“只讀型大腦”指那些拒絕接受別人勸告或想法的人(相當(dāng)于我們常說的“死腦筋”),也可以指四處發(fā)表見解卻不肯接受外界信息的人。、
This idea stems from the computer term ROM (commonly known as read-only memory), a storage media where data cannot be modified, at least not very quickly or easily.
“死腦筋”之所以叫“ROM brain”是因?yàn)镽OM在電腦術(shù)語中意為只讀,存儲(chǔ)在這一類別存儲(chǔ)媒介的數(shù)據(jù)一般是無法修改的,至少不能快速或輕易被修改。
For example:
He is not willing to take in any new ideas. A ROM brain indeed.
他不愿意接受任何新思想,是個(gè)地道的“死腦筋”。
