多少新聞,多少網(wǎng)頁,多少博客,多少廣告都想讓網(wǎng)民們在不斷拿鼠標點擊,饑渴的尋找下一秒新鮮話題和新聞的過程中,能夠暫停動作,關(guān)注到他們。如果它們做到了,那么它們就成為了thumbstopper—“劃屏終結(jié)者”。
Thumbstopper refers to an eye-catching or compelling item that makes a person stop scrolling through a list of posts, particularly when using the thumb to scroll a touchscreen device.
“劃屏終結(jié)者”指的就是一個引人注目的產(chǎn)品或新聞,讓人們在不斷點擊新鮮話題的過程中停下腳步關(guān)注到,特別是在他們在用手指劃屏下拉時。
A lots of news have become the thumbstopper, from Malaysia Airlines plane crash a while ago to the official investigation recently, or the box office star the Tiny Times 3 and the celebrities taking drugs. There are some traits shared by those thumbstoppers, for instance, little presence, little contact with grass roots, as well as cross-field.
從前段時間的馬航失事到如今的官員審查,從票房驚人的《小時代3》到明星吸毒事件。“劃屏終結(jié)者”都有一些共同的特點,比如從未出現(xiàn),草根接觸少,而且不分領(lǐng)域.
Example:
I heard some breaking news from my informant. It would definitely become a thumbstopper tomorrow once I post it.
我從線人那里得到了一個驚天大新聞,明天我發(fā)布后肯定能成為“劃屏終結(jié)者”。
