現(xiàn)在各類社交網(wǎng)站都有“加好友”的功能,而且friending一詞在幾年前就已是網(wǎng)絡(luò)流行熱詞。可是你知道嗎?這個(gè)詞最早是大文豪莎士比亞發(fā)明的哦。
Friending means to act as the friend of someone or to include (someone) in a list of designated friends on a person's social networking site.
Friending的意思是“做某人的朋友”或者“將某人在社交網(wǎng)站上加為好友”。
The word comes from a term coined by Shakespeare in Hamlet, act 1, scene 5: And what so poor a man as Hamlet is May do, to express his love and friending to you.
這個(gè)詞最早來(lái)源于莎士比亞戲劇《哈姆雷特》第一場(chǎng)第五幕中的一句對(duì)白:像哈姆雷特這樣貧苦的人,要怎樣向你表達(dá)他的愛(ài)意和友情呢。
The coinage was largely overlooked for centuries. With the advent of the social network Facebook in 2004, friending became widely adopted.
這個(gè)說(shuō)法被人們忽視了好幾百年,直到2004年社交網(wǎng)站Facebook迅猛發(fā)展,friending(加好友)一詞才被廣泛使用。
