The winner of Friday's ice hockey semifinal game between Team USA and Canada advances to the gold-medal game at the Winter Olympics. The loser, apparently, has to keep pop star Justin Bieber.
周五美國和加拿隊冰球隊舉行的半決賽，將決定本次冬奧會進入冰球項目決賽的資格。顯然，輸隊將不得不留下明星賈斯汀·比伯。
That's the bet purported by this Chicago billboard, which features Chicago Blackhawks stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, who are on opposite sides of Bieber and the semifinal game.
“哪國輸就留下比伯”是芝加哥一個廣告牌上打出的賭注，這個廣告牌展現的是半決賽對陣，芝加哥黑鷹隊明星帕特里克·凱恩和喬納森·托斯面對面分列比伯左右兩邊。
Bieber, of course, is a Canada native who found fame as a teen pop star and then turned into a young bratty adult in the U.S.
比伯原本是加拿大人，青少年期在美國成名，如今身為流行歌手的他是個有點招人嫌的年輕人。
The "Loser Keeps Bieber" idea isn't necessarily new — many have cracked similar jokes, but putting it on a billboard with two famous Chicago hockey players is taking things to a new level.
“哪國輸就留下比伯” 這個主意并不是什么新點子，此前曾有過許多類似的玩笑。但是把這句話放在印刷了兩位著名冰球運動員的廣告牌上，則上升到了一個新的高度。
It's the work of Command Transportation, a freight broker with an electronic billboard that creates some buzzy displays, routinely from the world of sports.
這是貨運代理“運輸指揮中心”的杰作，他們曾使用電子廣告牌創造了很多搞笑的效果，通常應用于體育行業。
Command Transportation owner Danny Zamost said it's the first time his company had put Bieber on its electronic billboard.
運輸指揮中心老板Danny Zamost 說，這是公司第一次把比伯放在電子廣告牌上。
"We try to keep this low-key," said another executive, who wished to remain anonymous. "We just have fun. We don't use the sign other than to have fun."
“我們盡量保持低調。” 另一位匿名的經理說道，“我們只是找樂子，除此之外沒其他別的意思。”
Even if this is a joke, it's still a good enough reason to root for Team USA.
雖然這只是個玩笑，但作為支持美國隊的理由來說，足夠了！
