最近這一個月,只要有歐洲杯比賽的時段,微博上就會熱鬧非凡。很多人一邊看球,一邊在微博上評球,氣氛一點不比賽場遜色。這種一邊看電視,一邊發(fā)微博討論的行為在國外也很普遍,英文叫chatterboxing。
Chatterboxing means watching a program on television, while talking to others about that program online, normally via a social media platform.
Chatterboxing指一邊收看某個電視節(jié)目,一般通過社交媒體平臺跟別人討論該節(jié)目的行為,在中文語境下,可譯為“看電視發(fā)微博”。
Psychologist Corinne Sweet says: "Wanting to communicate with others when you experience emotions such as sadness, entertainment, fear or awe is a part of the human condition. As television often prompts these feelings, it is not surprising that more of us are taking advantage of evolving technology to share our thoughts."
心理學家科林?斯維特說:“人在經(jīng)歷悲傷、娛樂、恐懼或者驚訝等情緒時,想要跟別人溝通交流是很正常的需求。因為電視通常會引發(fā)這些情緒,那么越來越多的人會利用不斷發(fā)展的科技手段跟別人分享自己的看法也就不足為奇了?!?/p>
