Noun
[edit]電蛐蛐
- (Mandarin, regional, colloquial, humorous) pager; beeper (device)
- 如今的舊友中，把褲腰帶上別一電蛐蛐，整天東奔西走，蒙吃蒙喝，招搖過市的淺陋之徒越來越多了，而如祥明這麼赤誠執著的人，卻已是鳳毛麟角，也許正由於此，我反而格外地敬重這位城市裡的莊戶人，我覺得修祥明永遠是富有的，這除了他的鄉土經歷、他的朋友之外，還因為他擁有文學。 [MSC, trad.]

[Pinyin]
- Among my old friends now, there are more and more of these shallow people who have beepers clipped onto their belts, running about all day, cheating their way, and act ostentatiously in public, yet people who are as sincere and persistent as Xiangming are very rare. Perhaps exactly because of this, I actually particularly respect this farmer in the city. I think that Xiu Xiangming is forever rich; other than his experiences in his hometown and his friends, it is also because he has literature.
如今的旧友中，把裤腰带上别一电蛐蛐，整天东奔西走，蒙吃蒙喝，招摇过市的浅陋之徒越来越多了，而如祥明这么赤诚执著的人，却已是凤毛麟角，也许正由于此，我反而格外地敬重这位城市里的庄户人，我觉得修祥明永远是富有的，这除了他的乡土经历、他的朋友之外，还因为他拥有文学。 [MSC, simp.]- 校長威嚴地宣佈：「有誰帶了BP機，馬上交出來！」就像是搜查毒品和槍支彈藥。大家呆住了，沒有電蛐蛐的抬起頭，臉上露出得意的微笑。帶了電蛐蛐的不由自主地低下頭，目光四處躲閃，像一群剛剛出洞的小老鼠。 [MSC, trad.]

[Pinyin]
- The principal solemnly announced, "Whoever brought a pager must hand it over immediately!" It was just like a search for drugs, firearms and ammunition. Everyone was stunned. Those who did not have a beeper lifted up their heads, smiling smugly. Those who brought a beeper couldn't help but lower their heads, and their evasive eyes looked all over the place, like a mischief of little mice that have just come out of a hole.
