多少新闻，多少网页，多少博客，多少广告都想让网民们在不断拿鼠标点击，饥渴的寻找下一秒新鲜话题和新闻的过程中，能够暂停动作，关注到他们。如果它们做到了，那么它们就成为了thumbstopper—“划屏终结者”。

Thumbstopper refers to an eye-catching or compelling item that makes a person stop scrolling through a list of posts, particularly when using the thumb to scroll a touchscreen device.

“划屏终结者”指的就是一个引人注目的产品或新闻，让人们在不断点击新鲜话题的过程中停下脚步关注到，特别是在他们在用手指划屏下拉时。

A lots of news have become the thumbstopper, from Malaysia Airlines plane crash a while ago to the official investigation recently, or the box office star the Tiny Times 3 and the celebrities taking drugs. There are some traits shared by those thumbstoppers, for instance, little presence, little contact with grass roots, as well as cross-field.

从前段时间的马航失事到如今的官员审查，从票房惊人的《小时代3》到明星吸毒事件。“划屏终结者”都有一些共同的特点，比如从未出现，草根接触少，而且不分领域.

Example:

I heard some breaking news from my informant. It would definitely become a thumbstopper tomorrow once I post it.

我从线人那里得到了一个惊天大新闻，明天我发布后肯定能成为“划屏终结者”。
