<< review queue entry 61667 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-translate-the-Chinese-net-lingo-%E6%A2%97-into-English-natively/answer/Augustus-Chen ------------------------- Q. 常常在微博中看到说“女人你这是在玩火”的话语，你这是在玩火是什么梗？ A. 现在你这是在玩火是什么梗多解释为：做危险的，作死的行为。 ---------------------- Q. 评论厉害了我的哥是什么梗 A. 一名中学生军训玩王者荣耀被教官抓住了，然后教官帮他把这把游戏玩完了，而在游戏过程中，无限超神附体，开启了大杀特杀的模式，队友纷纷表示：厉害了我哥! 随后这句口头禅很快被广泛传用了，大概意思就是表示对这件某人某事很惊叹~ ---------------------- Q. “买橘子”是什么梗 “买橘子”是最近网络上常见的梗，网络文化确实是丰富多彩，到底这个“买橘子”是什么梗，“买橘子”梗的出处在哪里 A. [...] 因此网络上把“买橘子”这个梗引申出来暗指“我是你爸爸”的意思，用来占别人的便宜。 ---------------------- Q. 乌鸦坐飞机是什么梗？ A. 乌鸦坐飞机，在成龙历险记的英文原版中Angry Crow Takes Flight。但是因为电视台可能在翻译时采用了机翻或者是翻译水平太低，将这一个本来挺霸气的招式名称直接翻译成了“乌鸦坐飞机”。 ---------------------------------- Editor: I got this wrong, I believe. A 梗 is some form of creative material such as a meme or a funny line. It's not the *story* behind (or the *explanation* of) the meme or the funny line. As Yves wrote: "In no language can sth mean both a meme and the origin of the meme. So when people ask, 'What's that meme about 乌鸦坐飞机?', others answer by explaining the meme--or the story." I'm still getting around to Mo's sub for 梗. I think I'm getting to the point where I can write a definition. |
