Lesson 101

1. A buzzword is a word or phrase, such as text neck, that becomes very popular for a period of time.

Buzzword 是流行語或某個領域的行話，例如「簡訊頸」

2. Text neck is the neck pain and damage sustained from looking down at your cell phone or other wireless devices too frequently and for too long.

3. Sleeping in a weird position can give you pain, kinks, or stiffness in your upper back or arms.

4. When you sit down, you maybe sort of lean over your table or slump back in the chair.

坐著時你也許會在桌上托腮或猛然背躺椅

5. If you’re looking at this on a mobile device, you’re probably sitting like this: your arms are bumped by your sides, you’re a little hunched over, and your neck even has more of a bend in it.

如果你在看行動裝置，你大概會坐這樣：手臂碰兩側、有點駝背、甚至有點彎頸

6. This is probably causing some pain in your shoulders or between your shoulder blades.
