有沒(méi)有遇到過(guò)這樣的人:拿著手機(jī)在地鐵里打電話,聲音還特別大,搞得旁邊的人想不聽(tīng)都不行?,F(xiàn)在才知道,這樣的人全世界都有,而且他們有名字的哦,叫做stage-phoner。
A person who engages in stage-phoning is someone who talks loudly on their mobile in a deliberate attempt to attract the interest and attention of people around them. Such individuals appear to be behaving as if they were giving a performance, with the mobile as a theatrical prop, hence the use of the word stage.
Stage-phoning(演戲式通話)指一個(gè)人用手機(jī)打電話很大聲,故意想要吸引旁邊人的關(guān)注。這些人打電話時(shí)候的行為就好像在表演一樣,把手機(jī)當(dāng)作道具,所以才會(huì)用stage這個(gè)詞來(lái)表示。
The derived noun stage-phoner has been coined to describe these types, who in American English are sometimes also referred to by the rather derogatory term cell (phone) jerk. We meet stage-phoners at every street corner, waiting room or café.
由此衍生的stage-phoner就指進(jìn)行演戲式通話的人,在美式英語(yǔ)中還有一個(gè)更具貶義的詞cell (phone) jerk(手機(jī)傻冒)來(lái)形容這些人。在街角、等候室或者咖啡館都會(huì)有他們的身影。
