    词汇新条目之16 - [Urbandic words]

    1. manikin:人体模型--array of medical manikins                                                                   
    2. yelp:Yelp, a user-generated database of customer reviews of local businesses, first launched in October 2004. Users rate and leave reviews for local businesses, participate in forums, and can generally get social around local businesses. Rumors circulated that they were paying people to leave reviews on the site.
    3. market assistant:市场助理 Yelp claimed that they were only “marketing assistants” employed by the company to “get the ball rolling” (使蓬勃发展，开始) in new cities, and the reviews themselves were honest.
    4. Then the competition started dropping like flies. 怎么会这么说呢，想不通

    5. The good news for Yelp is that when businesses are afraid of you, it’s only because they realize how much power you really have. See, for example, Paypal and Ebay, two of the most reviled (被辱骂的) and profitable businesses on the Internet.But when can you truly say that a company has “made it?”--It’s when people start hating you, of course.

    6. first-gen:第一代 We’re one week away from the debut of the 3G iPhone, and the question on everyone’s mind seems to be, “What’s going to happen to the six million first-gen iPhones that are on the fast track to obsolescence?”
    7. faux:假的，伪的 Phone booth with saloon doors (酒吧门)                                            
    8. 注册的一套英语：First off, if you love Baseball, skip this post for a minute and go claim one of the 1,000 beta accounts we have for Baseball Boss - click “register” on the top left and use the code “techcrunch” to get in. Then come back here and see why you’ll be glad you did.
    9. groudn to a halt:减速后停止 Duels(决斗) is an asynchronous(不同步的) gaming platform that lets users build fantasy characters and fight duels against other users. Users loved it so much that the platform ground to a halt within hours, and the company spent weeks adding servers and trying to keep up with growth.
    10. exceeding:这个词，今天放在这里，可能有点小儿科。但是，我却不知道它准确的涵义。大意是非常的，过度的，当过度的讲的时候，和extream是同义词。所以，做家教的你，如果被问及extreamly的同义词，也是可以说是exceedingly的。
