“網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像頭”怎么說
[ 2007-05-28 08:39 ]
自從網(wǎng)絡(luò)聊天工具有了視頻聊天功能以后，這個小小的攝像頭幾乎成了聊天必不可少的伴侶。“網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像頭”怎么用英文來表達(dá)？看下面這段有關(guān)美國移民政策與一對跨國婚姻之間的“是非恩怨”。
Keith Campbell woke alone on his 47th birthday. He and his wife spent the day
half a world apart because of an immigration dispute that culminated in the
Japanese-born Akiko Campbell being barred from the United States after making
her home here for almost nine years.
"It's kind of a surreal thing," Keith Campbell said recently as he waited to
have his daily Web-cam computer chat
with Akiko, 41, and his two sons, ages 4 and 1, who are in Nagano, Japan. "We
haven't done anything wrong."
報道說，美國移民局最近遣送一日本籍女子回國，原因是她9年前在申請“移民證”時涉嫌造假。如今，這名女子只能通過“網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像頭”和她在美國的丈夫“兩兩相望”。
報道中的“Webcam”指的就是“網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像頭”。如果仔細(xì)觀察，您會發(fā)現(xiàn)，“Webcam”的得來源于英語中最常見的造詞法：web + camera -
webcam。
看下面一個例句：Using the Internet for online sexual talk or cavorting in front of a
Webcam is regarded as cheating on your spouses.
人們認(rèn)為，在網(wǎng)上聊一些下流的話題或通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像頭打情罵俏都是對配偶不忠的表現(xiàn)。
