新东方托福词汇之“摊手耸肩smugshrug”

2015-12-31 00:26    新东方网

 前两天,牛津词典宣布2015年度词汇是一个表情符号“笑cry”。由此,我们可以看出,表情符号已经成为我们生活交流的一部分。今天,我们再教大家一个表情符号的说法:smugshrug。


  The shruggie or “smugshrug,” as it is sometimes called, is an emoticon representing the face and arms of smiling person with hands raised in a shrugging gesture, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It’s similar to an emoji or emoticon, but it incorporates characters from the katakana alphabet for a wider range of expression.


  Shruggie或者smugshrug是一种表情符号,指一个人一边笑一边摊开手耸肩的姿势,就是这样 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯。这个符号类似于表情符号,但它还结合了日文中的片假名字符,由此传递出了更宽泛的意思表达。


  It went viral in English when, after Kanye West shot down Taylor Swift in favor of Beyonce during his infamous 2010 Video Music Awards interruption, he gave a little shrug with his hands outstretched in a slight acknowledgement of his own ridiculousness; the rap crew Travis Porter immediately tweeted, “Kanye shrug —> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯” as a crude representation of the gesture.


  2010年MTV音乐录影带大奖颁奖典礼现场,坎爷Kanye West打断泰勒·斯威夫特的演讲,并表示对碧昂斯的支持,之后,他微微耸肩,两手摊开,一副对自己的荒谬举动小得意的样子。饶舌歌手Travis Porter立马发了一条推特“坎爷耸肩—> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”,用一组符号表示了他当时的动作。


  For a time, post-Kanye, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ continued to represent a kind of self-aware victory over the world.


  在那以后的一段时间,¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 这个符号就一直被用来指代那种“我赢了全世界”的表情。


  When someone performs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in real life, shrugging their shoulders and raising their outstretched hands in supplication to the sky it evokes an abdication of blame and a good-humored acknowledgement that shit, at times, happens, and there’s nothing we can do about it.


  现实生活中,有人做出这样的耸肩、双手摊开动作时,表达的是,放弃责难,用轻松的方式承认,有时会有这样那样的破事儿发生,而我们却什么也做不了。
