中國網(wǎng)站品牌欄目（頻道）
在網(wǎng)絡(luò)不普及的時(shí)候，人們會(huì)嘗試交筆友，通過書信與一個(gè)未曾謀面的人建立友誼。現(xiàn)在，只要在社交網(wǎng)站上活躍一些，你就可以交到不少網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的朋友。
E-cquaintance refers to a person known to another through online communication only (as via email, instant messenger or social networking website). The term is a blend of electronic and acquaintance, just like e-mail and e-commerce, where acquaintance means someone who you have met and know slightly, but not well.
E-cquaintance指僅通過電子郵件、即時(shí)通訊工具或社交網(wǎng)站等網(wǎng)絡(luò)環(huán)境互相認(rèn)識(shí)的熟人，即“網(wǎng)絡(luò)熟人”。這個(gè)說法是electronic（電子的）和acquaintance（熟人）兩個(gè)詞的合成形式，與電子郵件（e-mail）和電子商務(wù)(e-commerce)等詞的構(gòu)成方式一樣，acquaintance一詞指互相認(rèn)識(shí)但不是太了解的人。
For example:
I have quite a few e-cquaintances on Weibo, but I have never met them in real life.
我在微博上有好幾個(gè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)熟人，不過我從來沒跟他們見過面。
