路怒之外,又有“屏怒”
前兩年各種rage系列的詞出現不少,比如road rage(路怒)、air rage(空怒),還有網速不給力時的web rage(網怒)。現在,這個家族又來了一個新成員,screen rage。能猜出是什么意思嗎?
Screen rage means to talk back, yell or curse at a digital screen after a very unpleasant phone conversation or upset about a match result.
“屏怒指打電話跟人發生爭執或者對轉播的比賽結果不滿時對著電子設備的屏幕回罵、大喊或咒罵的情況。
Who hasn't talked back to their computer or their smartphone? Screen-rage is something almost everyone has experienced. Though ‘rage-quit' was recently added to OxfordDictionaries.com, screen rage's chances look less than stellar. So far, there's only one example of the word in the Oxford English Corpus – from 2006.
誰沒試過對著電腦和手機回罵呢?屏怒幾乎是每個人都做過的事。“怒退(玩游戲時隊友不給力,被對方鏟殺,憤怒退出)不久前才被收入牛津在線詞典,不過“屏怒一詞被收錄的可能行似乎并不大。自2006年到現在,這個詞在牛津英語語料庫里只出現過一次。
For example
I got screen rage when I read his text message.
我看到他的短信后屏怒了。
