National Hot Dog Day is on July 23, which naturally got us thinking of all the wondrous ways weiners are consumed around the world. The Seattle Dog is smothered in cream cheese, the Mexican Sonora dog is wrapped in bacon, and the Japanese octodog looks like an octopus, obviously.
7月23日是（美國(guó)）全國(guó)熱狗日了，我們很自然就會(huì)想到世界各地吃香腸的奇妙方法。西雅圖熱狗被包裹在奶油芝士中，墨西哥索諾拉熱狗被包裹在培根中，而日本的八爪熱狗看起來(lái)就像一條章魚(yú)。

Wait, what?
等等，你說(shuō)像什么？

It's not uncommon in Japan to find a hot dog shaped like an octopus in your bento box. But if you want to make one yourself without leaving the country, it's ridiculously simple -- perhaps, even, a little questionable (it involves microwaving a sliced hot dog until its "tentacles" shrivel and curl under the heat). Every once in a while, there comes a time in your life when you've just got to throw shame to the wind and eat a microwaved cephalopod.
在日本，便當(dāng)里面有章魚(yú)形狀的熱狗是十分常見(jiàn)的。但如果你不想千里迢迢去日本，又想自己做一個(gè)，那可真是小菜一碟，可能你都會(huì)懷疑是不是太簡(jiǎn)單了（只要把切開(kāi)的熱狗放到微波爐里加熱直到它的“觸須”收縮并卷起來(lái)）。你的人生中總會(huì)時(shí)不時(shí)地需要無(wú)視別人鄙夷的目光去吃條微波章魚(yú)的。

Watch the video above and follow the simple steps to making an octodog. All it takes is a paring knife, a microwave, and a little magic to make this gloriously creepy creation.
看看上面的視頻，跟著簡(jiǎn)單的步驟做個(gè)八爪熱狗吧。做這個(gè)可愛(ài)又可怕的東西你需要的僅僅是一把水果刀，一個(gè)微波爐，還有一點(diǎn)魔力。
