Detective Pikachu: 'Gross' furry Pokemon divides fans
Pikachu has been the approachable face of the Pokemon franchise for more than 20 years, but a new film trailer has left some fans unsettled.
gross
提到gross你可能会想到国内生产总值GDP（Gross domestic product），作为形容词，它可以表示“总的，毛的；总共，全部”，举个🌰：
A person's gross income is the money they earn before tax is deducted from it.
个人总收入是指税前的收入总和。
也可以指“（尤指违法行为）严重的，恶劣的，极端的，不能接受的”，如：
gross misconduct 严重渎职
gross indecency 严重猥亵罪
a gross violation of justice 严重违反公平
gross violations of human rights 严重侵犯人权
在口语中可以表示disgusting“极其令人厌恶的，令人恶心的，令人不快的”，英文解释：extremely unpleasant/very unpleasant to look at or think about，举个🌰：
"Oh, gross!" she said, looking at the flies buzzing above the piles of dirty plates.
“呀，真恶心！”她看着在一堆堆脏盘子上方飞来飞去的苍蝇说道。
此处应该是表示“肥胖臃肿的，极胖而难看的，臃肿难看的；庞大不雅观的”英文解释为“extremely fat or large and ugly”，举个🌰：
I'd put on ten kilos and felt gross in my bikini.
我体重增加了10公斤，穿着比基尼觉得臃肿难看。
approachable
approach作名词表示“方法，方式”，作动词表示“接近，靠近”，此处形容词性approachable则表示“友善的，和蔼可亲的，平易近人的”，英文解释为“If you describe someone as approachable, you think that they are friendly and easy to talk to.”，举个🌰：
The head teacher is very approachable.
校长非常平易近人。
The preview for Pokemon Detective Pikachu shows the character covered in thick yellow fur, which some fans have called "grotesque" and "disgusting".
trailer & preview
两个词都可以指预告片，
trailer表示“（电影、电视节目等的）新片预告，预告片”，英文解释为“an advertisement for a new film or television show”；
preview表示“（电影、电视节目等的）预告（片）”，英文解释为“a description of a film, television programme, show etc that people will be able to see soon ”；
preview还可以指“预演，预映”，而trailer则还可以表示“拖车，挂车；活动房屋，房车”。
grotesque
/ɡrəʊ'tesk,groˋtɛsk/
1）表示“怪诞的，荒唐的”，英文解释为“unpleasant, shocking, and offensive”
2）表示“极丑陋的，怪异的”，英文解释为“extremely ugly in a strange or unnatural way”，举个🌰：
They tried to avoid looking at his grotesque face and his crippled body.
他们尽量不去看他那丑陋的面庞和残疾的身躯。
BTW，在阅读理解里，如果你有些词不认识也不要紧，比如这里的grotesque，我们也很容易根据some fans have called "grotesque" and "disgusting".中的and前后两个并列，由disgusting来猜出部分粉丝的态度，显然，grotesque也不是什么好词...当然，最怕的就是两个词都不认识...不过也不用太担心，上下文中一般也会给出一些线索的。
While Pikachu has always been described as furry, it is the first time the character has been rendered in "life-like" 3D in an official capacity. Many fans liked the realistic fur.
furry
/'fɜːri/
形容词，表示“覆盖着毛皮的；毛茸茸的；柔软的”，英文解释为“covered with fur or short threads”，如有个说法furry friends 毛茸茸的朋友，通常用来泛指动物。
上文出现的名词形式fur，表示“毛，毛皮”。
render
此处作为动词表示“（以某种方式）表达；表现”，英文解释为“to express or present something in a particular way”，如：a sculpture rendered in bronze 一尊青铜雕像；
render也可以表示“使成为；使变得；使处于某种状态”，英文解释为to cause someone or something to be in a particular state，举个🌰：
His rudeness rendered me speechless.
他的粗暴无礼让我无言以对。
还可以指“给予，提供”，英文解释为to give something to someone or do something, because it is your duty or because someone expects you to，如：an obligation to render assistance to those in need 为有困难的人提供援助的义务，举个🌰：
We see that freight railroads make good profits while rendering excellent service.
我们看到铁路货运公司在提供优质服务的同时也赢得了丰厚的利润。
而去年经济学人<翻译的出路在哪里？>的这篇文章中，render出现的意思则是“翻译，把...译成...”，通常用法为render sth into English/Russian/Chinese etc，将sth译成英语/俄语/汉语等，举个🌰：
She is rendering the book into English from French.
她正在把这本书从法语译成英语。
还还还可以表示“粉刷；给（墙壁）抹灰（或水泥）”，英文解释为to put a first layer of plaster or cement on a wall.
capacity
除了表示“能力，才能；容量，容积，容纳人数”等，此处表示“职位；工作；角色”，英文解释为“a particular position or job”，举个🌰：
She was speaking in her capacity as a novelist, rather than as a television presenter.
她是作为小说家而不是电视节目主持人在发言。
Pikachu appeared in the first Pokemon game, which was released in Japan in 1996. It quickly became a global phenomenon and has become one of the best-selling entertainment franchises of all time.
Pikachu is an electric mouse and the animation series has previously showed the character with hair, albeit in a stylised and undefined way.
相关背景
实际上，关于皮卡丘的原型，一直都有争议，比如说老鼠、龙猫、兔子等。而今年据《读卖新闻》报道，早在1996年《宠物小精灵》这款游戏首次发布时，设计人员称皮卡丘是基于一只松鼠而非老鼠设计的。
albeit
表示“虽然，尽管”，英文解释为“used to add information that reduces the force or importance of what you have just said”，举个🌰：
He accepted the job, albeit with some hesitation.
尽管有些犹豫，他还是接受了那份工作。
The new Warner Bros film is the first official movie to integrate Pokemon characters in real-world settings with actors.
Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds provides the voice for Pikachu, which has historically been voiced by Japanese actress Ikue Otani.
