə/ 也可以作动词和名词，表示“首映，首演，首次上演/映”（the first public performance of a play or any other type of entertainment），这里要注意的是这个词去掉末尾的 e 就变成了 premier“首相，总理”；另外，premier作为形容词则表示“首位的，首要的”（best or most important），举个🌰：
He's one of the nation's premier scientists.
他是该国最重要的科学家之一。
topping
表示“食品上的装饰配料”，英文解释为“A topping is food, such as whipped cream or cheese, that is poured or put on top of other food in order to decorate it or add to its flavour.”
The six-pack, which will be released later this week, features smells of the many ingredients in the sandwich: 100 percent fresh beef, ketchup, pickle, cheese, onion and sesame seed bun.
注：这款“汉堡成分”味道香薰蜡烛套装中总共包含六个单独的蜡烛，每个蜡烛都代表了一种来自Quarter Pounder牛肉汉堡的成分，分别是：面包饼（sesame seed bun）、番茄酱（ketchup）、酸黄瓜（pickle）、奶酪（cheese）、洋葱（onion）、牛肉（beef）。
six-pack
1）表示“六瓶装；六罐装”，英文解释为“A six-pack is a pack containing six bottles or cans sold together.”举个🌰：
He picked up a six-pack of beer.
他拎起一箱6瓶装的啤酒。
2）表示“发达的腹肌”，英文解释为“If a man has a six-pack, his stomach muscles are very well developed.”举个🌰：
He has a six-pack stomach and is extremely well-proportioned.
他腹肌发达，体型匀称优美。
feature
前几天在《寄生虫》方回应被告抄袭一文中才学过这个词，一起再来复习一遍：
1）及物动词，表示“（电影等）由…主演；（展览会等）以…为重点”，英文解释为“When something such as a film or exhibition features a particular person or thing, they are an important part of it.”举个🌰：
The hour-long programme will be updated each week and feature highlights from recent games.
这个一小时的节目将每周更新，重点介绍近期比赛的精彩部分。
2）不及物动词，表示“担任主演；是（展览、杂志等）的重要内容”，英文解释为“If someone or something features in something such as a show, exhibition, or magazine, they are an important part of it.”举个🌰：
He featured in one of the show's most thrilling episodes.
他主演了该剧中最惊悚的几集之一。
补充：
在英文歌中你可能会经常看到这种说法，xxxa feat. xxxb，此处feat.实际上就是feature的缩写，大概意思是歌曲中穿插另外一个人的演唱或表演，xxxa和xxxb共同演绎，合作演出。据百度百科，feat.的是后面这个歌手（或者组合）他在这首单曲里面或者这张专辑里面并不是主角，前面那个人才是这首歌的灵魂或者主人。
pickle
1）作名词，表示“泡菜；泡菜酱”（a vegetable that has been preserved in vinegar or salt water and has a strong flavour, served cold with meat, salads, etc.）；
2）作动词，表示“腌制”，英文解释为“When you pickle food, you keep it in vinegar or salt water so that it does not go bad and it develops a strong, sharp taste.”举个🌰：
Select your favourite fruit or veg and pickle them while they are still fresh.
挑选你最喜欢的水果或蔬菜，趁新鲜腌制起来。
补充：
· ketchup /ˈkɛtʃəp/番茄酱
· sesame seed bun 芝麻籽面包
The listing on the fan club website recommends burning all the scents at once for “maximum deliciousness.”
The fast-food chain created the bizarre memorabilia in honor of the burger’s nearly 50-year run on the menu. Fans can also display their affection with Quarter Pounder mittens, locket, calendar, sticker, pin and shirt found on the fan club site.
bizarre
bizarre /bɪˈzɑː/ 表示“怪异的”，英文解释为“Something that is bizarre is very odd and strange.”举个🌰：
The game was also notable for the bizarre behaviour of the team's manager.
这场比赛另一值得注意的地方是该队经理人异乎寻常的表现。
此前在印度妇女在抖音上找到了“失踪”三年的丈夫一文中，就提到，According to a report in the New Indian Express, however, the bizarre case of a missing husband ended up being solved with a video on short-form mobile video app, TikTok. 文中提到的几个可以用来替换strange的词：outlandish/ bizarre/ uncanny.
· outlandish表示“稀奇古怪的；不寻常的；难以接受的”，英文解释为“strange and unusual and difficult to accept or like”，如：an outlandish hairstyle/outfit 古怪的发型/装束。
