原标题:【双语汇】Nerd Culture/“书呆子”文化
当地时间11月12日,美国漫画界元老级人物斯坦·李(原名斯坦利·马丁·利伯)在好莱坞的一家医疗中心去世,享年95岁。作为“漫威之父”,斯坦·李创作了蜘蛛侠、绿巨人、复仇者联盟、钢铁侠、X战警等超级英雄形象,打造了酷炫奇妙的漫威宇宙,为如今席卷全球的“nerd culture”(“书呆子”文化)推波助澜。
据维基百科解释,A nerd is a person seen as overly intellectual, obsessive, introverted or lacking social skills. Such a person may spend inordinate amounts of time on unpopular, little known, or non-mainstream activities, which are generally either highly technical, abstract, or relating to topics of science fiction or fantasy, to the exclusion of more mainstream activities. Additionally, many so-called nerds are described as being shy, quirky, pedantic, and unattractive(Nerd被认为过于理智、执迷、内向、不善社交。这样的人对比较主流的活动不感兴趣,他们会花大量时间从事不流行、不出名或非主流的活动,通常要么技术性很强,要么非常抽象,要么与科幻或幻想有关。此外,据称许多所谓nerd都腼腆、古怪、迂腐、乏味)。想想看,斯坦·李笔下的超级英雄是不是都或多或少具有这些特征?
