English term or phrase: Wonkster
[The World is Flat] is filled with the kind of close reporting and intimate yet accessible analysis that have been hard to come by. Add in Friedman's winning first-person interjections and masterful use of strategic wonksterisms, and this book should end up on the front seats of quite a few Lexuses and SUVs of all stripes.

Chinese translation:探幽阐微风格;学究风格
Explanation:
wonk=nerd, grind,有书呆子的意思,更是指一个人心无旁鹜,一心一意搞钻研,深入探索每一个细节,因而达到少有人能企及的高度,甚至深得有点神秘,特别是在当代用法里。wonkster是指具有此类风格的人,而wonksterism则是指此类深入探究的风格或做法。
