很多人或许不知道，即使家里的电视、电脑和其他电器都关了机，只要电源还连着，就会持续产生待机能耗。

Did you know that if your TV, computer and other appliances are plugged in, they are quietly draining electricity - all day, every day - even when they are turned off? Electric power consumed by products when they are switched off or in a standby mode is known as standby power (sometimes called vampire power or phantom power).
待机能耗
待机能耗是指，电器关机或处于待机模式时所耗的电。
Standby power refers to the way electric power is consumed by electronic and electrical appliances while they are switched off or in standby mode.
待机能耗英文是standby power（待机能耗）。可以翻译成vampire power（电力吸血鬼）、phantom load（幻影负荷）或ghost load（幽灵负荷）。
vampire、phantom、ghost这些鬼怪词汇，表现出一种偷偷摸摸的、不知情的情况下持续耗损的情况，可以说十分形象。
▌什么情况下会产生待机能耗？
This only occurs because some devices claimed to be "switched off" on the electronic interface, but are in a different state from switching off at the plug, or disconnecting from the power point, which can solve the problem of standby power completely.
