Wardrobe malfunction这个短语,乍一看还以为是“衣橱坏了”,其实相当于汉语中的“走光”。Wardrobe在这里其实是“衣服”的意思(Garments considered as a group, especially all the articles of clothing that belong to one person--American Heritage Dictionary)。这是个vogue word,时髦说法而已,不知道能否持久。
  网上有好事者发帖,题目叫做“美女走光图”,打开一看,是一幅照片,里面是一片空荡荡的海滩,下面的说明文字为:没骗你吧,美女真的走光了!这种帖子可以出个英文版,题目是wardrobe malfunction,打开一看,是一个坏的衣橱,下面的caption是:See? This is really a malfunctioning wardrobe!
  以下内容摘自wikipedia:
  Wardrobe malfunction is a euphemism used to describe the accidental exposure of an intimate part or parts of the body due to a defect in an article or articles of clothing. It was used for the first time by Justin Timberlake to explain the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy, a 1 February 2004 incident in which the malfunction resulted in what was claimed to be the \"unintentional\" baring of most of Janet Jackson's right breast.

  The Global Language Monitor named the phrase \"Hollywood's Top Word or Phrase for Impact on the English language\" later that year.[1]

The term has remained popular in part because of the humor associated with its jargonistic and overly technical quality when used as an explanation for the Super Bowl incident, which many believe was actually an intentional publicity stunt. This suspicion is strengthened by the fact that Jackson was wearing a nipple shield, which emphasized her areola, and by the lyric Timberlake was singing immediately prior: \"I'll have you naked by the end of this song\". Also, Jackson did not cover up immediately. Slang Internet terms representing a wardrobe accident include oops (referring to the embarrassment caused by being caught in such a situation), nipple slip/breast slip, and upskirt.

  Paparazzi eagerly capture these occurrences. It is often argued[attribution needed] that many of these shots are staged by celebrities as publicity stunts.
