任何一门语言都是在不断变化的,英语也一样。所以,随便时代的发展,总会有很多新词进入英语的vocabulary。

考官不知道,还能得分吗?


我们是要给考官解释的哦。


------------------------------------------


phub v. (phone snub)


snub的意思是冷落某人,所以当我们说She always phone snubs me的时候,所表达的意思是:她总是看手机,而不理我。这个意思我们可以用一个最新合成词表示:phub


e.g.

How has the mobile phone changed your life?

Well, it has changed my life tremendously, but one thing that comes to mind right now is that my girlfriend always phubs me when we go on a date. Oh, PHUB is the combination of PHONE SNUB. I mean, she always checks her own smartphone when we're out having dinner together, which really gets on my nerves sometimes.


tremendously 很多

go on a date 去约会

check her smartphone

get on my nerves 令我很不爽


nomophobia n. (no mobile phone phobia)


英文中有很多词都是以phobia结尾的,phobia是一个英文词根,表示 恐惧。这样的词有:xenophobia(对外国人恐惧症), acrophobia(恐高症), claustrophobia(幽闭恐惧)


现在,在智能手机时代,我们有了一个新的合成词:nomophobia=no mobile phone phobia(没了手机就抓狂、就疯、就活不了的症...)


e.g.

How often do you use your mobile phone?

Oh, I use it every single minute, honestly. I mean, I just can't live without it. You know, there's a new word, nomophobia. I think it's the perfect word for me. I have nomophobia cos if I couldn't use my smartphone for a couple of minutes, I would go mad.


go mad 发疯




亮瞎考官狗的技能,get?
