Culture 韦氏词典评选“文化”为年度热词

The next two words on the list, nostalgia and insidious, saw huge increases in use this year, primarily because of their entertainment connection. Nostalgia was used in discussions about the television series Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire, and other cultural milestones like the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America. "We saw more than a 100% increase in lookups of nostalgia this year," says Kory Stamper, an Associate Editor at Merriam-Webster. "It was certainly used in reference to pop culture and television, but it was also used as a way to frame larger political discussions. We spotted examples of nostalgia used in connection with the annexation of Crimea and the defeat of Eric Cantor. People often think of nostalgia as a return to 'good old days,' so these uses that go beyond the personal may have surprised some readers and sent them to the dictionary."

榜单上排名二三的单词，“怀旧”（nostalgia）和“阴险的”（insidious），在今年也大幅上升，主要是因为他们的娱乐联系。“怀旧”被用于美剧《广告狂人》和《大西洋帝国》，还有其他像“披头士乐队赴美50周年纪念”这样文化里程碑的讨论。“我们发现今年‘怀旧’的查询翻了一倍，”《韦氏词典》的副主编科里·斯坦普儿说道，”它很显然被用在关于流行文化和电视剧中，但是也会取景更大范围内的政治讨论。我们发现了‘怀旧’用于兼并克里米亚和艾瑞克·康托尔在茶党初选中失败。人们常常将’怀旧‘看作是‘昔日美好’的回归，所以这些非个人行的用法也许会让一些读者感到震惊，然后他们会再去查查字典。”
