    “未见其人,先闻其声”说的是某些人的声音很有辨识度,而且声音比较响亮,人还没来呢,声音就先到了。我们生活中有时候也会遇到这样的人,打电话的声音那叫一个嘹亮,恨不得周边一公里的人都能听到。

     

    Yellular is the loudness one adopts in response to a bad cell-phone connection, in the misguided hope that talking louder will improve the connection.

    Yellular指手机信号不好的时候提高音量讲话的状态,好像那样大声讲话手机信号就能变好一样。我们可以称为“喊叫模式”。

    这个yellular其实就是yell(喊叫)和cellular的合成词,我们的手机正式叫法是cellular phone(蜂窝电话),简称cell phone。

    Sometimes, some people just cannot help yelling whenever they are on the phone, it seems that their voice is not transmitted through phone signal but via a speaker.

    有时候,有些人只要一打电话就会开启大嗓门模式,就好像他们并不是靠手机信号来传输自己的声音,而是在通过大喇叭传话一样。

    For example:

    I'm so embarrassed. I went totally yellular at a restaurant last night. I was talking to my dad on the phone, but he just couldn't hear me no matter how loudly I spoke on this side.

    昨天晚上我在饭馆打电话时直接进入“喊叫模式”,可尴尬了。我当时在跟我爸爸打电话,我在这边很大声说话,他也听不到。
