如今在雅思口語中，mass media, social networking, celebrities都是頻頻出現(xiàn)的話題。說到這些話題時，很多小伙伴很容易就想到“噴子”“網(wǎng)紅”這類中文熱詞。但是放在英語里，我們應該怎么描述呢？
在今天的文章里我們就先講講“噴子”“網(wǎng)紅”，同時附上節(jié)選的外刊原文供大家學習理解，積累與話題相關的地道表達。
網(wǎng)絡噴子 - internet troll, online troll
troll一詞原本是指斯堪地那維亞神話中的山精，形象丑陋，品性邪惡、頑皮。
There’s a growing number of internet trolls because many people are under the impression that they can say anything online and get away with it. Social networking sites allow them to make up screen names/usernames that are not linked to their real-world identity. Therefore, they feel comfortable posting the most offensive comments.
be under the impression that....以為，認為
get away with ……（做了壞事而）逃避掉或不受責罰
screen names 網(wǎng)名
post comments 發(fā)評論
offensive 侵犯的，使人惱怒的
If you consider yourself to be pretty active on social media or other types of online communities, you may have experienced what many internet users call "internet trolls" or “being trolled.” Being trolled, or the act of trolling is something we all have to deal with increasingly as the Internet becomes more social.
你發(fā)現(xiàn)了嗎？
troll還可以做動詞，來表示在網(wǎng)上“噴”他人；如果是“被噴”，則可以用被動形式be trolled。
Now that almost anyone can comment on a status update, reply to a tweet, converse in a community thread or send an anonymous question, online trolls are absolutely everywhere. Instagram is especially bad because it s a very public platform that people use to post photos of themselves – inviting everyone and anyone to judge their appearances in the comment section.

Trolls can hide behind their computers, screen names and avatars when they go out trolling for trouble, and after they’re all done, they can carry on with their real lives without facing any real consequences.

網(wǎng)紅 - (internet) influencer, social media influencer, internet celebrity, cyber celebrity
Social media influencers are creating a new class of celebrities. They may not come from the entertainment industries like traditional celebrities, but many of them have millions of fans and some of them have found a way to translate those massive followings into millions of dollars each year.
entertainment industries 娛樂圈
translate …into…將…轉(zhuǎn)化為……
massive followings 巨大的粉絲量
Sponsored content on social media is familiar to most audiences, brands and creators by now, and it remains one of the top ways in which (internet) influencers make money.
sponsored content 推廣內(nèi)容
remain 仍然是，依舊是
Internet influencers have great appeal as personalities and celebrities, not just as social media accounts. Large influencers might appear on television commercials or on billboards advertising products.
