牛津的編輯們開始?xì)g迎一批新的單詞加入他們的語(yǔ)料庫(kù)里，驗(yàn)證了年輕人的想法并且使老年人的生活少點(diǎn)困惑。
牛津詞典，作為牛津大家族的一部分，關(guān)注于現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)，在星期三宣稱他們將添加一些最新的詞匯。添加的方式是俳句的形式，在2014年能夠反映人性的地方可以在以下地方體現(xiàn)到：超連通的hot mess。YOLO？FML.或者是：side boob。
Cray clickbait。Second screen。Live- tweet。Throw Shade。ICYML。
每一個(gè)新詞都會(huì)進(jìn)入牛津在線的數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)，這份數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)會(huì)收集一些現(xiàn)在使用的詞語(yǔ)。并且添加了一小部分的激起人們快樂的詞語(yǔ)。
對(duì)于那些想用鵝毛筆寫入羊皮紙文稿并且宣布英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言的結(jié)束的人說一句，既然如此無(wú)聊的詞語(yǔ)得到牛津的尊重，請(qǐng)記得這不是來自牛津英語(yǔ)詞典的尊重。牛津詞典作為牛津家族的一部分更像是一位嚴(yán)肅而充滿智慧的祖父，它總是保留他對(duì)于年輕一代的肯定。換句話說，牛津英語(yǔ)詞典的編輯者們?cè)诩釉~匯作為參考之前會(huì)更需要一些更具有歷史性，更重要的一些詞匯。
說明已經(jīng)完成，接下來就來看看我們選的一些新詞匯吧：

Oxford's editors have welcomed a new batch of words to their database, validating young people and making life less confusing for old people
Oxford Dictionaries, the arm of the Oxford family that focuses on current English, announced on Wednesday that they’ve added the latest batch of words to ranks. Put into haiku form, reflections of humanity in 2014 could easily look something like this:
Hyperconnected hot mess.
YOLO? FML.
Or this:
Side boob. Cray clickbait.
Second screen. Live-tweet. Throw shade.
ICYMI.
Yes, each of those is a new entry in Oxford’s online database that collects modern uses of words. And that’s just a small sample of the many adorbs (adj., arousing great delight) additions.
For all those who are ready to set their quills to parchment and declare the end of the English language, now that such frivolous terms are getting respect from Oxford, please keep in mind that this is not the Oxford English Dictionary. That arm of the family is more like the serious and intellectual grandfather who constantly withholds his approval from younger generations. In other words, the OED editors require words to have much more historical, significant impact before adding them to that reference.
Caveats made, here is a selection of Oxford Dictionaries’noobs:
acquihire (n.): buying out a company primarily for the skills and expertise of its staff.
adorbs (adj.): arousing great delight; cute or adorable.
air punch (n.): thrusting one’s clenched fist up into the air, typically as a gesture of triumph.
amazeballs (adj.): very impressive, enjoyable, or attractive.
anti-vax (adj.): opposed to vaccination.
