鼠标手拟入职业病
现代办公室里，估计很少有人是上班不用电脑的吧。于是，“鼠标手”、“电脑背”之类的职业病就开始出现了。不过，今天我们说的这个词，繁忙的办公族会得，爱煲电话粥的主妇也有可能会得，这个病叫phone neck。Phone neck refers to neck pain caused by holding a telephone between one's shoulder and ear for extended periods. It is one of the modern white-collar ailments.
电话脖(phone neck)指把电话夹在肩膀和耳朵之间很长时间引起的颈部疼痛，是现代白领病的一种。
A variation on the theme is cellular phone neck, implausibly caused by a driver jamming a phone between his ear and shoulder so that he can keep both hands on the wheel.
这个词还有个衍生说法是“手机脖”(cellular phone neck)，是驾驶员为了保证双手都在方向盘上，所以将手机夹在肩膀和耳朵之间引起的不适反应。
由此，我们可以类推出，“鼠标手”就是mouse hand，“电脑背”则是computer spine。
[b]“过劳死”英语介绍中英对照：
[/b]
Karōshi （過労死）, which can be translated literally from Japanese as "death from overwork", is occupational sudden death. Although this category has a significant count, Japan is one of the few countries that reports it in the statistics as a separate category. The major medical causes of karōshi deaths are heart attack and stroke due to stress.
过劳死，源自日语，是一种职业性的突然死亡，因工作过度致死。其原因为由压力引起的心脏病发作，或是长期疲倦所导致的中风致死。
The first case of karōshi was reported in 1969 with the death from a stroke of a 29-year-old male worker in the shipping department of Japan’s largest newspaper company. It was not until the later part of the 1980s, during the Bubble Economy, however, when several high-ranking business executives who were still in their prime years suddenly died without any previous sign of illness, that the media began picking up on what appeared to be a new phenomenon. This new phenomenon was quickly labeled karōshi and was immediately seen as a new and serious menace for people in the work force. In 1987, as public concern increased, the Japanese Ministry of Labour began to publish statistics on karōshi.
第一宗有纪录的过劳死个案发生于日本，当中一名工作在日本最大的报纸公司二十九岁的海外运输部男员工，在他工作期间突然中风身亡。事件最初不为留意，直到1980年代泡沫经济破灭，同公司几位较高职位的行政人员正值壮年，却在没有明显疾病的情况下猝死。当地传媒马上针对事件报道，并很快把这种现象称为“过劳死”。 terrify~ phone neck
