奥斯卡礼袋：不仅奢华，而且奇葩！！

Don’t feel bad for the Academy Award nominees who go home empty-handed on Oscar night; none of this year’s best actor/actress, supporting actor/actress and director contenders should be sore losers when they see the contents of their gift bags, valued at more than $125,000.
那些在奥斯卡颁奖典礼上被提名却没有获奖的明星，其实我们也不必为他们感到难过；本年度的最佳男女主角奖，最佳配角奖和最佳导演奖的被提名者当面对价值超过12万5千美元的奖品时，显然不会因为与奖项失之交臂而捶胸顿足。

In addition to the usual smorgasbord of luxury skincare products and high-end accessories associated with these annual goodie bags, this year’s giveaway includes a number of jaw-dropping highlights:
和往年一样，手袋中除了各种奢侈的护肤品和高端配饰以外，今年的手袋中还有更多令人唏嘘的重磅豪礼：

a three-night stay at a resort in Tuscany valued at $1,500;
一张价值1500美元的托斯卡纳三天三夜度假券；

a luxury train ride through the Canadian Rockies worth more than $14,500;
一次超值1万4千5百元的加拿大落基山脉豪华列车游览机会；

natural French Mediterranean sea salts worth $1,500;

a custom silver necklace inscribed with the latitude and longitude coordinates of the Dolby Theater from Lat & Lo at $150;
一条来自Lat & Lo价值150美元刻有杜比实验室经纬度坐标的定制银项链；

a “glamping” trip valued at $12,500;

a Reset Yourself lifestyle makeover package worth more than $14,200;
一个超值1万4千2百美元的美妆大礼包；

and so much more.
礼品远远还不止这些。

The most highly valued item in this year’s bag, according to the press release from Distinctive Assets, the bag’s creator, is a $20,000 gift certificate to have Enigma Life founder Olessia Kantor fly out to meet with each nominee “to discuss their 2015 horoscope, analyze dreams and teach them mind control techniques.”
今年最具价值的礼袋奖品项目来自洛杉矶营销公司Distinctive Assets，他们提供的是由Enigma Life创始人Olessia Kantor与每一个未获奖提名者一对一的会面（20000美元），除了帮他们预测2015全年星座运势和解读梦境外，还将教他们控制意念的方法。

Who needs a little gold statue when you can learn mind control?
能学会控制意念，谁还会在意一个小金人呢？

To be clear, these gift bags are in no way endorsed by the Academy itself. In fact, in 2006, the Academy voted to end the distribution of gift bags after reaching an agreement with the IRS that stipulated recipients of the swag bags would have to pay taxes on them.
需要强调的是，这些礼品都不是由奥斯卡官方提供，事实上，从2006年起学院委员会已与美国国税局达成协议，礼品由第三方机构直接送到提名者家中，明星需要对礼品进行纳税。
