Rainbow Ceiling 彩虹屋顶
Meaning: Rainbow ceiling, or pink ceiling, refers to business practices and prejudices that create an unseen and unofficial barrier to personal advancement for gay employees.
彩虹屋顶,也称粉色屋顶,指同性恋员工在职场个人晋升过程中遇到的由职场惯例或歧视导致的无形的障碍。然而天下gay们并非一般“黑”,比如苹果CEO库克,他是“基”界让gay们羡慕嫉妒恨的幸运儿。同样是出柜,但是他在职场上并没有遇到歧视和区别对待。
Women have complained for years about the glass ceiling in the workplace. But gay and lesbian workers have to clear the rainbow ceiling as well.
这些年来,女性一直抱怨职场遭遇玻璃屋顶,但是,同性恋员工在职场也得清除彩虹屋顶的障碍。
Gaydar 同性恋感应雷达
Meaning: Gaydar refers to the intuitive ability of a person to assess others sexual orientations as gay and ensures they pay more attention to detail, allowing them to pluck potential partners out of a crowd.
同性恋感应雷达,是同性恋者们的第六感,是一种能感知对方是否是同性恋的直觉,会让他们更多地注重细节,能够让他们在人群中找出潜在的发展对象。小编有点惊呆,感觉三观又要被刷新了。原来gay们搜索猎物不是用看的,而是用感应的!果然是物以类聚,gay以群分。
Scientists say women really do have “gaydar”, which helps them spot whether a man is straight or gay just by looking at his face.
科学家声称,女性真的与生俱来便有“同志雷达”的潜力,这有助于她们通过观看一个男人的脸,就知道这个男人是“直”还是“弯”。
Lavender Language 同性恋语言
Meaning: Lavender language functions as a kind of homosexual code, characterised by acronyms, plays on words and double meanings only intended to be understood by the gay community.
当你看到lavender时只想到薰衣草那你就错了。在“基”次元里,lavender language相当于一种同性恋密码,以使用缩略字、文字游戏以及雙关语为特点,主要服务于同性恋人群内的沟通交流,所以称为“同性恋语言”。
淡紫色(lavender)通常都被认作“同性恋友好”类环境的标志,因此,与lavender相关的专用术语多与同性恋有关。这种用法出现在各种与同性恋有关的主题中,比如lavender texts(同性恋文本)、lavender phonology(同性恋语音体系),以及lavender lexicon(同性恋词汇表)等。
We need to develop a research agenda for lavender language inquiry to empower scholars to speak more directly to LGBTQ issues under the new administration.
我们需要通过发展关于同性恋语言调查的研究日程来赋予学者们更多的权利,让他们在新一届政府下更直接地探讨LGBTQ的问题。
Pink Tourism 粉色旅游
Meaning: Pink tourism, also known as gay tourism or LGBT tourism, is a form of niche tourism marketed to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.
粉色旅游,也叫同性恋旅游或LGBT旅游,是针对同性恋、双性恋以及变性人群(统称“同志”)开拓的小众旅游市场。粉色旅游业的主要组成部分为:希望吸引同志游客的城市和国家、希望到对同志人群友好的目的地旅游的游客、不计较目的地只希望与其他同志人群一同出游的人,以及关注文化和安全因素的同志游客。Gay们手牵手,来一场说走就走的pink tourism吧!
Pink tourism is expected to continue to grow as a result of the ongoing acceptance of LGBT people and changing attitudes towards sexual and gender minorities.
随着社会对同志人群的接纳程度越来越高,人们对这些人群的态度也在发生转变,粉色旅游将有望进一步发展。
