没有敲锣打鼓的大肆宣扬，这个称呼就这么(默默地)新增了：牛津英语词典会考虑增添到下一版的官方版本和数据库当中。

Assistant editor of the dictionary, Johnathan Dent, was quoted by the Sunday Times as saying the move towards Mx was a sign of the English language's ability to adapt to an ever-changing society.He explained it was the first time in recent history that commonly used and accepted titles had changed.

牛津词典的助理编辑乔纳森·丹特在《星期日泰晤士报》中说道，Mx这一称呼的新增是英语适应瞬息万变社会的标志。他解释道，这是近些年来，第一次普遍性的使用和承认这一改变的称呼。

Mr Dent was quoted as saying it showed the way English could adapt to people's needs, rather than letting language dictate identity.

丹特先生也说道，这显现了英语可以适应人们的需求，而不是让语言禁锢了身份。

 

 

The Department for Work and Pensions, HM Revenue and Customs, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency and the NHS are among those public bodies now accepting the Mx title.

工作及养恤金部、英国皇家税收与关税局、英国机动车执照局还有英国国家医疗服务体系都位列承认Mx这一称呼的公共机构之中。
