电话脖(phone neck)指把电话夹在肩膀和耳朵之间很长时间引起的颈部疼痛,是现代白领病的一种。
A variation on the theme is cellular2 phone neck, implausibly caused by a driver jamming a phone between his ear and shoulder so that he can keep both hands on the wheel.
这个词还有个衍生说法是“手机脖”(cellular phone neck),是驾驶员为了保证双手都在方向盘上,所以将手机夹在肩膀和耳朵之间引起的不适反应。
由此,我们可以类推出,“鼠标手”就是mouse hand,“电脑背”则是computer spine3。
