Today, Oxford Dictionaries announces post-truth as its 2016 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，《牛津詞典》宣佈將“後真相”作爲2016世界年度詞彙。“牛津詞典年度詞彙”是一個精選出來的單詞或短語，它能以語言形式反映該年特點。《牛津詞典》團隊每年都會對候選的年度詞彙進行評議，然後就詞彙價值展開激烈辯論，最後挑選出一個詞，這個詞要能反映特定年份的社會思潮、情緒或重點關切。
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 2015.
《牛津詞典》編輯們的語言研究結果表明：相比2015年，“後真相”這個詞的使用率上升了約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’.
“後真相”這一概念在過去十年中就已存在，但是《牛津詞典》發現今年其使用頻率飆升，而這種現象之後的背景是英國脫歐公投和美國總統大選。還出現了一個與之相關的特定名詞短語——“後真相政治”。
‘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.’
《牛津詞典》負責人卡斯帕•格拉沃斯說：“果不其然，我們選出的詞反映了今年充斥着高度緊張的政治和社會論爭。隨着社交媒體崛起成爲大衆消息來源，而傳統媒體發佈的事實受到越來越多的質疑，後真相這一概念已找到其語言學根基，而且這種現象已經持續一段時間了。”
