前两年各种rage系列的词出现不少,比如road rage(路怒)、air rage(空怒),还有网速不给力时的web
rage(网怒)。现在,这个家族又来了一个新成员,screen rage。能猜出是什么意思吗?
Screen rage means to talk back, yell or curse at a digital screenafter a
very unpleasant phone conversation or upset about amatch result.
“屏怒”指打电话跟人发生争执或者对转播的比赛结果不满时对着电子设备的屏幕回骂、大喊或咒骂的情况。
Who hasn't talked back to their computer or their smartphone? Screen-rage
is something almosteveryone 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 theOxford English Corpus – from
2006.
谁没试过对着电脑和手机回骂呢?屏怒几乎是每个人都做过的事。“怒退”(玩游戏时队友不给力,被对方铲杀,愤怒退出)不久前才被收入牛津在线词典,不过“屏怒”一词被收录的可能行似乎并不大。自2006年到现在,这个词在牛津英语语料库里只出现过一次。
For example
I got screen rage when I read his text message.
我看到他的短信后屏怒了。
