知识背景
Phubbing是一个混合词，由澳大利亚麦肯和Macquarie大辞典联手精心杜撰而来。Phubbling的“Ph”来自于“Phone”(手机)，而“ubbing”来自于“snubbing”（“冷落”的动名词形式），Phubbing中文译为低头族，泛指那些只顾低头专注于移动终端（手机），而无暇顾及（冷落）其他人或事物的一群人或一种社会现象。
CET翻译
低头族（Phubbing）这个由“电话”（phone）和“冷落”（snabbing）杜撰而来的新词，用来描述了21世纪一种独特的社会现象，即人们只顾低头看手机而冷落面前的朋友或家人。无论何时何地，这些人都低头看着屏幕，用手机、平板电脑或笔记本电脑上网、玩游戏、看视频，想把碎片化的时间填满。
从社会环境角度看，快节奏生活、大城市通勤路线变长等因素，客观上令私人时间碎片化，属于自己的“整块”时间越来越少，导致不少年轻人只能抓紧碎片时间，通过数字终端进行娱乐休闲。以智能手机为代表的数字终端提供了丰富的应用程序，带来生活的便利和多样的娱乐手段。近些年随着我国城市化进程加快，我们正在走入一个陌生人的社会，人和人的面对面交流减少，社交网络的普及，也是“低头族”出现的重要原因。
