catfish怎么理解?
catfish这个词一直以来的本意是鲶鱼,也叫做猫鱼,即一种淡水鱼。
但十多年前,这个古老的词被引入了一个新的意思,也就是它的俚语版本,由于在线约会、社交媒体和信息平台的增加,catfish也融入了网络文化,现在指在网上不真实地展示自己的欺骗行为,就比如我们常说的照骗。
牛津词典:
(US English, informal)
a person who pretends to be somebody else, usually somebody who does not really exist, on social media in order to trick somebody into having a relationship online
(美式英语,非正式用法)在社交媒体上伪装身份来欺骗他人,尤其是以发展网恋为目的的人
维基百科对它也有一个定义:
Catfishing is a deceptive activity in which a person creates a fictional persona or fake identity on a social networking service, usually targeting a specific victim. The practice may be used for financial gain, to compromise a victim in some way, as a way to intentionally upset a victim, or for wish fulfillment.
Catfish是一种欺骗行为,指一个人在社交网络服务上创建一个虚构的角色或假身份,通常是针对特定的受害者而定制的。这种做法可能被用来获取经济利益,或胁迫受害者以实现他的目的。
例句:
If a random, attractive person starts talking to you online, you are very likely being catfished.
如果忽然有个很有魅力的陌生人在网上开始和你聊天,你很可能是他钓鱼交友的对象。
