牛津词典2012年度词汇：美国GIF 英国“一团糟”
释道：“GIF已经从当初的流行文化基因的媒介，发展成如今重要的应用工具，广泛应用于研究和新闻业等领域。它的作用转变有目共睹，所以它的词汇地位也应该紧随发生变化。”[/cn] [en]GIF is, in fact, an abbreviation of three separate words: Graphics Interchange Format. It was first released by CompuServe in 1987 but has experienced a dramatic cultural [w]resurgence[/w] in recent years, most commonly used to make humorous commentary on topics ranging from sports to the 2012 presidential election.[/en][cn]GIF实际上是三个独立单词的缩写：图形变换格式。首次出现在1987年，由美国最大的在线信息服务机构美联网发布，不过近些年又出现了强势的文化复苏，最常用来发表幽默评论，涉及到的话题非常广泛，从运动到2012美国总统大选等。[/cn] [en]The runner-up for the word of the year was also an abbreviation, "YOLO," which stands for "You only live once."[/en][cn]《美国牛津词典》2012年度词汇榜单上的第二名也是一个缩写词：YOLO，意为：“生命只有一次。” [/cn] [en]"Superstorm" was another runner-up for word of the year, after the major storm that affected the Eastern U.S. during the first week of November.[/en][cn]今年候选名单上还有“Superstorm”（超级风暴），这个单词上榜是由于11月第一周大面积影响美国东部地区的桑迪飓风带来的暴风雨。[/cn] [en]The British Oxford Dictionaries went a different route, choosing "omnishambles," as their word of the year, which is defined as "a situation that has been comprehensively mismanaged, characterized by a string of blunders and miscalculations."[/en][cn]《英国牛津词典》则走的是不同路线，选择的2012英国年度词为“omnishambles” （一团糟），用来描述 “由于管理及其不善，造成一连串差错和误算的混乱局面”。 [/cn] [en]Needless to say, having all three words shows how neologisms are having a growing influence in the cultural landscape.[/en][cn]毫无疑问，这三个单词都代表着当下新词构词法对文化格局的日益加深的影响。[/cn] [en]Still, some older words have found new linguistic relevance. "Pleb," taken from the Roman word "plebs," has found a modern context in its [w]derogatory[/w] usage to describe "a member of the ordinary people or working classes."[/en][cn]另外还有一些老旧词汇也被赋予了新的语言涵义。源自罗马词汇“plebs” （平民）的“Pleb” 在新的语境中，用于描述“普通民众或是工人阶级”，含有贬义。[/cn] [en]Interestingly, the word-of the-year distinction does not guarantee that the chosen words will actually be included in future editions of the Oxford English Dictionary.[/en][cn]不过有趣的是，尽管这些单词现在当选了年度词汇，也无法保证未来它们会真正被收录进新版的《牛津英语词典》。[/cn] 声明：本双语文章的中文翻译系沪江英语原创内容，转载请注明出处。中文翻译仅代表译者个人观点，仅供参考。如有不妥之处，欢迎指正。
