自1947年以来，每年挪威都会为英国民众送上一棵象征友谊的圣诞树，放置在伦敦特拉法加广场上，以表达对二战中盟友的感谢之情。今年挪威送来的圣诞树也如期而至↓
不过今年的树，看上去枝干似乎有些稀疏……
面对今年这棵“有点秃”的圣诞树，各路网友也开启了全程高能神吐槽模式。
Every year since 1947, Norway, or more precisely, the city of Oslo, has gifted a Christmas tree to the UK to put up in Trafalgar Square. The gesture is made to express their gratitude for being allies during World War II.
It’s a beautiful tradition symbolizing solidarity and friendship; however, in the last few years, Brits have been kind of underwhelmed by the trees Norway has gifted them. And this year they had a pretty strong reaction to it.
People were pointing out that the tree has sparse branches and looks like it’s suffering.
一些网友对这棵萎靡的树展开了脑洞↓
这棵树还会有其他的树枝来装饰，还是这样就完事儿了？
“修正：圣诞树部分到货。”
“这树是从挪威被一路拖过来的？”
“剩下的卡在海关了？”
“他们是不是弄错了，把去年的圣诞树拉来杵那儿了吧？”
还有一些网友表示：有被这棵树内涵到↓
“一棵英国不想要、却很搭配我们的树。”
“挪威用这棵树，说出了心声。”
“我不由得想到这是在内涵这个国家的低沉状态。当然是我们英国，不是挪威。”
眼见着网友们讨论得如此热烈，特拉法加圣诞树的官方推特也终于出来回应了↓
“我想告诉大家，一半的树枝不是不见了……它们是在保持社交距离。记得今年圣诞节要做好防护，（除例外情况）要在公共交通和商店内部戴好口罩哦。”
