牛津英语词典又录新词 “关注”、“粉丝”等入选
<p>《牛津英语辞典》最近公布了新近收录和修订的1200多个词条，“关注（<span word="follow">follow</span>）”、“粉丝（<span word="follower">follower</span>）”、“快闪族（<span word="flash">flash</span> <span word="mob">mob</span>）”，以及美剧《生活大爆炸》中常用到的“极客范儿（<span word="geekery">geekery</span>）”等词均被收录其中。牛津英语词典网站每三个月会发布一批新近收录的词条，此次收录的“发推、推文（<span word="tweet">tweet</span>）”等这些跟社交媒体相关的词汇在过去六年间已成为人们日常用语的一部分。词典主编约翰•辛普森表示，此次收录的词条至少打破了《牛津英语辞典》的一项传统惯例，以往来说，词条要使用十年以上才会被收录，但现在“这个传统似乎也跟着时代在改变”。</p><p>同时被收录的新词条还包括：“老爸舞姿（<span word="dad">dad</span> <span word="dancing">dancing</span>）”、“快闪族（<span word="flash">flash</span> <span word="mob">mob</span>）”、“众包（<span word="crowdsourcing">crowdsourcing</span>）”等。其中，“老爸舞姿”来自于英国，原指新郎或新娘的父亲在婚礼上有点老土的舞姿，后来被英国人用来形容让人看了不舒服的，笨拙的舞步。</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="terms">terms</span> “<span word="tweet">tweet</span>”, “<span word="dad">dad</span> <span word="dancing">dancing</span>” <span word="and">and</span> “<span word="geekery">geekery</span>” <span word="are">are</span> <span word="among">among</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="than">than</span> 1,200 <span word="new">new</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="revised">revised</span> <span word="words">words</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="made">made</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="into">into</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="latest">latest</span> <span word="version">version</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Oxford">Oxford</span> <span word="English">English</span> <span word="Dictionary">Dictionary</span> (<span word="OED">OED</span>).</p><p><span word="In">In</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="quarterly">quarterly</span> <span word="update">update</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="its">its</span> <span word="website">website</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="dictionary">dictionary</span> <span word="said">said</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="expanded">expanded</span> <span word="its">its</span> <span word="entries">entries</span> <span word="for">for</span> "<span word="follow">follow</span>" (<span word="verb">verb</span>), "<span word="follower">follower</span>" (<span word="noun">noun</span>), <span word="and">and</span> "<span word="tweet">tweet</span>" (<span word="noun">noun</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="verb">verb</span>) <span word="to">to</span> <span word="include">include</span> <span word="social">social</span> <span word="media">media</span> <span word="terms">terms</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="become">become</span> <span word="part">part</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="everyday">everyday</span> <span word="lexicon">lexicon</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="past">past</span> <span word="six">six</span> <span word="years">years</span>.</p>
