《牛津詞典》年度熱詞流出 "笑哭"惹人注目
閱讀提示:中文在上,對照英文在下.
《牛津英語詞典》年度詞彙新鮮出爐，萬萬沒想到，“笑cry”這個表情居然擊敗衆多單詞，躍居榜首。
For the first time ever, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a pictograph whichofficially called the ‘Face with Tears of Joy’ emoji.
Emojis符號早在上世紀90年代就出現了，只是到2015年才火起來而已。
Emojis have been around since the late 1990s, but 2015 saw their use, and use of the wordemoji, increase hugely.
今年牛津大學出版社與移動技術領導者SwiftKey公司聯合對最受歡迎emoji表情發起調查，結果顯示“笑cry”引領全球風尚，成爲使用率最高的表情,在英國和美國的使用率分別達到15%和17%。而在去年，這個表情在英國和美國的使用率只佔4%。emoji一詞也是如此，儘管1997年就有這個詞了，但是直到今年才真正火了一把！
This year Oxford University Press have partnered with leading mobile technology businessSwiftKeyto explore frequency and usage statistics for some of the most popular emoji across the world, and "Face with Tears of Joy" emoji was chosen because it was the most used emoji globally in 2015. The emoji accounts for 20% of all the emojis used in the UK in 2015, and 17% of those in the US: a sharp rise from 4% and 9% respectively in 2014. The word emoji has seen a similar surge: although it has been found in English since 1997, usage more than tripled in 2015 over the previous year according to data from the Oxford Dictionaries Corpus.
