剛剛踏進“新婚門”的孫悅日前一頭栽進了“斂財門”,由于她的官方網站向歌迷收費,孫悅被扣上了利用網站斂財的帽子。不過,孫悅本人否認了“斂財”這一說法,并認為自己“官網”的某些收費做法并無不妥,比如,非“官網”會員須得交納一定費用才能下載手機鈴音。
請看《中國日報》相關新聞報道:Pop singer Sun Yue has been recently condemned by netizens who claimed that Sun used her official site to collect money from fans. Fans could become a club member only when they agree to pay 10 yuan per month. Additionally, non-club members need to pay 1 yuan if they want to download mobile phone ringtones.
由報道可知,掛在網民口邊的“手機鈴音下載”可表達為“to download mobile phone ringtones”,不言而喻,“手機鈴音”就是mobile phone ringtone或可簡單表示為ringtone。
既然提到了鈴音,我們這里順便再提幾個相關詞匯——“彩鈴”可用polyphonic ringtone來表示,“和弦鈴”則是chord music ringtone,“按鍵音”和“提示音”的相應表達為keypad tone和warning tone。
另外,撇開這起網上的是非官司,“手機鈴音”近日可是風光無限,它終于從草民階層脫穎而出,被收入《韋氏大詞典》100熱門新詞,相關信息可點擊雙語新聞Do you know“mouse potatoes”?
