可愛(ài)的“符號(hào)表情”emoticon
[ 2009-05-27 16:10 ]
自打互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和手機(jī)廣泛普及以來(lái),各種新鮮有趣的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)方式也隨之大行其道。如果有人在網(wǎng)聊時(shí)發(fā)過(guò)來(lái)“:)”這樣一個(gè)符號(hào)組合,估計(jì)沒(méi)幾個(gè)人會(huì)不知道它們代表的意思吧。隨著即時(shí)通訊工具的不斷升級(jí),這些符號(hào)表情都會(huì)自動(dòng)轉(zhuǎn)換成了對(duì)應(yīng)的卡通表情,不過(guò),它們的名稱(chēng)一直都沒(méi)有變,始終叫做emoticon。
An emoticon is a textual portrayal of a writer's mood or facial expression. They are often used to alert a responder to the tenor or temper of a statement, and can change and improve interpretation of plain text.
Emoticon(符號(hào)表情)是書(shū)寫(xiě)者情緒或者面部表情的文字表現(xiàn)方式。符號(hào)表情通常被用來(lái)提示對(duì)話的另一方注意某段話傳遞的語(yǔ)氣或語(yǔ)調(diào),由此可以改進(jìn)并增強(qiáng)對(duì)普通文本的理解。
The word is a portmanteau of the English words emotion and icon. In web forums, instant messengers and online games, text emoticons are often automatically replaced with small corresponding images, which came to be called emoticons as well. Examples of widely known emoticons are the smiley face :) and the frowny face :(.
Emoticon這個(gè)詞是emotion和icon兩個(gè)詞組合而成的。在網(wǎng)絡(luò)論壇、即時(shí)信息工具以及網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲中,這些文本符號(hào)表情通常會(huì)被自動(dòng)替換為對(duì)應(yīng)的圖像表情,不過(guò)它們還是被稱(chēng)為emoticon。代表笑臉的:) 和皺眉的:( 是最為人熟知的兩個(gè)符號(hào)表情。
