智慧手機vs翻蓋手機
智慧手機 smartphone
Microsoft Corp. and Nokia Corp. on Wednesday announced an alliance that will bringMicrosoft's Office and related software and services to Nokia smartphones.
週三微軟公司和諾基亞公司宣佈建立聯盟關係,微軟將向諾基亞的智慧手機提供Office套裝軟體和服務。
在上面的報道中,smartphone就是我們現在流行的“智慧手機”。Smart在該詞中的意思是“智慧的,智慧化的”。我們現在有smart card ***智慧卡***,smart dust***智慧微塵——具有電腦功能的超微型感測器***等。
和smart相結合的詞多和“聰明、靈巧”相關,如smart drink是“智慧飲料”***有益智功效的混合飲料***,smart mob是“聰明暴民、快閃族***指通過手機或其他方式聯絡後聚集、集體行動等的一群人***”。但是有的和smart沾邊的詞就沒那麼幸運了,像smart-ass是“自作聰明的人”,而smart mouth則是“說話放肆的人”。
另外,smart還可以解釋為“時髦的”,例如 smart casual就是“休閒且時髦的服飾”。
