“微波爐思維”新詞介紹
Microwave ovens have been heating leftovers and popping popcorn for a generation, a daily bit of wizardry that makes waiting for anything seem obsolete. And the microwave mentality has spread far beyond the kitchen.一直以來，微波爐都幫我們加熱剩飯菜、做爆米花，這個能讓日常生活變簡單的神奇功能同時也讓人們耐心漸失。這種“微波爐思維”也沖出廚房，影響到我們生活的各方面。
People want their popcorn in 3-1/2 minutes, dinner ready in 4 minutes, fast food, buy it now and we will pay for it later. Give me the big house on the lake, the gas guzzling hummer and put it all on credit. People with the microwave mentality tend to have the attitude that if something can't be done in 5 minutes or less, it's not worth doing.人們希望爆米花能在3分半鐘之內(nèi)做好，晚餐能在4分鐘內(nèi)上桌，點(diǎn)的快餐能先送貨后付錢。湖邊的大房子和悍馬車貸款就能馬上到手。有“微波爐思維”的人們都覺得如果某件事不能在5分鐘之內(nèi)搞定，那么這件事就不值得動手去做。
