一边看着电视上的选秀节目,一边用手机发微博评论。这样的场景大家应该都不陌生吧?随着便携电子设备的普及,每个家里除了电视机那个大屏幕之外,同时还亮起不少小屏幕,我们将其统称为“第二屏幕”。
Second screen, sometimes also referred to as “companion device”, is a term that refers to an additional electronic device (e.g. tablet, smartphone) that allows a television audience to interact with the content they are consuming, such as TV shows, movies, music, or video games, extra data is displayed on a portable device synchronized with the content being viewed on television.
第二屏幕,有时也被称为“伴侣设备”,指看电视时能同时与电视节目内容互动交流的电子设备,如平板电脑或智能手机等。电视上进行的节目、电影、音乐或者视频游戏等在便携设备上也会有同步的相关内容显示。
真把人“逼疯”了
当某事或某人drive you up the wall的时候,就是说这件事情或人快把你给逼疯了,让你非常烦恼和生气。例如:
This computer is really driving me up the wall. It keeps crashing!
Shopping for jeans drives her up the wall. She can never find a pair that fit her.
You are driving me up the wall! Will you stop singing that awful song now?
请注意,另一个字面上很相似的短语是 climbing the walls, 此短语用来形容某人非常紧张、担心或者是感到无聊。例如:
I’ve been sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring all day — I’m climbing the walls.
你有“肉牙”吗?
听到有人说I have a sweet tooth,你会怎么理解?其实,这个表达在英语里已经有几百年的历史了,意思是“我喜欢吃甜食”。那么,如果有人说I have a meat tooth的时候,你就不会不明白了吧?
Meat tooth refers to someone’s craving or fondness for meat. This term is a rhyming play on the well-known phrase sweet tooth, a craving or fondness for sweet food, which has been in the language for over 600 years.
Meat tooth指某人爱吃肉。这个说法沿袭了sweet tooth押韵规律,并进一步演绎。Sweet tooth在英语中流传使用已超过600年,是人尽皆知的一个短语,用以形容对甜食的喜爱。例如:
Others craved chocolate or cheesecake; I had a “meat tooth”.
别人都钟情于巧克力或奶酪蛋糕,我就爱吃肉。
提振精神的group hug
团体类体育项目比赛开始前,各队成员通常都会围成一圈,把手臂搭在身边队友的肩膀上,集体呼喊励志口号来振奋精神。这样的集体行为英语里叫group hug,现在,很多领域的团队都在这样做了。
Sometimes when a group of people or a team is down and they need to cheer themselves up they have a “group hug”.
Usually someone says: “Group hug” or “Let’s have a group hug”. Then the group forms a circle and each participant puts their arms over their neighbors’ shoulders.
有时,团队成员情绪低落,需要提振精神的时候,他们就会来一个“集体拥抱”。
通常都是一个人说“集体拥抱”或“我们来个集体拥抱吧。”然后,整个团队的人围成一圈,每个人都把自己的手臂搭在旁边伙伴的肩膀上。
