生活英语|ROM brain 死脑筋

来源:www.huibianfa.com 2024-10-16

脑子这个词在中文里用处不少,大家可以说一个人have brains有脑子,也就是说这个人有想法;大家也可以说一个人have not a brain in ones head没脑子,那就是说这个人想法太简单、太单纯。还有一类人大家可以说他们死脑子或死脑筋,意思是说这种类型的人思想不灵活,不愿同意新事物。在英文里,就叫ROM brain。

ROM brain refers to a person who refuses to accept input1 and ideas from other people. It may also be someone who spews ideas and opinions but can't seem to accept input from the outside world.

只读型大脑指那些拒绝同意其他人劝告或想法的人(等于大家常说的死脑筋),也可以指四处发表见解却不愿同意外面信息的人。

This idea stems2 from the computer term ROM , a storage media where data cannot be modified, at least not very quickly or easily.

死脑筋之所以叫ROM brain是由于ROM在电脑术语中意为只读,存储在这些别存储媒介的数据一般是没办法修改的,至少不可以迅速或随便被修改。

For example:

He is not willing to take in any new ideas. A ROM brain indeed.

他不想同意任何新思想,是个地道的死脑筋。
