你有“資訊癖”嗎？

我們不愿錯(cuò)過(guò)所能接受到的任何信息，因而會(huì)忍不住整日查看手機(jī)和電腦。我們害怕被發(fā)現(xiàn)“這個(gè)東西我沒(méi)看過(guò)/沒(méi)聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)/沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)”。這就是信息時(shí)代的“資訊癖”。

Infomania is the debilitating state of information overload, caused by the combination of a backlog of information to process, and continuous interruptions from technologies like phones, instant messaging, and e-mail.

“資訊癖”指的是信息超載的超負(fù)荷狀態(tài)，是由于需要處理大量的多種信息導(dǎo)致的，并受到手機(jī)、即時(shí)通訊及電郵等信息科技的不斷打擾。

It is also understood as distraction caused by the urge to check e-mail, text messaging and other sources of information, which causes the person to show symptoms to neglect other, often more important things—duties, family, etc.

總想著去查郵件，發(fā)短信，以及處理其他資訊來(lái)源，這會(huì)讓人注意力分散，導(dǎo)致人們忽視其他通常更重要的事情，比如責(zé)任，家庭等等。

For instance, a typical symptom of infomania is that of checking e-mail frequently during vacation.

例如，資訊癖的一個(gè)典型特征是在假期不停地查收郵件。
