Phubbing refers to the activity of being impolite in a social situation by looking at your phone instead of paying attention to the person you are with.Phubbing指在社交场合不关注身边的人,而是一个劲看手机的不礼貌行为,我们可称之为“低头症”。

Have you ever been chatting to a friend and succumbed to the temptation, mid-conversation, of checking your mobile and apologetically interrupting the flow because you just can't resist replying to a text message? If so, then you're guilty of a 21st century impropriety now known as phubbing. People who can’t help checking their phones during a conversation are known as phubbers.你有没有过这样的经历,跟朋友聊天的过程中忍不住想看手机,然后很抱歉地暂停你们的对话,因为你实在忍不住要回个短信?如果有的话,那么你就是21世纪无礼行为“低头症”的一份子。

跟人聊天时老忍不住看手机的人就被称为“低头族”。

The word phubbing and its related derivations first appeared in 2012, formed from a blend of the noun phone and verb snub meaning 'to insult someone by ignoring them'.Phubbing一词及其衍生词最早出现在2012年,由名词phone和表示“怠慢”的动词snub组合而成。

Opinion polls indicate that a one-to-one conversation is the most frustrating situation in which to be phubbed, causing the victim to feel as if the other person is disinterested in them or the conversation in general. Travelling with someone in a car or on public transport, however, is deemed to be the most 'acceptable' situation in which phubbing could take place.

同别人乘车或公共交通工具出行时则是“低头症”最易被接受的场合。

Cellphone feels like a part of your body? A global survey has found that most people can't live without their mobiles, never leave home without them and, if given a choice, would rather lose their wallet.Calling mobile phones the "remote control" for life, market research firm Synovate's poll said cell phones are so ubiquitous that by last year more humans owned one than did not.Three-quarters of the more than 8,000 respondents polled online in 11 countries said they take their phone with them everywhere, with Russians and Singaporeans the most attached.More than a third also said they couldn't live without their phone, topped by Taiwanese and again Singaporeans, while one in four would find it harder to replace the mobile than their purse.Some two-thirds of respondents go to bed with their phones nearby and can't switch them off, even though they want to, because they're afraid they'll miss something."Mobiles give us safety, security and instant access to information. They are the number one tool of communication for us, sometimes even surpassing face-to-face communication. They are our connections to our lives," Jenny Chang, Synovate's managing director in Taiwan, said in a statement.Mobiles have also changed the nature of relationships, with the survey finding nearly half of all respondents use text messages to flirt, a fifth set up first-dates via text and almost the same number use the same method to end a love affair.Apart from the obvious calling and texting, the top three features people use regularly on their mobile phones globally are the alarm clock, the camera and the games.话题:Can you live without a mobile phone?范例1:It is indeed difficult to live without a mobile phone as it helps us in day to day activities. I cannot live without a mobile phone. Today's generation uses mobile phones for chatting, surfing and playing games. They don't use the mobile phone for the real purpose. I admit that living without a mobile phone is extremely difficult but I can live without addicting apps like Facebook, Twitter etc. The iPhone is a gadget that is encouraging to use social apps and addicting games. These gadgets though facilitate our work but are making us their slaves. For example, if a person's iPhone is not working properly, he will be filled with anger. As new technology is creating new gadgets, so are people raising new demands. They also hamper academics. Buy a mobile phone but use it for something productive.范例2:I have heard a beautiful poetry, written by a novelist, Amy Cheung. With a little adjustment, it can vividly depict the alienation among people in reality - "The further distance in the world is not between life and death. But when I stand in front of you, your eyes turn to your smartphone; don’t know that I love you."The smartphone has been gaining a great popularity, becoming a toxic compulsion. It has invaded our lives and occupied all our interstitial time. It is so commonly seen that the smartphone addicts attend to their phone, ignoring everything. Even meeting with friends, they often pull out the phone in order to take a photo, check a message or even play with a game. Seeming connected with the whole world, they have actually fiddled the conversation and done harm to the relationship.It is high time that we threw away the phone and raised our heads up. Do cherish the ones around us and appreciate the splendid scenery ahead of us.范例3:A sage used to say, the 21st century is the era of smart phone. As the man who made up this sage, I’m so glad to see that the smart phone plays a significant role in people’s daily life.Today, you can see people who bend their head and use their fingers to prick the keys of the phone everywhere. More and more people have become totally dependant on this little gadget. If there’s some dysfunction happened on the little thing, its master would definitely turn agitated, nervous and sometimes depressed. This is the syndrome of mobile dependency which is epidemic especially in young people.We people invent a lot of things to make us convenient. However these things finally become new yoke for us. This is the doom of human being who continues to break down old shackles and at the same time forge new shackles. The invention of smart phone, it’s a gift for us and also acurse.take your head out of your phone。
