Lolz 为什么是个“好玩”的新词

内容简介 也许你见过网络流行词“LOL”，它是“laughing out loud 哈哈大笑”的缩写形式。但是你认识下面这个和它看起来很像的新词“lolz”吗？在本集《》里，Neil 把头发染成了粉色，他说这样做是为了“lolz”，这个词到底是什么意思？看视频，学习一个“好玩”的英语口语说法。

大家好，欢迎来到 BBC 英语教学制作的《》节目，我是冯菲菲。 

Neil

And I’m Neil. 

And Neil – you look different. I just can’t tell what it is… 

Neil

Oh, you mean my hair? My pink hair? 

Yes, why on earth did you do that?! Neil 染了一头粉色的头发，他这到底是要干什么？ 

Neil

Ah, you know me, . I did it for the lolz!

Right. Well, it is pretty… funny.

Neil

Thanks. It’s my birthday today and I thought I’d do something fun. If you do something ‘for the lolz’, it means you do it for fun. 

Neil 说他染头发的目的就是为了“好玩”。现代英语中，新词“lolz”的意思是“玩笑，逗乐”。如果你“do something for the lolz”，那么你做这件事其实就是为了“开个玩笑，找个乐儿”。Oh, and happy birthday by the way. 

Neil

Younger every year. Now, lolz is a close relation of another slang term: LOL. 

Lolz 和 LOL 两个词象亲戚一样。LOL 是“laughing out loud 大声笑”的缩写，大家通常在发短信或社交媒体上使用它，用来感叹某件事“好笑，有趣”。比如：Neil, your hair looks amazing, LOL. 

Neil

Why is that a joke? My hair does look great. Anyway. Lolz can be used in the same way. 

Your hair looks amazing, lolz. 

Neil

Thanks. Or we can use it in the phrase ‘for the lolz’ as I mentioned earlier. 

咱们来听些例句吧！ 

Neil

Or I could play my banjo, for the lolz?

Maybe later! Listen to these examples. 

Examples

A: You’re putting so many chillies on your pizza?! Why?

B: For the lolz. Gonna be hot! 

I collect teapots. Everyone tells me it’s pointless but I do it for the lolz. 

I’m going to convince everyone I’m an astronaut, just for the lolz.

好了，以上列举了 lolz 的使用方法。So, how long will your hair stay pink, Neil?

Neil

It’s permanent. Unless I dye it again. 

Seriously?

Neil

Just kidding. Anyway, , I’ve got an idea. 

Oh, yeah? 

Neil

Why don’t you… walk through the office singing Happy Birthday to me? 

But… Why?

Neil

For the lolz, of course! 

Of course. Bye. 

Neil

Goodbye.
