FOGO:害怕外出的“社交恐惧症”
英语课
厌倦了没完没了的社交应酬、厌烦了接二连三地在路上疲于奔命,不想再和一堆不认识的人浪费时间,进行毫无意义的无聊谈话,一提到聚会party就头大?你可能患上了“社交恐惧症”。
FOGO refers to the dread 1 of going out, particularly if one is tired from previous socializing; the desire to not attend a popular event that is over-hyped or over-commercialized.
“社交恐惧症”指害怕外出,尤其如果某人因此前的社交活动而对外出感到厌倦;不想参加被过分炒作或过于商业化的热门活动。
这个词实际是短语 fear of going out(害怕外出)首字母缩写组成的新词。类似相关的词还有 fear of missing 2 out(害怕错过)的首字母缩略词“社交控” FOMO,和 joy of missing out(错失的乐趣)的缩略词 JOMO,即不再害怕错过别人做的事情或说的话而体会到的愉悦。
For Example:
I believe that I have developed the opposite of FOMO, in fact: I have a case of FOGO, or Fear of Going Out. Okay, well not literally 3 a fear of going out. I still love a party. Always have and always will. But I have an active non-desire to attend the mass-Instagrammed events.
我认为我发明了“社交控”的反义词,事实上:我有“社交恐惧症”。呃,这并非字面上所表达的“惧怕外出”,我还是很喜欢聚会的,总是去参加而且以后也会经常参与。不过,我对那种大型图片分享式活动真的没啥兴趣。
又如:
Forget FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) — now we're more likely to have FOGO (Fear of Going Out), thanks to things like rush hour traffic, stressful work weeks and fast food delivery 4 services. But is staying in too much actually bad for us?
忘了“社交控”(害怕错过)吧,由于高峰时段堵车,“压力山大”的工作周和快餐送货服务这些事,如今我们更可能患上“社交恐惧症”。不过在家“宅”太久,实际上对我们来说不好吧?
