今年,难民这个词一直很热门,欧洲各国因为对难民的态度不同也时有争论。其实,在我们身边,也有一些“难民”。他们可能因为没有赶上末班车,或者临时来到这个城市,还没有找到落脚的地方,于是,他们就选择24小时营业的快餐店过夜。
“麦难民”、“麦游戏族”都是什么?
McRefugees is a neologism referring to those who stay overnight in McDonald's24-hour fast food restaurant.
“麦难民”是新出现的一个词,指在麦当劳24小时店里过夜的人。
The term was first created in Japanese language, which originally means"net cafe refugee", people sleep in 24-hour Internet cafes or mangacafes. In Japan, most McDonald's restaurants are operated around the clock. Dueto unemployment and high rents and transportation costs, McRefugees are forcedto stay at a McDonald's overnight.
这个说法最早源于日本,最初指在24小时网吧或者漫画咖啡店过夜的人。在日本,多数麦当劳都是通宵营业的。由于失业高房租以及交通支出等因素,不少人都选择在麦当劳过夜。于是就有了McRefugee(麦难民)这个说法。
The phenomenon and word spread to Hong Kong, where some McRefugees play videogames and are known as McGamers.
后来,这个现象和说法又传到了香港,不少人在麦当劳里过夜打游戏,于是又被称为“麦游戏族”。
