在过去一年时间里,全球爆发了多次气候变化抗议活动。柯林斯词典编纂者发现,与2018年相比,今年这个词的使用频率增加了100倍,于是climate strike当之无愧地当选2019年度词汇。
"Climate strike" was picked by Collins Dictionary after being used on average 100 times more this year than in 2018.
柯林斯词典将“climate strike(气候罢工)”选为2019年度词汇,今年该词的平均使用率是2018年的100倍。
The term was first recorded four years ago when pupils skipped school to protest over global warming - but the movement has grown over the last year.
这个说法最早出现在四年前,当时学生们罢课抗议全球变暖,但是去年,该运动影响范围进一步扩大。
Collins said it has also recognised the word "non-binary" as a specific term.
柯林斯词典表示,它还将“非二元性别”一词认定为特定的术语。
Lexicographers said it added non-binary in recognition of "changes in how people relate to each other and define themselves".
词典编纂者表示,增加“非二元性别”一词是为了承认“人们之间的关系以及定义自己的方式发生了变化”。
Non-binary people do not identify as either male or female and often prefer the pronouns they or them instead of he or she.
“非二元性别”的人既不认为自己是男性,也不认为自己是女性,他们通常更喜欢人称代词“他们”而不是“他”或“她”。
