近两年,有一只日本柴犬在网上很有名。聊天工具里有以它为主题的表情包,社交网站上有专门为它设的标签话题,它还有专属的社交网站账号。什么?你没听说过? Doge is an Internet meme that became popular in 2013. The meme typically consists of a picture of a Shiba Inu accompanied by multicolored text in Comic Sans font in the foreground. The text, representing a kind of internal monologue of the dog, is deliberately written in a form of broken English, such as ‘such dignified’ or ‘amaze.’ Doge(神烦狗)是2013年流行起来的一个网络热潮,主要内容是一张日本柴犬的照片表面添加Comic Sans字体显示的各种颜色的文字。这些文字被认为是图中柴犬的内心独白,通常都用一些蹩脚的英语来表示,比如,such dignified,或者amaze之类的。 On Tumblr, in addition to the captioned photos, the “doge tag often contains images of a Shiba Inu whose facial features have been manipulated. 在Tumblr上,人们除了传播以doge为标签的图片以外,还会发一些人为加工过的柴犬图片。 Doge uses two-word phrases in which the first word is almost always one of five modifiers ("so", "such", "many", "much", and "very"), and the departure from correct English is to use the modifier with a word that it cannot properly modify. For example, "Much respect. So noble." uses the doge modifiers but is not "proper" doge because the modifiers are used in a formally correct fashion; the doge version would be "Much noble, so respect." In addition to these phrases, a doge utterance often ends with a single word, most often "wow" but with "amaze" and "excite" also being used. |
