OED Senior Editor Fi Mooring said: “These words reflect personal experiences but many of them also resonate much more widely, even with people who are not parents.
牛津词典的资深编辑Fi Mooring说:“这些新词都反映了个人经历,但是他们的使用人群却很广泛,甚至那些不是为人父母的人都在用。”
“The distinctive lexicon of parenting maps a whole range of human experience, from immense joy to immeasurable sorrow and, considering its relevance to so much of the population it seemed an underrepresented category of vocabulary in the Dictionary.”
“这些养育儿女才会理解的独特词汇,勾画出整个的人生经历,从喜极到悲恸,使用范围之广,开辟了词典分类的一个新的领域。”
