拿手機當道具的“演戲式通話”

有沒有遇到過這樣的人：拿著手機在地鐵里打電話，聲音還特別大，搞得旁邊的人想不聽都不行。現在才知道，這樣的人全世界都有，而且他們有名字的哦，叫做stage-phoner。

A person who engages in stage-phoning is someone who talks loudly on their mobile in a deliberate attempt to attract the interest and attention of people around them. Such individuals appear to be behaving as if they were giving a performance, with the mobile as a theatrical prop, hence the use of the word stage.

Stage-phoning（演戲式通話）指一個人用手機打電話很大聲，故意想要吸引旁邊人的關注。這些人打電話時候的行為就好像在表演一樣，把手機當作道具，所以才會用stage這個詞來表示。

The derived noun stage-phoner has been coined to describe these types, who in American English are sometimes also referred to by the rather derogatory term cell (phone) jerk. We meet stage-phoners at every street corner, waiting room or café.

由此衍生的stage-phoner就指進行演戲式通話的人，在美式英語中還有一個更具貶義的詞cell (phone) jerk（手機傻冒）來形容這些人。在街角、等候室或者咖啡館都會有他們的身影。
