yellular 喊叫模式

Yellular is the loudness one adopts in response to a bad cell-phone connection, in the misguided hope that talking louder will improve the connection.

Yellular指手机信号不好的时候提高音量讲话的状态，好像那样大声讲话手机信号就能变好一样。我们可以称为“喊叫模式”。

 

这个yellular其实就是yell（喊叫）和cellular的合成词，我们的手机正式叫法是cellular phone（蜂窝电话），简称cell phone。

 

Sometimes, some people just cannot help yelling¹ whenever they are on the phone, it seems that their voice is not transmitted through phone signal but via a speaker.

有时候，有些人只要一打电话就会开启大嗓门模式，就好像他们并不是靠手机信号来传输自己的声音，而是在通过大喇叭传话一样。
