时间：2018-12-29 作者：英语课 分类：英语课程学习计划和讲义
Nerd Pride Day, also called Geek Pride Day, is a fun and serious day that celebrates nerds and geeks. Anyone around the world can feel proud to be a nerd or geek on this day. The day started in 2006 and takes place on May 25. This is a very special date because it is the world premiere of the first Star Wars movie in 1977. The day is a Spanish creation 1 but crossed the Atlantic in 2008. It is now officially celebrated 2 in America and other countries. Many nerd and geek bloggers hold parades and write special blogs about nerdiness and geekiness. There is a manifesto 3 that contains the basic rights and responsibilities of nerds. This includes the right to be “even nerdier;” to “not leave your house;” and to “have few friends (or none at all)”.
It is hard to find a definition of a nerd or geek on the Internet. perhaps the best clue is; “You know one when you see one.” A few common characteristics of nerds and geeks might include the following: 1. Having dreams of achieving things normal people don’t have. 2. Being unusually interested in technology, especially more unusual hardware and software. 3. An interest in a hobby or pastime 4 others might think is obsessive 5. Geeks are extremely important to society. It was because they stayed at home, had big dreams and spent hours every day on their hobby that we now have computers. Nerds and geeks tend not to be interested in modern fashions and are not always the best at sports and dancing.
