但凡无聊就去上网,因为面对电脑时生活似乎就有了色彩,时间好像也过得特别快。外国人把这种抽象的精神体验和电脑前的椅子联系到了一块,并发明了一个称谓:Suction Seat “吸力椅子”。
The name given to the chair infront of your computer that you sit on to go on line. Once seated in it and going on line (facebook, aol, etc) it sucks you in to a much longer period of time than you planned.
“吸力椅子”指放在你电脑前,供你上网而坐的椅子。一旦坐在它上面开始浏览如Facebook、liuxuepaper、Google、Baidu、Aol等网站时,你就像被吸进椅子了一样,呆的时间要比原计划长。
来看下面这个例子:
I call my computer chair my SUCTION SEAT because although I only planned to be on line for 20 minutes, when I looked at the clock after finishing, I was on line for 2 1/2 hours!
我管我电脑前面的椅子叫做“吸力椅子”,因为我本来打算上20分钟的网,可完了之后一看表,发现我已经在网上晃了两个半小时!
