“未見其人,先聞其聲”說的是某些人的聲音很有辨識度,而且聲音比較響亮,人還沒來呢,聲音就先到了。我們生活中有時候也會遇到這樣的人,打電話的聲音那叫一個嘹亮,恨不得周邊一公里的人都能聽到。
Yellular is the loudness one adopts in response to a bad cell-phone connection, in the misguided hope that talking louder will improve the connection.
Yellular指手機信號不好的時候提高音量講話的狀態(tài),好像那樣大聲講話手機信號就能變好一樣。我們可以稱為“喊叫模式”。
這個yellular其實就是yell(喊叫)和cellular的合成詞,我們的手機正式叫法是cellular phone(蜂窩電話),簡稱cell phone。
Sometimes, some people just cannot help yelling whenever they are on the phone, it seems that their voice is not transmitted through phone signal but via a speaker.
有時候,有些人只要一打電話就會開啟大嗓門模式,就好像他們并不是靠手機信號來傳輸自己的聲音,而是在通過大喇叭傳話一樣。
For example:
I'm so embarrassed. I went totally yellular at a restaurant last night. I was talking to my dad on the phone, but he just couldn't hear me no matter how loudly I spoke on this side.
昨天晚上我在飯館打電話時直接進入“喊叫模式”,可尷尬了。我當時在跟我爸爸打電話,我在這邊很大聲說話,他也聽不到。
