讀者詢問小編，「阿宅」、「宅宅」、「宅男」、「宅女」......用英文形容一個人「很宅」要怎麼說？
Interestingly enough, there is only one word (宅) in Chinese to describe this culture, while in English there are generally three: nerd, geek and dork. There are subtle differences in the meaning of each—a dork isn’t necessarily a nerd, and a nerd isn’t necessarily a geek, in other words.
相當有趣的是，中文形容這種文化只用了一個字，而英文通常要用三個字：
nerd（呆子）、geek（怪人）、dork（笨蛋）。每個字的意義都有細微的差別──換句話說，dork 不見得是 nerd，nerd 不見得是 geek。
