Merriam-Webster has picked a small but powerful suffix as word of the year: ism.
韦氏词典选取了短小却富有影响力的单词后缀“-主义”作为2015年年度词汇。
But not just any ism. The top isms to earn high traffic spikes and big bumps in lookups on the dictionary company's website in 2015 over the year before are socialism, fascism, racism, feminism, communism, capitalism and terrorism.
但不是任何主义都能当选。据韦氏公司的统计,在过去的一年中,韦氏大词典官方网站查询功能耗费流量最多的“主义”有社会主义,法西斯主义,种族主义,女权主义,共产主义,资本主义以及恐怖主义。
"We had a lot on our minds this year," mused Peter Sokolowski, the Springfield, Massachusetts-based company's editor at large, in a recent interview. "It's a serious year. These are words of ideas and practices. We're educating ourselves."
“今年,我们经历了很多,”马萨诸塞州斯普林菲尔德(Springfield)韦氏公司的编辑彼得·索科洛夫斯基在近期的采访中沉思道。“这是沉重的一年。这些词语背后都涵盖着相关理念和实践。我们在选词的过程中也训诫了自身。”
Pinpointing reasons why words go on the run at Merriam-Webster is an educated guess. The dictionary company tracks corresponding news events to link lookups to real life. And its researchers also crunch data in a way that filters out common words frequently looked up year after year after year when making their top annual choices.
