好久不联系的老友互相发短信了解近况,免不了多发几条,但最后总得有人发出“短信终结语”,礼貌地暗示交流到此结束。英文表达就是text-killer。
Text-killer is the final text, usually a one word reply, such as "yeah" and "haha ok", used to designate the end of the conversation. Unless you have a desperate texter on the other end.
短信终结语就是最后一条短信,通常是一个词的答复语,比如“是啊”或“哈哈好的”,表明对话结束。除非另外一方想没完没了地聊下去,否则对方看到短信终结语一般都会停止发短信。
Example:
Rachael doesn't know how to take the text-killer and stop talking!
瑞秋看不懂别人的短信终结语,发起短信来没完没了!
