【英美語文】宅男的英文

[米蘭遊人 10]

有人知道宅男的英文怎麼寫嗎？

[Herder- Wenzel I. 10]

直接從日文音譯

Otaku

這裡是維基百科的說明

但是台灣的宅男跟日本的宅男已經有分歧了

我們講的宅男是成天呆在家裡上網、沒女朋友、講話遲鈍內向者

但是日本的宅男是對動漫有狂熱愛好者

日本還有軍事おたく、鉄道おたく等等的

在原本的「宅男」意思其實比較接近「狂熱愛好者」

所以我個人認為

竟然已經完全跟日本用法不同

我們台灣說的宅男應該翻成　Zhainan

[MikiRei 10]

Technically, it should be "hikikomori" - again, from Japanese, meaning "to be confined or to pull away". They use this term to describe people who keep themselves at home and stay away from society - which is closer to the Taiwanese term I guess.

However, if you use hikikomori, noone will understand you. Hardly anyone know this term. Otaku gives the wrong impression that you're a Japanese manga/anime fanatic ie. You're a pervert, because that's the general stereotypical view of "otakus". Still, only a handful of people actually know that term.

A better term is unsociable. Or, for a bit of humour, just say that you're one of those people who stay at home playing computers and don't really socialise much and seriously need a life. People will get you straight away, WITHOUT making the atmosphere awkward since you'll all be able to have a bit of a laugh.

Or, you can say you're a geek....or nerd....provided that you actually are. Or even better, just say you play Warcraft. Enough said. :p

General answer to the question is, there's no such term. Not REALLY anyways. We generally just say "those who don't have a life". Watch South Park episode from season 10 called "Make Love Not Warcraft". That's closest I guess.

In fact, here's a link:

我記得有個形容詞是...cocooning...應該算是像這種人吧!?

不過那是一般的認知....

實際上宅男.腐女什麼的似乎是說狂熱動漫.同人等等的東西

甚至是...羅莉控!?

宅網路的應該叫做cybernaut 好像是最近演化出來的名詞?!

[MikiRei 10]

cocooning

That.....doesn't...sound right. Put it in a sentence?

[cysh310411 10]

我記得看過一部影集

用一句英文來形容宅男還蠻貼切的

就是"No life"

[MikiRei 10]

Yes, yes. We've established that before. As previously mentioned, there's no official term. No life is the closet you can get.

geek 或 nerd 吧

好像沒有單字能完整詮釋台灣的宅宅

[田崎 10]

Nerdy

there is a short film in "Youtube"

white&nerdy

.....a song

a little silly

[MikiRei 10]

That song's actually a parody of another hip hop/R&B song - it's done by Al Yankovich. His songs are ALWAYS parodies of current, popular songs (and they RULE).

Examples

Avril Lavigne's "It's Complicated" is parodied by him to become "It's Constipated"

James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" is parodied as "You're pitiful" or "My Cubicle"

R Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" series is parodied as "Trapped in the Drive-Thru"

Heh - I think he's awesome :p

你可以去youtube

收尋一個叫" white&nerdy "的MV看

Nerdy

nerdy 不是形容詞嗎?

[MikiRei 10]

Seeing this is more a CULTURE thing, I'm going to see what urban dictionary have.

A person who has one or more of the following attributes:

1) Has a hard drive that is 40gb or larger

2) Use pick up lines that references the size of his or her hard drive

3) Enjoys performing Net Send shenanigans

4) Thinks that SQL injection is more rad than sex

5) Loves them some Linux

6) The only naked women that they have seen is via internet porn.

*laughs uncontrollably* Yeah - ok - fine then.

As for "geek"

1. The people you pick on in high school and wind up working for as an adult

2. The term "geek" originally referred to the carnival performers whose act consisted of biting the heads off chickens and eating glass. Over time it came to be applied to anyone who got paid to do work considered odd or bizarre by mainstream society.

The term now enjoys a special status within the technical community, particularly among particularly knowledgeable computer programmers. To identify oneself as a "geek" indicates a recognition that most people still consider programming computers to be a bizarre act, along with a certain fierce satisfaction in being very good at their inglorious profession.

That most software geeks now easily earn twice as much as the average laborer just sweetens their defiant embrace of the term.

Note: Unlike the word "nerd," which is always pejorative, "geek" often carries a positive connotation when used by one of the group. The use of the term by outsiders is considered insulting.

3.

Not to be confused with Nerd. A geek does not have to be smart, a Geek is someone who is generally not athletic, and enjoys Video Games; Comic Books; being on the internet, and etc.

4.

It doesn't seem to refer to 'computer programmers' as much as it once did when computers weren't so damn cool handy. Geeks are pretty much people who have a real understanding for a certain topic eg. Films, music, cars. It's usually that they are totally obsessed about the topic, or it's just something they think alot on.

應該就是"宅"的意思

不要被那個MV的翻譯人員騙了，nerd並不是宅，nerd是指很會讀書不會社交的天才。你看的個MV裡面他會piscal, Klingon, 讀MIT, 玩D&D, 讀Steven Hawkins, 寫wikipedia, 用鍵盤玩踩地雷……

那跟中文說的宅是不一樣的。

[geminizin 10]

如果是日本的意思的話可以用

xxx-fetish

xxx就是看他對哪方面熱中了

[逍遙青雲龍 10]

"Nerdy" is the adjective , "Nerd" may be its noun.

I remember that I've heard the short music in the youtube before.

I think the song is great!
