Teenagers on social networking site Bebo have created a secret language to stop adults knowing what they are up to, researchers say.
研究人員表示,青少年在社交網站Bebo上創造出一種讓大人看不懂他們想干什么,而只有他們自己能明白的秘密語言。
Youngsters are using slang words to keep parents and employers in the dark about their social activities such as partying and drinking.
青少年創造出這種新式表達方式,是為了不讓父母和雇主看懂他們在網上發起的聚會和喝酒之類的活動。
Instead of writing they are drunk, teens post "Getting MWI"--or mad with it.
如果要說自己喝醉了,他們不說"getting drunk",而是說"getting MWI",或者"mad with it"。
