Once upon a time, the favorite word was “brainstorming,” which meant coming together in a positive way to create a storm of great ideas or solve a problem. Now the word is “blamestorming,” a negative word, which means everyone is blaming everyone else for something that goes wrong. In China, blamestorming takes place on the Internet when netizens post a series of accusations following an accident before all the evidence is in.
“Brainstorming”（頭腦風(fēng)暴）以前很受寵愛，意思是說大家坐在一起，積極想辦法解決問題，一群人可以想出一籮筐的主意。如今，這個詞演變成了“blamestorming”（批評風(fēng)暴），有貶義色彩，意思是說每個人都怪別人把事情搞砸了。在中國，有時事故發(fā)生后，證據(jù)還沒全部浮出水面，網(wǎng)民們就開始在網(wǎng)上攻訐他人，這就是blamestorming。
