微博用英语是如何表达的呢？
<p> 从国外的<span word="twitter">twitter</span>到国内的微博，&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;微博这个词可谓大红大紫，我们常常把&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;微博叫成&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;围脖，那么微博用英语是如何表达的呢?</p><p> 有的小盆友可能会以为：<span word="Twitter">Twitter</span>不就是微博的意思吗?</p><p> 但小编要说明的是，<span word="Twitter">Twitter</span>严格说来还是一个网站的名称。当然，在实在不知道&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;微博这词儿的时候你把<span word="twitter">twitter</span>搬出来，老外也能明白你的意思。不过微博的准确表达确实不是<span word="twitter">twitter</span>。来看看维基百科对它的解释吧：</p><p> <span word="Twitter">Twitter</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="free">free</span> <span word="social">social</span> <span word="networking">networking</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="microblogging">microblogging</span> <span word="service">service</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="enables">enables</span> <span word="its">its</span> <span word="users">users</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="send">send</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="read">read</span> <span word="messages">messages</span> <span word="known">known</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="tweets">tweets</span>。</p><p> 由此，我们知道微博的标准英文应该是：<span word="microblog">microblog</span>或者<span word="tweets">tweets</span>。来用最近超热门的胡锦涛同志开博事件造个句：</p><p> <span word="China">China</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="President">President</span> <span word="startled">startled</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="internet">internet</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="weekend">weekend</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="opening">opening</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="micro">micro</span>-<span word="blog">blog</span> &<span word="ndash">ndash</span>; <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Chinese">Chinese</span> <span word="equivalent">equivalent</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Twitter">Twitter</span>。</p><p> 而和微博这一新玩意儿相关的英文单词还有哪些呢?我们也通过一句话来学习：</p><p> <span word="Tweets">Tweets</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="text">text</span>-<span word="based">based</span> <span word="posts">posts</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="to">to</span> 140 <span word="characters">characters</span> <span word="displayed">displayed</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="author">author</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="profile">profile</span> <span word="page">page</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="delivered">delivered</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="author">author</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="subscribers">subscribers</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="known">known</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="followers">followers</span>。</p><p> 由此可见，&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;博主就是<span word="author">author</span>，有时也被称为<span word="sender">sender</span>;而博主的追随者则被称为<span word="follower">follower</span>。</p>
