托福詞匯之“網絡漫畫webcomics”

　　Webtoons, also known as webcomics, are Internet-based comic strips available through cellphones. The genre is a growing cultural force in South Korea, supported by an ultrafast Internet and smartphone-crazy populace, and fueled by a small army of young, creative, tech-savvy graphic artists.

　　網絡漫畫(webtoon或者webcomics)指在互聯(lián)網上發(fā)表、能夠通過手機閱讀的漫畫作品。這類作品正在韓國形成一股逐漸崛起的文化力量，有超快速的網絡和智能手機癡迷族做后盾，再有一小群年輕、有創(chuàng)意、懂技術的插畫作家搞創(chuàng)作。

　　Most webtoon serials are published on major Internet portals free of charge and once or twice a week. They cover a wide range of genres, as diverse as romantic comedies and horror.

　　大部分網絡漫畫系列都在大型門戶網站免費發(fā)布，每周更新一到兩次，涵蓋的題材也很廣泛，浪漫喜劇和恐怖故事等，都涵蓋其中。

　　Their popularity has drawn the attention of the wider entertainment industry, and top-rated webtoons have been successfully adapted into TV dramas, films, online games - even musicals.
