从欧洲难民危机、英国脱欧公投到美国总统大选，今年全球政治议题均与仇外情绪密不可分，有见及此，字典网站Dictionary.com日前便宣布将“xenophobia”(仇外)选为年度词汇。 There were a lot of surprises to come out of 2016, but “xenophobia” being named Dictionary.com’s Word of the Year is not one of them. 2016年意外连连，但“仇外情绪”被评为Dictionary.com年度词汇却在预料之中。 When you consider the rhetoric that galvanized people in this year’s Brexit vote and the US presidential race, the proof that “xenophobia” is the word that most represents the zeitgeist of 2016 is, well, in the pudding. 今年英国脱欧公投和美国总统大选中，政客们用花言巧语鼓动选民，事实于是摆在眼前，“仇外情绪”成为最能代表2016年时代精神的词汇。 |
