题外话:用电脑发 email 或用手机发短信也能影响环保?据 BBC 表示:「… 一项研究估计,10 年前,平均每名澳大利亚互联网用户向大气排放了相当于 81 公斤(179 磅)的二氧化碳。」 8billiontrees 表示:「… 据估计,一条 140 字节的短信至少排放 0.00215 克二氧化碳。」所以,使用缩写不但节省时间,同时也是环保的呢!

英语缩写/网络用语通常用于非正式 email、短信或社交平台,常用到的数字有 1,2,3,4 和 8。除了数字本身的数量意思,「2」可代替「to」或「too」,「4」可代替「for」及或用于发音有「for」的单字,「8」可用于发音有「eight」的单字,「3」可用于表示同一字重复 3 次;「911」可以代表「alert」(警报/警戒)。
另通常使用小写表示是一个单字,比如「4ever」代表「forever」;大写则表示几个不同单字的第一个字母,比如「4EAE」代表「for ever and ever」。不过我觉得没有一定非得如此,非正式使用嘛。下面我们来介绍一下(很多你可能没有听过的)缩写和网络用语。
