Are you lonely? Bored? Trying to deflect questions about that special someone from Mom, Dad or your friends because there's nobody romantic in your life? 你寂寞吗?无聊吗?试图从爸爸妈妈或是好友转移问题,因为生活中的浪漫爱情遍寻不着。 Maybe you need an Invisible Boyfriend. 也许你需要的就是一个虚拟男友。 Yes, the Internet has a solution for everything, and Invisible Boyfriend (or Girlfriend) can take care of those pesky privacy-invading questions by supplying an actual person to call you, text you and leave you messages. They'll even send you handwritten notes. 是的,网络无所不能,而虚拟男友(女友)可以省去那些麻烦的侵犯个人隐私的问题,传送一个真人打电话给你,发短信给你,并给你留言。他们甚至还会亲手写下留言给你。 Why, that's sometimes better than an Actual Boyfriend! 为什么,有时候就是比现实中的男朋友还要好! Matthew Homann, who describes himself as a "recovering lawyer" with "idea surplus disorder," came up with the idea several years ago after a divorce and bought the domain InvisibleGirlfriend.com for $7. He filed it away until late 2013, when he pitched it to a St. Louis hackathon. A long weekend later, he and his team won the contest. 把自己形容为“脑补过剩混乱”的“复职律师”马修·霍曼,几年前在离婚后想出了这个主意,并花7美元注册InvisibleGirlfriend.com域名。直到2013年末,他才存档完毕,参加了圣路易斯的黑客马拉松活动。一个长周末过去后,他和他的团队赢了竞赛。 |
