AZUZ: You know, you can tell some people that something tastes disgusting and they just got to try it anyway for themselves. This plant is kind of like that. It`s called titan arum, aka, the corpse flower.

你知道，你可以告诉一些人某种食物很难吃，并且他们无论如何自己都要试一试。这种植物就是这样，它叫做泰坦魔芋，又名尸花。

It blooms for less than 48 hours, giving off an unparallel stink and then it collapses. For some reason, folks lined up in droves to get a whiff, the natural nose-assaulting nastiness notwithstanding. This happened recently when a titan arum blossomed in South Australia.

它的花期不到48小时，会释放出无法匹敌的臭味，然后就会枯萎。前不久，在澳洲植物园里的巨花魔芋突然盛开，因其花旗短暂，出于某些原因，此罕见现象吸引人们成群结队地排队来嗅它的独特气味。

You wouldn't`t be bloomed to say the arum`s aroma was titanically rotten. But there are times not to follow the flow of the crowd, if no one knows when to hold their nose when sniffing whiffs that reek, perhaps the proboscis suffers no losses when plugging its probing beak.

你不用模糊地表达这株巨花魔芋所散发的巨大的“腐鱼肉气味”。但确实在某些时候，不要随波逐流，如果在嗅它的臭味时，没人知道什么时候应该捏住他们的鼻子。当鼻子塞时，或许将免遭任何损失。
