Brexit may mean Brexit to Theresa May, but the Oxford English Dictionary has come to the aid of those who wish for a less opaque definition. The word is among 1,500 new words added to the dictionary this week. Brexit一词也许只有在特里莎·梅眼里是“脱欧”的意思,对于许多人来说,该词的定义仍然模糊不清。近日《牛津英语词典》帮助大家释义解惑。本周,包括Brexit在内,《牛津英语词典》共收录了1500个新词。 Fiona McPherson, senior editor on the OED said:" the word had been one of the fastest to move from coinage to definition and listing". 词典高级编辑菲奥纳•麦克弗森称:“许多词语由新词快速上升为一种定义,并被列入词典,而Brexit就是其中速度最快的之一”。 |
