One of the biggest stunts online and in social media had very low-key beginnings on the professional golf circuit.
网络和社交媒体上最火爆的活动之一，其实是在专业高尔夫球场上低调开始的。
The so-called ice-bucket challenge - dump ice water on yourself, post and tag yourself on social media and challenge others to do the same - got its start among golfers as a way to support pet charities. In just a few weeks, it has become a major fundraising coup for patients and organizations with ALS, a neurodegenerative disorder.
One common stipulation gives 24 hours to complete the dare from the time they are nominated; otherwise, the participant has to donate at least $100 to the ASL Association.
根据惯例，被提名者要在被提名的24小时内完成挑战，否则就要向ASL协会捐出至少100美元。

双十一已成为让"剁手族"疯狂的一场血拼盛宴。你知道"剁手族"用英文怎么说吗？
The world's biggest online shopping day on Nov 11 has ended with record sales of RMB57.1 billion for China's Alibaba. Taobao said that the number of the so-called "hands-chopping people" has reached 1.08 million out of its 500 million registered customers.
Dobe is a Japanese slang word for "idiot". Chinese youngsters use it to refer to a ridiculous person who is a stranger, or a funny one who is a friend.
"逗比"是日语里用来形容笨蛋的俚语。中国的年轻人用它来形容那些荒唐的陌生人或好笑的朋友。
We can comprehend this composite word as a funny 2B (idiot). Simply put, it means someone is funny, a little silly and cute. With its widespread use, more and more people consider it a neutral word. If we use it to describe a stranger, we are more talking of a stupid stranger. If it alludes to a friend, then it is used to mock and make fun of the friend.
He's such a dobe. He used the dice to decide his answers in the multiple choice questions.
他就是个逗比。他用骰子决定多选题答案。

你的朋友圈上有没有这样的朋友？他们基本上会对你或者每一个朋友发的东西点赞，这样的人我们叫他easy like - 点赞狂人。
An easy like gives up their "likes" almost indiscriminately. Typically they will "like" almost any post you make, regardless of how mundane or unlikeworthy it actually was.
一般来说，点赞狂人点赞无国界，他们几乎对什么都点赞，不管它们是否无聊或值得被赞。
He "likes" your coffee, your phiz, even your book. It seems that "like" has become another way of expressing emotions whether happy, sad, boring or astonishing.
Jet setting lifestyle refers to a lavish lifestyle the rich leads.
土豪生活就是富人所拥有的一种奢侈的生活方式。
Pixie has hundreds of photographs showing off her lavish lifestyle online. In one she sits dressed in shades and a sun hat, posing by a pool at a luxury villa sipping at a non-alcoholic cocktail with the air of a millionaire lady.
Friendvertising is the use of social media website "friends" to disseminate video adverts for products. Some videos have an apparently good message that people want to share and others are heart-warming or funny, but all are covert brand endorsements.
Rebound guy/girl is a guy/girl used on the sideline by an individual if he/she thinks his/her relationship is going to end.
"备胎"就是一个人觉得一段感情快要结束时，留在身边"备用"的暧昧男/女。
Rebound guy/girl would do anything for you or accompany you once you ask, for instance, having a lunch, seeing a film or going to a concert. Also, they would never go Dutch but take care of you for everything. Apart from that, they are likely to bring you gifts if they happen to be born loaded including luxury bags, laptops, jewelry as long as you are joyful.
When someone shows off to his or her friends anything from a newly bought bargain to a weight loss achieved in a short time, some of the friends will say, as an indirect flatter, that it is an act of courting envy.
Jane is showing off her newly bought LV handbag on her WeChat, that's just courting envy.
简在她的微信朋友圈里晒她新买的LV包包，这简直是在拉仇恨嘛。
