上一期,我们谈到了好蹭网的人,the wifi squatter。大家在微信平台上反映强烈,各种吐槽身边的wifi squatter。期间有一位茶油的留言,他问BEN老师,很多公共wifi,需要你填入各种验证码,之后你的手机上那个显示接入wifi的“小扇形”,但是你的手机还是无法打开网页等等。这种情况怎么用英文说?
听好了,这样的假wifi,英文里面最近出现了一个流行词汇:
【核心词】Lie-Fi |ˈlaɪfaɪ|
lie v. & n. 撒谎;谎言
正好与Wi-押韵,wifi,lie-fi
我们再来看看UrbanDictionary.com对于这个词的定义:
When your phone or tablet indicates that you are connected to a wireless network, however you are still unable to load webpages or use any internet services with your device
Person 1: Can you get any wi-fi here?
Person 2: No, it says I'm connected but it's really just lie-fi
最讨厌liefi了
