新增词汇中也有一些已经使用一段时间的商业和体育词汇,比如“onboarding”(指新人入职后经历的适应新环境的过程)和“bunny”(某项体育运动的爱好者)。现在又有了“蜂巢思维(Hive Mind)”,原本用于生物界,用来形容蜜蜂和蚂蚁的聚居地,如今再添新意:指网民等人群的集体思想、观念和意见被视为一个单一思想共同发挥作用。
Let's get to a spicy conclusion with "sriracha," which is defined as "a pungent sauce that is made from hot peppers pureed with usually garlic, sugar, salt, and vinegar and that is typically used as a condiment."
让我们以“是拉差辣椒酱”来做个麻辣小结。“是拉差辣椒酱”指的是“一种用辣椒制成的辣酱,通常会拌上蒜末、糖、盐和醋,用来调味。”
此次韦氏词典还新增了“韩式石锅拌饭”(bibimbap)、“冻酸奶”(froyo)等在美国流行的饮食词汇。
韦氏词典副主编艾米丽-布鲁斯特说:
“Our job as lexicographers is to follow the development of language, defining the words people are likely to encounter. These new words have been added to the dictionary because they have established themselves in the English language, and are part of the current, active vocabulary of America.”
“作为词典编纂者,我们的任务是紧跟语言发展,定义人们很可能遇到的词汇。”这些新词已经确定了自己在英语中的地位,成为美国当下活跃词汇的一部分,因此被添加进来。”
