牛津字典公布2018年度词汇!真的是很“有毒”
[en]The Oxford English Dictionary's word of the year is “toxic”. So that's depressing. But it's understandable as we seem to be living in toxic times. But just why did the Oxford English Dictionary choose “toxic” as 2018’s word of the year?[/en][cn]《牛津英语词典》今年的年度词汇是“toxic”(有毒的),这很令人沮丧。但这也可以理解,因为我们似乎生活在有毒的年代。只是为什么《牛津英语词典》会选择“toxic”作为2018年的年度词汇呢?[/cn] [en]According to OED's blog post: The Oxford Word of the Year is a word or expression that is judged to reflect the ethos, mood, or [w]preoccupations[/w] of the passing year, and have lasting potential as a term of cultural significance.[/en][cn]《牛津英语词典》在博客中指出:牛津年度词汇是能够反映过去一年里人们的道德观、情绪或关注点的词汇或表达,而且它可能会有持久的文化意义。[/cn] [en]In 2018, toxic added many strings to its poisoned bow becoming an [w]intoxicating[/w] descriptor for the year's most talked about topics. It is the sheer scope of its application, as found by our research, that made toxic the stand-out choice for the Word of the Year title.[/en][cn]2018年“toxic”在“有毒的”这个词条的基础上增加了许多词目而成为描述今年最牛津英语热门话题的一个迷人的符号。我们的研究发现,这绝对属于它的应用范围,也使它在今年的年度词汇角逐中脱颖而出。[/cn] [en]Our data shows that, along with a 45% rise in the number of times it has been looked up on , over the last year the word toxic has been used in an array of contexts, both in its literal and more metaphorical senses.[/en][cn]我们的数据显示,在过去的一年里,通过牛津词典网站搜索“toxic”这个词的次数增长了45%,而且这个词的字面含义以及其隐喻含义都被应用在各种背景中。[/cn] [en]But while “toxic” may be a bit of a downer for word of the year, at least the runner-ups didn’t take the crown. Some of those runner-ups included:Gaslighting, Incel, Techlash, Overtourism.[/en][cn]虽然“toxic”成为年度词汇也许让人有些悲哀,但至少年度词汇的第二名并没有超过它。排在其之后的热门词汇有:Gaslighting(煤气灯光)、Incel(非自愿独身者)、Techlash(对大型科技巨头公司的批评与抵制)、OverTourism(过度旅游)。[/cn] (翻译:Dlacus)

经典英语演讲:王力宏在牛津大学介绍华流音乐
音乐。 See, I am actually an ambassador of Chinese pop, whether I like it or not, both music and movies. And today I’m here to give you the state of union address. It’s not the Oxford Union. It’s the union of east and west. I wanna frankly, openly and honestly talk about how we’ve done a good job or how we’ve done a bad job of bringing Chinese pop to the west. And I also want to press upon all of you here today the importance of that soft culture, that soft power exchange and how each of us is involved in that exchange. 其实无论我喜不喜欢,我都被认为在代表者华流音乐以及电影。那么今天,我就要来做一次“国情咨文”报告了。但是,这个“国”不是牛津,而是东西方的一个联合体。我想跟你们聊一聊,我们在将华语音乐引入西方社会方面所做的事情,无论是成就,还是不足。我都会坦诚布公。同时,我也想借此机会给你们留下这样一个印记:软实力交流的重要性以及它同我们每个人的相关程度。
