据说,现在大家出门旅行找住处的时候打听的第一件事儿是“有没有WIFI?”拿着手机却上不了网,这已经是很多人都无法忍受的事情。所以呢,到了完全没有网络的地方,平时的“低头族”们不犯抑郁症才怪呢!
Postmodem depression is the unpleasant feeling you get when you haven't had access to the Internet (i.e. QQ, Weibo and WeChat) for a "long" time, like several minutes. You don't have appetite, not in the mood to enjoy beautiful scenery or talk to people, the only thing you care about is where you can find a WIFI hotspot.
Postmodem depression(断网抑郁症)指无法连接到网络(也就是不能刷微博、微信和QQ)很“长”时间时的郁闷心情,这里所谓的很“长”时间,其实可能也就几分钟而已。就因为这样,你没有胃口吃东西,无心欣赏美景,也不愿跟人说话,一心只想找个能帮你上网的WIFI热点。
比如,一家人出去度假:
Mom: Johnny, come to dinner!
妈妈:强子,吃饭了!
Johnny: Not hungry!
强子:不饿!
Mom (to dad): What the hell is wrong with him?
妈妈对爸爸说:这孩子咋啦?
Dad: He's got postmodem depression; he can't update his WeChat Moments.
爸爸:没有网,郁闷了,刷不了朋友圈。
Mom: But we have only been here for 15 minutes.
妈妈:可是我们刚到这儿15分钟而已啊。。。
