“麦难民”是新出现的一个词，指在麦当劳24小时店里过夜的人。

The term was first created in Japanese language, which originally means"net cafe refugee", people sleep in 24-hour Internet cafes or manga cafes. InJapan, most McDonald's restaurants are operated around the clock. Due tounemployment and high rents and transportation costs, McRefugees are forced tostay at a McDonald's overnight.

这个说法最早源于日本，最初指在24小时网吧或者漫画咖啡店过夜的人。在日本，多数麦当劳都是通宵营业的。由于失业高房租以及交通支出等因素，不少人都选择在麦当劳过夜。于是就有了McRefugee(麦难民)这个说法。

The phenomenon and word spread to Hong Kong, where some McRefugees playvideo games and are known as McGamers.

后来，这个现象和说法又传到了香港，不少人在麦当劳里过夜打游戏，于是又被称为“麦游戏族”
