1Twuilt微博控/推特控
Meaning: A combination of “twitter” and “guilt” used to express the guilty feeling you get when you haven’t Twittered recently.
微博如此流行的时代,自然产生了无数微博控,这是一个由“twitter”和“guilt”组合成的词,用来表达那种只要近来没有发微博就产生的负罪感。
I’m feeling a lot of twuilt since my last tweet was over a week ago.
我觉得我微博控了,因为我上一次发微博是在一周前了。
2 Fomo 聚会控
Meaning: Abbreviation of “fear of missing out” which describes the fear that if you miss a party or event you will miss out on something great.
生活中不乏这样一种人——总是担心错过某些聚会就遗漏掉了重要的事情的人。许多留学生恐怕都有这样的感慨,在欧美大学里,除了好好学习,还要好好应付每周甚至每天都层出不穷的官方或非官方的聚会,这到底是好是坏,还有待定论呢。
Even though she was exhausted, Cathy’s fomo got the best of her and she went to the party.
尽管很疲惫,凯茜聚会控的毛病还是打败了疲倦,她又去参加派对了。
3 Brand Dropping 品牌控
Meaning: Mentioning that you’re wearing an expensive brand of clothing, using an expensive piece of technology, or bragging about other items that you own which are of high value.
浮华世界,很多人都加倍虚荣了起来,一些人简直就是爱显摆到了一定境界,总爱提及你穿着昂贵的品牌服装,用着高价的数码产品或者吹嘘其他一些所拥有的高价物品,对于这种心态,大家应该还是不学为妙,多关心更实在的东西才更有意义。
Brand dropping is similar to name dropping. The former likes mentioning the merchandise, while the latter likes mentioning a person.
品牌控和名字控类似,前者喜欢提及商品,而后者喜欢提及(造此商品的)人。
4 Digitally Freshen Up 邮件控
Meaning: A term one can use to excuse oneself from the face-time company of another for reasons of a burning desire to check your e-mail.
电子时代,人越来越不自由,无论社交还是工作,都明显的电子化了,这在世界大多数国家几乎都是一样的。对于上班族来说,成为“twuilt”已经是一种奢侈,更多的人倒是成了“digitally freshen up”,这个词可以用来为自己无法出席会议作辩解,原因就是有着紧急理由要收发邮件。
Before an regular business meeting begins, you may hear somebody say: “Excuse me while I digitally freshen up. I’ll be right back.”
在每次例会开始前,你都能听到某个人说:“等一下啊,我查个邮件,马上回来!”
5 Sunblockaholic防晒控/嗜好防晒者
Meaning: Used to describe people (especially Asian women) who are particularly sun-phobia and never forget to wear sun block whenever they are outdoors.
很多女生都可以说是将防晒从头武装到脚趾的爱好者,她们梳妆台上的防晒产品五花八门,防晒系数从SPF15到SPF50+++,品种从身体、面部、眼部到唇部,所以,Sunblockaholic就是用来描述那些特别怕晒,并且只要出门去户外便要擦防晒霜的人,尤其指亚洲女性。
—Wait for me, I must bring my sunblock.
等等我,我必须带防晒霜。
—Oh stop being such a sunblockaholic. It is a cloudy day!
哦,别这么防晒控了。今天可是阴天!
