It's a clunky thing, the size of a thick paperback book, with a waist strap and two ports on the front that look like miniature speakers, lending it the air of a shrunken mid-'80s boom box.

这个东西显得傻大黑粗的，一本硬壳画册大小，上面附着一根腰带和两个看起来像小音箱的接口，充满二十世纪八十年代中期的那种已经褪色的风格。

Importing from the West was illegal, so she would take me with her and strap furs around my waist, hidden under my jumper, so that the border guards wouldn't discover them on the train home.

但是从西德进口是违法的，所以妈妈会带上我一起去，把皮草捆在我的腰上，罩在套衫下面，所以在我们回家的火车上边防没法发现我们。
