SPRINGFIELD, MASS., December 15, 2017—Merriam-Webster Inc., America's leading dictionary publisher, has announced its top ten Words of the Year for 2017. This year's list was compiled by analyzing the top lookups in the online dictionary at Merriam-Webster.com and focusing on the words that showed the greatest increase in lookups this year as compared to last year. The results, based on approximately 100 million lookups a month, shed light on topics and ideas that sparked the nation's interest in 2017.
出版大名鼎鼎的《韦氏词典》的美国梅里厄姆-韦伯斯特公司(Merriam-Webster Inc.)于12月15日公布了2017年度十大词语。今年榜单的编辑是在分析了Merriam-Webster.com在线词典上查询最多的基础上,并聚焦于同去年相比查询上升最快的词语得出。这份结果,基于一个月里大约1亿次的查询,清楚地显示出2017年全民感兴趣的话题和观点。
The Word of the Year, with the greatest number of lookups and a significant increase over last year, is culture. Culture is not associated with any one event, but instead dominated the headlines this year, on topics ranging from "celebrity culture" to "rape culture" to "company culture." In years past, lookups for the word culture spiked in the fall, as students encountered the word in titles and descriptions of courses and books, but this year lookups have moved from seasonal to persistent, as culture has become a term frequently used in discussions of social phenomena.
