托福词汇之神烦狗“doge”
Doge is an Internet meme that became popular in 2013. The meme typicallyconsists of a picture of a Shiba Inu accompanied by multicolored text in ComicSans font in the foreground. The text, representing a kind of internal monologueof the dog, is deliberately written in a form of broken English, such as ‘suchdignified’ or ‘amaze.’
Doge(神烦狗)是2013年流行起来的一个网络热潮,主要内容是一张日本柴犬的照片表面添加ComicSans字体显示的各种颜色的文字。这些文字被认为是图中柴犬的内心独白,通常都用一些蹩脚的英语来表示,比如,suchdignified,或者amaze之类的。
On Tumblr, in addition to the captioned photos, the “doge” tag oftencontains images of a Shiba Inu whose facial features have been manipulated.
在Tumblr上,人们除了传播以doge为标签的图片以外,还会发一些人为加工过的柴犬图片。
Doge uses two-word phrases in which the first word is almost always one offive modifiers ("so", "such", "many", "much", and "very"), and the departurefrom correct English is to use the modifier with a word that it cannot properlymodify. For example, "Much respect. So noble." uses the doge modifiers but isnot "proper" doge because the modifiers are used in a formally correct fashion;the doge version would be "Much noble, so respect." In addition to thesephrases, a doge utterance often ends with a single word, most often "wow" butwith "amaze" and "excite" also being used.
“神烦狗”的独白通常包含两个词,第一个词基本上会是so, such, many,much和very当中的一个,与标准英语不同的是,神烦狗通常会用这些词来形容那些它们不应该形容的词。比如,much respect和sonoble看起来形式上像是神烦狗的表达方式,但却不是标准的神烦狗模式,因为这两个表达都太正确了,神烦狗会说“much noble,soresprce”。除了两个词的短语之外,神烦狗还会在句末加一个感叹词,最常用的是wow,amaze和excite也经常用到。
*背景*
这只可爱的柴犬叫Kabosu(かぼす,一种类似于日本柚子的水果,果汁很酸却有种独特的芳香,经常被用作烤鱼或生鱼片的调料),曾经被主人弃养,还差点遭到安乐死,2008年11月被现主人——日本一位幼儿园的老师AtsukoSato收养,生活才有了转变。
2010年2月23日,主人AtsukoSato在自己的博客上发布了Kabosu的一系列照片,其中一张照片中,柴犬倚靠在沙发上,前爪相叠,侧身瞪眼竖起眉毛,传神的表情令人忍俊不禁,照片迅速在美国的Reddit(美国最大的网上社区)和Tumblr(轻博客)等网络圈走红,最终出现在“柴犬的自白”(ShibaConfessions)博客中。
