could you help me? What's the "corkscrew"? the hunger games chapter 5 "You're doing very well,"says some guy named Flavius. He gives his orange corkscrew locks a shake and applies a fresh coat of purple lipstick to his mouth."If there's one thing we can't stand, it's a whiner. Grease her down!" What's the "corkscrew"? I can't imagine.Is it something that the picture shows?

Lenka’s answer is very good here. So I will only add a little more information about the corkscrew part. “Corkscrew” can be used to describe something that has the spiral shape of the screw in the corkscrew (or, in other words, the metal part in the middle of the corkscrew). Here are some other examples of how it can used when using corkscrew to describe the shape of something: The instrument twists and turns like a corkscrew. He flew his airplane and performed loops, corkscrews, and other stunts.

Ha ha very funny and I understand your confusion. So this is a corkscrew to” screw the cork out “ of the wine bottle Cork is the material it is made of. In your article it refers to LOCKS which is curly hair just as curly as the metal part in the middle of the corkscrew! Isn’t English wonderful? 🙂👋🏼

这里的 “orange corkscrew locks” 是指他的头发。为什么叫 corkscrew locks 呢,locks是dreadlocks 的缩写,中文是脏辫 - 辫的时候头发紧紧地“锁”在一起 (lock = 锁)。那corkscrew就是指螺旋型的 就像你的图片里的开瓶器 想象它在转的时候 形成螺旋型的感觉。其实如果不用corkscrew,只说orange locks (或locs),意思也应该大同小异 或许加了corkscrew更加生动吧! 如果搜索 “corkscrew locks hair” 就会看到类似像这个图的结果啦。
