　　我们都知道“智能手机”的英文名叫做smart phone：字面意思“聪明的手机”，那么它的反义词是啥呢？诶，应该是“傻瓜手机”吧？idiot phone？
　　其实smart phone的反义词是：Feature phone，字面意思“功能手机”，乍一看是不是觉得feature phone就是那种很多功能的手机？那不应该也是蛮“智能”的嘛？ 请看wikipedia上的解释：
　　Feature phone is a term used to describe a low-end mobile phone that has less computing ability than a smartphone。
　　feature phone指的是那种计算能力比不上smart phone的低端手机。
　　The term was originally used to describe mobile phones that had features that weren't available on most other contemporary mobile phones, and smartphone and feature phone were not mutually exclusive categories. As mobile phone technology advanced, newer low-end phones were categorized as feature phones。
　　这个词一开始指的是具有其他手机不具备的功能的新型手机，不过，时代变了，现如今被智能手机抛在身后的普通手机，也被归入feature phone的行列。
　　三十年河东三十年河西啊~feature phone表示，你才低端，你全家都低端……记住啦，下次听到feature phone这个说法，别以为真的很高级哟，尽管，人家曾经，也是，很高级的……
