Airplane mode (or flight mode) means someone cutsthemselves off from the world by not logging on to socialnetworking sites or checking their cell phones. This usuallyoccurs after a breakup or a rough work week.
“飞行模式”指不上社交网站,也不开手机,完全与外界切断联系的状态。这种情况通常在遭遇分手或者经过一周艰苦工作后出现。
This usage is derived from the cell phone setting of the same name which suspends many of thedevice's signal transmitting functions – thereby disabling the device's capacity to place or receivecalls or text messages.
这种用法来源于手机设置中的“飞行模式”,手机处于这种模式时,电话和短信等需要信号传输的功能都不能使用。
For example:
Dan won't answer your calls. He's in airplane mode.
丹不会接你电话的。他现在处于“飞行模式”。
