英语流行词

　　本文“英语词汇之描述离开家乡的人们”由出国留学网英语考试网整理而出，希望能帮到您！

　　继 refugee 一词成为去年牛津辞典年度词汇候选词之一后，今年它又当选为牛津2016年儿童年度词汇(参考2016年年度儿童词汇为：refugee)。在2015 年，很多人开始更多关注 refugee 一词，因而出现使用高峰，这种情况很大程度上是因为不断增多的有关叙利亚人民为了逃避国家内战而逃往欧洲的新闻报道。通过在牛津新监控语料库中搜寻与之搭配的词汇，我们发现，Syrian(叙利亚的;叙利亚人)确实是最常搭配 refugee 一词，随后依次为 Palestinian / 巴勒斯坦的、Afghan / 阿富汗的、Somali / 索马里的，以及 Sudanese / 苏丹的。

　　Syrian 是与 refugee 一词搭配最多频次的词汇，每10亿词出现23626次

　　Refugees / 难民 和 migrants / 流动工人;移居者

　　由于叙利亚难民危机在2015年底占据新闻头条，英语世界的媒体也开始了一场有关 refugee 和 migrant 两个词汇意义的辩论。OxfordDictionaries.com 平台给出的定义分别为 refugee：a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster，而 migrant：a person who moves from one place to another in order to find work or better living conditions。

　　Refugee 定义的关键词是“forced”。难民并非自愿离开自己的国家，而是在自己的国家内面对直接的死亡威胁或迫害而“被迫”逃离。尽管这两个英文单词在很多媒体上交换使用，但在此做以明确区分是很重要的。一位 refugee 与 migrant 相比是享有一定国际法权利的，这给予了 refugee 一词一定的法律维度。事实上，根据牛津语料库，形容词 illegal (非法的)倒是常常与 migrant 搭配，搭配出现的频率高于任何其他形容词。

　　形容词 illegal 作为 migrant 一词的修饰语，其出现频率高于其他词汇，每10亿词出现2514次

　　即使如此，一些媒体仍旧坚持使用 migrants 作为统称性词汇，因为它也包括 refugees 这一类人群。例如，BBC(英国广播公司)开始在每条与难民主题相关的报道后添加如下声明：

　　“The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted r...

　　本文“英语流行词汇：懒惰的社会知识分子”由出国留学网英语考试网整理而出，希望能帮到您！

　　Slacktivist is a person that does simple things like change their avatar colour or post a status update about a cause instead of actively supporting the cause.

　　“懒惰的社会知识分子”指的是那些在网上换换头像颜色、或者对某个事件发布一条状态更新，而不是用积极行动去支持这件事的人。

　　例如：

　　I just turned my twitter avatar green to support Haiti, LOL.

　　我刚把推特上的头像换成绿色的，支持海地，哈哈。

　　OMG feel well sorry for the people in (major disaster/big news story), hope you get better soon xoxo

　　噢天哪，我对(大灾难/重要新闻中的)这些人们感到难过，希望你们赶快好起来，抱抱。

　　许多人觉得事情多，时间不够用，你遭遇了时间饥荒吗？本文“英语词汇认识：时间饥荒”由出国留学网英语考试网整理而出，希望能帮到您！

　　It’s a problem so common it may qualify as a new American epidemic: We’ve got no time. Too busy.

　　我们没时间了，太忙了。这个问题相当普遍，已经成为美国新的流行现象。

　　你知道什么是外出许可吗？本文“英语流行词汇之外出许可”由出国留学网英语考试网整理而出，希望能帮到您！

　　很多已婚人士说，结婚以后少了很多自由，要去哪里都要向另一半汇报，人家不同意还不能去。估计这是一个世界性的问题吧。国外很早就有专门形容这种情况的词，叫kitchen pass(厨房通行证)。别想错了，不是说家里进厨房还要通行证，而是你想出去的话，得先得到在厨房忙活的那个人的同意才行。

　　Kitchen pass refers to permission from one's spouse to attend an event or go on an outing.

　　Kitchen pass指夫妻中的一方对另一方出席活动或者出游的许可。

　　The Kitchen Pass name came from the idea that each member of the all-male club needed permission from his wife to go race-car driving, off-road motorcycling, fishing and a rodeo, as well as diving.

　　Kitchen pass这个名字的最初由来是因为全男性俱乐部的成员们在出去参加赛车、摩托车越野、钓鱼、斗牛以及跳水等活动前先要得到他们妻子的允许。

　　For example:

　　I plan to go on a fishing trip with some of my friends next week, but I have to get the kitchen pass from my wife.

　　我打算下周跟我一些朋友去钓鱼，但我必须先得到我太太的允许。
