澳洲从林书豪引发的新词汇看英语的灵活性

在澳大利亚英语学习




Lin-puns, including
Lintense,
Linning,
Lincredible,
Thrilling,
Lin and a prayer,
Super Lintendo,
VaLintine's Day,
Linderella (这个最传神)
Linsanity.

例句:
great O'Neal can't stop singing his praises.
"Linderrella story of the year," O'Neal tweeted.
"jeremy lin has lingle handedly played lensational lincredible I'm linpressed 不服不行 all he does is Lin Lin Lin."

由字母构成的文字都有这种灵活性。但这些词汇可能只是暂时性的。。。希望一直流传但是。。。

中文多半是在谐音上做文章。。。

A star is born (and so is a story about Jeremy Lin without a pun in the headline)

Jeremy Lin a slam-dunk for the Knicks
Already writing the NBA's best story, Jeremy Lin has now scripted a thrilling finish.
Autoplay OnOffVideo feedbackVideo settings
The plot keeps thickening - all of it seemingly from Hollywood - and so do the puns.

At its core are the elements of a compelling underdog epic - rejection, persistence, setback, surprise, triumph and some luck.

Jeremy Lin was never offered an athletic scholarship, was never drafted by an NBA team, was dropped by the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets and was days away from being let go by the New York Knicks.

But after star players Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony were unable to play in early February, the Knicks turned to Lin.

And he has responded in amazing fashion.

Lin, a 23-year-old Harvard University economics graduate, has produced the best five-game starting debut in modern NBA history.

His averages of 23.3 points and 7.4 assists surpass those of such legends as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal.

"Linsanity" was born, and even Barack Obama, the President of the United States - a big basketball fan - was taking notice.

"He's the greatest story in sports right now," Knicks teammate Jared Jeffries said of Lin.

"He was five or six days from being cut and now he is a catalyst for a team that's playing as good as any in the NBA ... You can't ask any more of a kid coming into this situation."

Dismissed, overlooked and undervalued

The 191-centimetre son of two 168-centimetre engineers from Taiwan, Lin had been dismissed, overlooked and undervalued as a basketball player.


Merchandise galore ... Jeremy Lin items are proving popular. Photo: AP
A former editor of his high school paper, the As on his report card were as straight as the edge of a ruler.

Only six weeks ago, this came from Lin's Twitter: "Everytime i try to get into Madison Square Garden, the security guards ask me if im a trainer. LOL."

But he is having the last LOL.


Roar of approval ... Jeremy Lin has taken the NBA by storm. Photo: Reuters
Now he's a basketball rock star and NBA great O'Neal can't stop singing his praises.

"Linderrella story of the year," O'Neal tweeted.

"jeremy lin has lingle handedly played lensational lincredible I'm linpressed all he does is Lin Lin Lin."


Linsanity ... Jeremy Lin, in action for the Golden State Warriors. Photo: Getty Images
The success of Lin has spawned a seemingly unending number of Lin-puns, including Lintense, Linning, Lincredible, ThrillLin, Lin and a prayer, Super Lintendo, VaLintine's Day, Linderella and of course, Linsanity.

On February 20, Lin will be on the cover of Sports Illustrated, the US sports magazine announced yesterday.

"It's been pretty surreal," Lin said about his sudden fame.

"I'm just really trying to wake up every day and enjoy it, soak it all in; at the same time stay focused."

Wake up where? Usually, the couch in brother Josh's one-bedroom apartment on the Lower East Side of New York.

International fame

On the web, fans can buy "Lin Your Face" and "LIN.Y.C." shirts from the site www.linsanity.com.

The domain names Linsanity.com, Lincredible.com, JeremyLin.com and TheJeremyLinShow.com have already been registered.

In Asia, Lin's popularity is the highest of any NBA player since the retirement of former Houston Rockets centre Yao Ming of China.

"Lin-Sanity: Coming from Behind to Score Five Wins in a Row", Taiwan's mass-circulation United Daily News roared across its front page after another successful weekend for Lin, the first US-born NBA player of Chinese descent.

"Hao the God: Writing a New York Legend", the Taipei-based China Times said, coining a nickname based on the basketball prodigy's Chinese name, Lin Shu-hao.

Taiwanese sports journalists have gone into overdrive to unveil new tidbits of Lin-ology, interviewing relatives in central Taiwan and excavating long-forgotten examples of academic work that got him into Harvard.

A star is born?

Lin is devout and open about his beliefs. He's NFL quarterback Tim Tebow in short pants. Except, Tebow was a first-round draft pick, while the NBA passed on Lin.

A star is born? This is a Linderella story that's made intriguing stops along the way.

From Taiwan to Palo Alto to Harvard to summer leagues and developmental teams and aborted stays with Golden State and Houston.

Now to Broadway.

Linsanity.

林来疯、林不灭、林神奇… Lin氏英文风靡全球(图) 中国日报



〔本报讯〕「哈佛小子」林书豪一战成名,现在更因替尼克队拿下7连胜引爆热潮,美国媒体纷以「林来疯」(Linsanity)形容全美疯林书豪的现象,「林」(Lin)这个字更引起全美「造字运动」,像是有报纸在西洋情人节2月14日当天,头版刊出林书豪运球画面,再搭配斗大的「happy vaLINtine's day」(林氏情人节快乐),相当引人注目。

不仅如此,许多媒体、网友开始用林这个字大作文章,各式各样的「林」开头单字如雨后春笋般出现,除原本的「林来疯」外,还有「林神奇」(Lincredible)、「林不灭」(Lindestructible)、「林氏传奇」(Lingend),ESPN体育台甚至还表示未来的NBA殿堂中,林书豪将开始他的「林氏王朝」(Lin Dynasty)!

据了解,还有网路推出新服务,只要先输入Lin后,再加上其他想要的字,就会自动创造出「林氏字汇」,例如医疗用字,有CNN记者表示,林来疯的流行根本就像是「林流感」(Linfluenza)一样,四处传播;也有脱口秀主持人表示,林来疯的状况「林无法解释」(Lindecipherable),甚至表示自己得了「林失眠」(Linsomnia)。

有趣的是,林书豪自己也创了一个字──「林天堂」(Lintendo),幽默表示自己从小就打任天堂(Nintendo)长大。
