英语自学网

　　有没有遇到过这样的人：拿着手机在地铁里打电话，声音还特别大，搞得旁边的人想不听都不行。现在才知道，这样的人全世界都有，而且他们有名字的哦，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(演戏式通话)指一个人用手机打电话很大声，故意想要吸引旁边人的关注。这些人打电话时候的行为就好像在表演一样，把手机当作道具，所以才会用stage这个词来表示。

        　　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就指进行演戏式通话的人，在美式英语中还有一个更具贬义的词cell (phone)
jerk(手机傻冒)来形容这些人。在街角、等候室或者咖啡馆都会有他们的身影。
