青年一代的“斷網(wǎng)抑郁癥”

據(jù)說，現(xiàn)在大家出門旅行找住處的時候打聽的第一件事兒是“有沒有WIFI？”拿著手機卻上不了網(wǎng)，這已經(jīng)是很多人都無法忍受的事情。所以呢，到了完全沒有網(wǎng)絡的地方，平時的“低頭族”們不犯抑郁癥才怪呢！

Postmodem depression is the unpleasant feeling you get when you haven't had access to the Internet (i.e. QQ, Weibo and WeChat) for a "long" time, like several minutes. You don't have appetite, not in the mood to enjoy beautiful scenery or talk to people, the only thing you care about is where you can find a WIFI hotspot.
Postmodem depression（斷網(wǎng)抑郁癥）指無法連接到網(wǎng)絡（也就是不能刷微博、微信和QQ）很“長”時間時的郁悶心情，這里所謂的很“長”時間，其實可能也就幾分鐘而已。就因為這樣，你沒有胃口吃東西，無心欣賞美景，也不愿跟人說話，一心只想找個能幫你上網(wǎng)的WIFI熱點。

比如，一家人出去度假：

Mom: Johnny, come to dinner!
媽媽：強子，吃飯了！

Johnny: Not hungry!
強子：不餓！

Mom (to dad): What the hell is wrong with him?
媽媽對爸爸說：這孩子咋啦？

Dad: He's got postmodem depression; he can't update his WeChat Moments.
爸爸：沒有網(wǎng)，郁悶了，刷不了朋友圈。

Mom: But we have only been here for 15 minutes.
媽媽：可是我們剛到這兒15分鐘而已啊。。。
