好萊塢改名成“Hollyweed”到底怎么回事？

Residents of Los Angeles’ most famous neighbourhood woke up on New Year’s Day to find the world-famous Hollywood sign had been changed to read "Hollyweed".

在元旦那天，洛杉磯最著名街區(qū)的居民們醒來后發(fā)現(xiàn)世界聞名的好萊塢標志“Hollywood”被改成了“Hollyweed”。

Local media reported that police were treating the incident as minor trespass and were investigating.

據(jù)媒體報道，警方將這起事件定性為輕微侵害，目前正在調(diào)查之中。

The sign on Mount Lee is made of 45-foot (13.7m) tall letters.

好萊塢山Mount Lee上的這個標志高達45英尺(約合13.7米)。

Voters in California approved the legalisation of marijuana in a ballot held at the same time as the presidential election - on 8 November.

在11月8日總統(tǒng)大選同一時間舉行的一場投票中，加州選民們批準了大麻合法化。

The prank has not caused lasting damage to the sign, however, as parts of both "O" letters were covered by tarpaulins to make them look like a lower-case letter "E".

但是這一惡作劇并沒有造成太久的損害，因為兩個字母“o”只是被防水帆布遮了起來，從而使得它們看起來像小寫的“e”。

The Los Angeles Times reports that a single person was recorded on security cameras climbing the sign to hang the materials.

據(jù)《洛杉磯時報》報道，安全攝像機中記錄下了一個人攀爬好萊塢標志、并往上掛東西的過程。

A similar prank took place in 1976, to mark a relaxation in the state’s marijuana laws.

類似一個惡作劇發(fā)生在1976年，標志著當時該州大麻法律的松弛。
