iPhone effect iPhone效应

Shortly after one person in the group brings out his or her iphone, the rest follow suit, ultimately ending all conversation and eye contact. This is called "iPhone effect".

一群人中的一个掏出自己的iPhone之后，很快其他人也一个个开始玩iPhone，最后所有的谈话和眼神交流都停止了。这就叫作“iPhone效应”。

Example:

"Hey, what do you want to order for drinks?" "Not sure, let's see what Imbibe Magazine has for their best beer this month." First iphone comes out of the pocket--enter safari search. Next iphone comes out--enter Facebook post. Third iphone makes an entrance -- the iphone effect has arrived.

“喂，你想点什么饮料啊？”“不知道呢，我看看Imbibe杂志本月推荐了什么好啤酒吧。”于是第一个iPhone从口袋里掏了出来，开始进入safari搜索。又一个iPhone也被拿出来，进入Facebook页面。第三个iphone也登场了……iPhone效应开始了。
