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。
“过劳死”英语介绍中英对照：

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”。
