朋友聚會(huì)的時(shí)候，一旦聊到一個(gè)最近很熱門的話題，大家一般都會(huì)停下手中的碗筷，熱烈討論一番。所以，澳大利亞俚語就用barbeque stopper來形容這樣的“熱門話題”。還挺形象的吧?

Barbeque stopper, Australian slang, refers to a topic of constant and widespread conversation which is controversial and of contemporary significance. Such topic is likely to interrupt a barbeque with loud debate or discussion, thus called “barbeque stopper”。

Barbeque stopper(字面意思為“使燒烤活動(dòng)中斷的事情”)是一個(gè)澳大利亞俚語，指波及范圍很廣、對當(dāng)下有深遠(yuǎn)影響且頗具爭議性的話題討論，即“熱門話題”。燒烤的時(shí)候要是談?wù)摰竭@樣的話題，人們一般都會(huì)停下手中的燒烤熱烈討論起來，燒烤活動(dòng)自然就會(huì)暫時(shí)停下來，由此得名“barbeque stopper”。

For example:

Sibling rivalry is the new barbecue stopper—at least in my circles。

手足反目是最新的熱門話題，至少在我的圈子里是熱門的。
