逃离社交圈的“飞行模式”
Airplane mode (or flight mode) means someone cuts themselves off from the world by not logging on to social networking sites or checking their cell phones。 This usually occurs after a breakup or a rough work week。
“飞行模式”指不上社交网站,也不开手机,完全与外界切断联系的状态。这种情况通常在遭遇分手或者经过一周艰苦工作后出现。
This usage is derived from the cell phone setting of the same name which suspends many of the device‘s signal transmitting functions – thereby disabling the device’s capacity to place or receive calls or text messages。
这种用法来源于手机设置中的“飞行模式”,手机处于这种模式时,电话和短信等需要信号传输的功能都不能使用。
For example:
Dan won‘t answer your calls。 He’s in airplane mode。
丹不会接你电话的。他现在处于“飞行模式”。
