多少新聞，多少網頁，多少博客，多少廣告都想讓網民們在不斷拿鼠標點擊，饑渴的尋找下一秒新鮮話題和新聞的過程中，能夠暫停動作，關注到他們。如果它們做到了，那么它們就成為了thumbstopper—“劃屏終結者”。

Thumbstopper refers to an eye-catching or compelling item that makes a person stop scrolling through a list of posts, particularly when using the thumb to scroll a touchscreen device.

“劃屏終結者”指的就是一個引人注目的產品或新聞，讓人們在不斷點擊新鮮話題的過程中停下腳步關注到，特別是在他們在用手指劃屏下拉時。

A lots of news have become the thumbstopper, from Malaysia Airlines plane crash a while ago to the official investigation recently, or the box office star the Tiny Times 3 and the celebrities taking drugs. There are some traits shared by those thumbstoppers, for instance, little presence, little contact with grass roots, as well as cross-field.

從前段時間的馬航失事到如今的官員審查，從票房驚人的《小時代3》到明星吸毒事件。“劃屏終結者”都有一些共同的特點，比如從未出現，草根接觸少，而且不分領域.

Example:

I heard some breaking news from my informant. It would definitely become a thumbstopper tomorrow once I post it.

我從線人那里得到了一個驚天大新聞，明天我發布后肯定能成為“劃屏終結者”。
