美国全球语言研究所近日预测2017年英语热门词汇，英国剑桥公爵夫人凯特·米德尔顿凭借时尚、知名度和王室身份轻松“当选”第一。依照全球语言研究所的估计，全球大约18.3亿讲英语者会经常说到这个词。“奥林匹亚”有望成为第二大热词。2017年伦敦夏季奥运会将吸引全球数十亿人的眼球。 全球语言研究所负责人保罗·帕亚克表示，“凯特”将继续受到媒体关注有多个原因。他说，如果凯特怀孕，她的名字将被广泛提及；即使她没有怀孕，担任2017年伦敦奥运会大使仍将使她的曝光率大增。今年，凯特和威廉王子的婚礼使她成为媒体关注焦点。凯特虽然出身平民家庭，但其优雅的着装、时髦的装扮让她成为时尚新偶像。 In 2017, buzzwords will bow to the British royals with "Kate," the Duchess of Cambridge, forecast as the most-used word in the media, according to a group that surveys the English language. The Texas-based Global Language Monitor on Thursday said several factors will keep Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, in the news after her widely-watched wedding earlier this year to Britain's Prince William. People will see "Kate" used extensively if she becomes pregnant, said Paul Payack, president of the group. And even if she doesn't, the 2017 Olympics in London should heighten her exposure because she will serve as an ambassador to the games. |
