男士乳贴原本是长跑运动员用于防止乳头磨损的体育用品，如今却走俏日本。据《每日邮报》报道，日本运动用品零售店Dot Store称，今年已售出5.5万副乳贴，远超去年销量。乳贴在日本热销，是因为男士乳贴定位成一种时尚单品，而非运动配件

A Japanese sports shop is reporting a surge in demand for nipple covers as mammary gland concealment becomes all the rage in the eccentric Far-Eastern country.
据一家日本体育用品商店称，顾客对乳贴的需求激增。这是因为日本这个奇葩的国家现在十分流行“隐藏乳头”。

The Dot Store says nipple covers, usually used by long-distance runners to prevent chafing, are flying off its shelves, with 55,000 sets being sold so far this year.
Dot Store表示，乳贴一般是长跑者用来防止衣服摩擦乳头的，这款产品今年的销量非常好，目前为止已经售出了55000副。

The figure far exceeds last year's sales figures, though exact numbers were not given.
这一数字已经远远超过了去年的销量，不过商家并没有给出确切的数字。

The Dot Store's nipple covers are adhesive, water-resistant, transparent patches similar to sticking plasters.
Dot Store出售的乳贴是有粘性、防水、透明类似膏药的贴片。

The feat has been achieved by marketing the nipple covers as fashion items instead of sports accessories.
乳贴之所以大受欢迎，是因为它被定位成一种时尚单品而不是运动配件。

An advertisement for the product shows a girl on a date being enchanted with her young beau when his nipples are covered but disgusted when they are seen poking through his T-shirt.
在一则乳贴广告中，一个女孩和小鲜肉男友约会时，男友T恤衫下的凸点让她反感。但当他隐藏乳头时，女孩就被他迷住了。

In one version of events where the lad's nipples are covered, the couple end up together.
在男生贴住乳头的版本里，这对情侣最终在一起了。

But in an alternate reality where he neglected to cover his twin peaks, he ends up alone.
但是在另一个版本里，男生没有掩盖凸起的乳头，最终成了单身。

不止是乳贴，为了防止男性露点，日本一家公司今年3月份还推出了一款“防露点T恤”。

那么男生露点到底有多“尴尬”呢？一项调查似乎给出了答案。

2013年的一项研究显示，84%的女性不想在工作时看到男性T恤衫下凸起的乳头。
