芙蓉姐姐、犀利哥、兽兽、凤姐......他们就是对cewebrity“网络名人”的绝佳诠释。来看cewebrity的双语解释:
Anybody with an Internet connection and a computer can now become a cewebrity. A cewebrity is somebody who is only, or perhaps mostly famous through their presence on the Internet, an Internet personality who crosses over to the mainstream. A web celebrity. A cewebrity.
现在,一台电脑加一条网线就可以让任何人成为“网络名人”。所谓“网络名人”就是指那些只在网络上走红或者主要通过网络走红的人,也可以指从网络跨界到主流媒体的名人。所以,cewebrity其实就是web(网络)上的celebrity(名人)。
来看下面这个例子:
This is an age where a video of someone dancing and pretending to sing a famous song can get them an appearance on TV shows and magazines. It’s an age of cewebrity!
这是一个只要发个跳舞或者假装翻唱名曲的视频就能让你在电视节目和杂志上露露脸的时代。这是一个网络名人的时代!
