最近这一段时间

“凡尔赛文学”

各大平台热搜都被刷屏了

朋友圈也掀起了一阵“凡学”

很多还没来得及冲浪的吃瓜群众

可能一脸懵,比较好奇

“凡尔赛文学”是个什么梗?



科普小环节

“凡尔赛”原本指的的是法国贵族的宫殿,现在“凡尔赛”的引申义则指一种自我感觉是“贵族”的精神


而这两天的凡尔赛已经演变成一种力低调实则炫耀的文风。

在英语里也有堪称“矫揉造作”的词:humblebrag,意为“以看似谦虚的方式自夸”。

这个词是由两个完全相反的单词构成的,humble(谦逊的,自谦的)和brag(吹牛,自夸),用来形容网络热梗“凡尔赛”简直是再适合不过了!



《韦氏词典》对humblebrag的定义

to make a seemingly modest, self-critical, or casual statement or reference that is meant to draw attention to one's admirable or impressive qualities or achievements
用一种表面上谦虚、自我批评或随意的声明,让他人注意到自己的一些令人钦佩和印象深刻的品质和成就。

下面带大家欣赏一些

“凡学家作品”

用调的话,炫调的耀

大家准备好了吗?请看——

// 雅思x凡尔赛

为什么有的人考的分比我低都能成功和雅思分手,6.5甚至6.0就能上岸,好羡慕他们啊5555。如果我也可以的话那岂不是用裸考成绩都能分手,唉,我还要继续考,7.5还是太低了

最近突发奇想要不要申请几个学校出国留个学玩玩,就随便投了几个,牛剑、LSE、UCL、哈佛、斯坦福、康奈尔…虽然哈佛和其他几所的offer都拿到了,但梦校剑桥还是差一点,心里还是不怎么舒服,毕竟梦校没能进,求安慰!
