Today, Oxford Dictionaries announces post-truth as its 2024 international Word of the Year. The Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a word or expression chosen to reflect the passing year in language. Every year, the Oxford Dictionaries team reviews candidates for word of the year and then debates their merits, choosing one that captures the ethos, mood, or preoccupations of that particular year.
今天,《牛津词典》宣布将“后真相”作为2024世界年度词汇。“牛津词典年度词汇”是一个精选出来的单词或短语,它能以语言形式反映该年特点。《牛津词典》团队每年都会对候选的年度词汇进行评议,然后就词汇价值展开激烈辩论,最后挑选出一个词,这个词要能反映特定年份的社会思潮、情绪或重点关切。
Language research conducted by Oxford Dictionaries editors reveals that use of the word post-truth has increased by approximately 2,000% over its usage in 2024.
《牛津词典》编辑们的语言研究结果表明:相比2024年,“后真相”这个词的使用率上升了约2000%。
The concept of post-truth has been in existence for the past decade, but Oxford Dictionaries has seen a spike in frequency this year in the context of the EU referendum in the United Kingdom and the presidential election in the United States. It has also become associated with a particular noun, in the phrase ‘post-truth politics’.
“后真相”这一概念在过去十年中就已存在,但是《牛津词典》发现今年其使用频率飙升,而这种现象之后的背景是英国脱欧公投和美国总统大选。还出现了一个与之相关的特定名词短语——“后真相政治”。
‘It’s not surprising that our choice reflects a year dominated by highly-charged political and social discourse,’ says Casper Grathwohl, President of Oxford Dictionaries. ‘Fuelled by the rise of social media as a news source and a growing distrust of facts offered up by the establishment, post-truth as a concept has been finding its linguistic footing for some time.’
《牛津词典》负责人卡斯帕•格拉沃斯说:“果不其然,我们选出的词反映了今年充斥着高度紧张的政治和社会论争。随着社交媒体崛起成为大众消息来源,而传统媒体发布的事实受到越来越多的质疑,后真相这一概念已找到其语言学根基,而且这种现象已经持续一段时间了。”
