牛津英语词典近日又收录了一波新词,2016年度英国最重大政治事件“英国脱欧”(Brexit)毫无悬念地位列其中。此外,来自社交媒体的新词“油管人”,和抢了婴儿潮一代风头的“时尚奶奶”,以及一些技术用语也被收录其中。
《牛津英语词典》是什么
《牛津英语词典》被称为英语世界的金科玉律,已有150年历史,目前收录有80度万个词条,会在每年的3月,6月,9月,12月修订更新一次词条,修订包括对原有的一些旧词条进行修改替换,也包括增加一些新词汇,通常会公布一些时髦的英语新词。牛津英语词典编写的全面性和详细性,与其说这是一部英文词典,还不如说是一部英语史巨著。
有哪些新鲜词汇增加
脱欧(Brexit)作为本年度英国热点事件,被加入到了新词之中,可能大家还不轻出这个词的由来,词当然不是平白无故造出来的,它来源于British exit or Britain exiting from the EU,是对英国退出欧盟的一种戏谑说法。Brexit一词也许只有在特里莎·梅眼里是“脱欧”的意思,对于许多人来说,该词的定义仍然模糊不清。
《牛津英语词典》帮助大家释义解惑,编辑们没有从脱欧产生的后果或最终的实现来下定义,而是对Brexit的过程进行定义,避开了该词背后的政治纷乱。
其定义如下:Brexit是指英国退出欧盟的行动(或计划),及其相关的政治进程。该词有时特指2016年6月23日的英国公投,当时大部分投票者都支持英国退出欧盟。
词典高级编辑菲奥纳?麦克弗森称:“许多词语由新词快速上升为一种定义,并被列入词典,而Brexit就是其中速度最快的之一”。
她补充说,这个词语“填补了我们语言中的一个空缺,恰当表述了它背后日益重要的政治现象。”
她还补充说:“Brexit几年前还是一个新词,而现在频繁地在各大外刊头版上使用,这表明它已经是全球通用,绝不仅限于本国。”
本月同样被收录的还有希腊退出欧盟,Grexit是指希腊退出欧盟的假设。预计其他欧洲国家脱欧公投意图的词也将被收纳,如Nexit(芬兰脱欧)、Frexit(法国脱欧)、Oexit(奥地利脱欧)。
此外,YouTubers(油管人)首次被纳入词典,指频繁使用视频分享网站YouTube(油管)的用户,特别是自己制作视频并且出镜的人们。
如今,任何在网络上挺身而出打抱不平的人都可以堂堂正正地自称为upstander(挺身而出者)—指通过言语或行动来支持某项事业的人,尤指敢于站出来,代表遭受攻击和欺凌的人的利益,为其打抱不平。
另一些新收录的词或短语来自于流行音乐,最出名的是“get your freak on”。它的定义为:美国俚语(主要用在非裔美国人中)1.参与性活动,尤指挑战传统、放纵不羁的性行为。2.跳舞,尤指无拘无束、动作狂野、热情洋溢的舞蹈。
该短语是梅西埃丽奥特的一首歌名,2001年开始流行了起来。
同样来源于流行音乐的还有Bama,该词的收录得力于歌手碧昂斯,最早是20世纪20年代对美国阿拉巴马州的缩写,而后演化成了一个俚语,指来自美国南部乡下的人。但碧昂斯在今年的最新专辑《Lemonade》里的单曲《Formation》中重新使用了这个词。
歌词中写到“我爸是阿拉巴马人/我妈是路易斯安纳人/ 他们生了我这个带着克里奥尔血统的黑人/ 让我成了住在德克萨斯的阿拉巴马人。”

抢了Baby Boomer(婴儿潮时代出生的人)风头的是glam-ma(时尚奶奶):指风韵犹存的高龄女性,尤指相对年轻、有时尚气息的老奶奶。
麦克弗森说,《牛津英语词典》会根据用法来收录词语。
她称:“一个词语一旦被收入字典,就不会被删除。当它成为常用词或专业词后,我们必须举出与之相关的例子。”
