在托福考试中，词汇量的多少对于英语考试的听力、写作、阅读等每个环节都有影响，因此今天小编为各位托福考生介绍一下post-modern depression这个词。

　　据说，现在大家出门旅行找住处的时候打听的第一件事儿是“有没有WIFI?”拿着手机却上不了网，这已经是很多人都无法忍受的事情。

　　Postmodem depression is the unpleasant feeling you get when you haven't had access to the Internet (i.e. QQ, Weibo and WeChat) for a "long" time, like several minutes. You don't have appetite, not in the mood to enjoy beautiful scenery or talk to people, the only thing you care about is where you can find a WIFI hotspot.

　　Postmodem depression(断网抑郁症)指无法连接到网络(也就是不能刷微博、微信和QQ)很“长”时间时的郁闷心情，这里所谓的很“长”时间，其实可能也就几分钟而已。就因为这样，你没有胃口吃东西，无心欣赏美景，也不愿跟人说话，一心只想找个能帮你上网的WIFI热点。

　　比如，一家人出去度假：

　　Mom: Johnny, come to dinner!

　　妈妈：强子，吃饭了！

　　Johnny: Not hungry!

　　强子：不饿!

　　Mom (to dad): What the hell is wrong with him?

　　妈妈对爸爸说：这孩子咋啦?

　　Dad: He's got postmodem depression; he can't update his WeChat Moments.

　　爸爸：没有网，郁闷了，刷不了朋友圈。

　　Mom: But we have only been here for 15 minutes.

　　妈妈：可是我们刚到这儿15分钟而已啊……
