There was an even larger spike days later, when President Obama delivered a speech stating that language used by Donald Trump, current President-elect, was not an example of populism, but rather “nativism or xenophobia.”
而后其热度一路上涨,同时奥巴马总统发表讲话声明,刚当选的总统唐纳德•特朗普所说的话并非民粹主义,而是“本土主义或仇外情绪”。
“Xenophobia and other words tied to global news and political rhetoric reflected the worldwide interest in the unfortunate rise of fear of otherness in 2016, making it the clear choice for Word of the Year,” said Liz McMillan, CEO of Dictionary.com, in a statement.
Dictionary.com总裁利兹•麦克米伦在声明中说:“不幸的是,2016年,人们越发恐惧差异性,‘仇外情绪’和其他与国际资讯及政治辞令有关的词汇恰巧反映了全世界人民对该问题的兴趣,‘仇外情绪’是当之无愧的‘年度词汇’。”
“While we can never know the exact reasons why xenophobia trended in our lookups this year, this reflects a desire in our users to understand the significant discourse surrounding global events.”
“为何‘仇外情绪’登上我们今年的搜索热榜,我们无从得知,而这反映出用户渴望理解全球事件中的重要话语。”
Dictionary.com’s selection of “xenophobia” is far from the only indicator of our tumultuous year. Oxford Dictionaries’ Word of the Year was “post-truth,” a term that means “objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.”
