“键盘侠”、“伸手党”的英译

joketuzi · 发表于 2022-4-26 13:36:59

用了各种汉英、反查词典，都没有“键盘侠”的地道英译，今天碰巧遇到一个单词，“ armchair general ”
一般的non-esl 、ESL字典都没有这个单词，用的在线“freedictionary”查到
One who speaks authoritatively on topics one actually knows little to nothing about.
勉强符合汉语一部分的含义

另外，“伸手党”的英译，不知道各位会翻译成什么？

特朗普用的“keyboard warrior”，是作为褒义用的，和中文环境下的“键盘侠”不是一个含义。

keyboard warrior用贬义没有问题，川普并没有用错，可以去查查ODE。
