2014年度十大英语新词 2014年，我们又学到了好多新出现的英语词汇，世界杯上演咬人帽子戏法和佩西式，源自国外的冰桶挑战一度风靡；朋友圈营销让人又爱又恨，社交网站晒图炫富又是拉仇恨；大老虎的白手套引发无数好奇心，威廉姆斯自杀致微笑抑郁受关注。我们在生活中学习，又在学习中了解生活。 1. Ice Bucket Challenge 冰桶挑战 The so-called ice-bucket challenge—dump ice water on yourself, post and tag yourself on social media and challenge others to do the same—got its start among golfers as a way to support pet charities. In just a few weeks, it has become a major fundraising coup for patients and organizations with ALS, a neurodegenerative disorder. It is commonly called Lou Gehrig's disease, after the baseball player who had it. 这个叫做“冰桶挑战”的活动要求参与人将一桶冰水浇在自己身上，然后将整个过程发布在社交网站上，并提名其他人来接受挑战，这个活动最初是高尔夫球员为支持宠物慈善发起的。在短短几周内，冰桶挑战成为为肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症（ASL）患者和相关公益组织筹集善款的重要活动。肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症通常被称为葛雷克氏症，是以曾经患有此症的一位棒球运动员的名字命名的。 2. Hands-chopping people 剁手族 The world's biggest online shopping day on Nov 11 has ended with record sales of 57.1 billion yuan ($9.34 billion) for China's Alibaba. Taobao said that the number of the so-called "hands-chopping people", has reached 1.08 million out of its 500 million registered customers. 全世界最盛大的网络购物节日“双十一”以阿里巴巴571亿元的创纪录销售额画上句号。淘宝方面表示，在其5亿注册用户中，可以称为“剁手族”的已达108万。 "Hands-chopping people" are big online spenders who self-mockingly say that they would like to chop their hands off after buying too much online. “剁手族”其实就是网络购物大户，他们自嘲地表示，因为在网上买了太多东西，他们恨不得将自己的手剁下来。 3. Dobe 逗比 Dobe is the Japanese slang word for “idiot”. Chinese youngsters use it to refer to a ridiculous person who is a stranger, or a funny one who is a friend. “逗比”是日语里用来形容笨蛋的俚语。中国的年轻人用它来形容那些荒唐的陌生人或好笑的朋友。 We can comprehend this composite word as a funny 2B. Simply put, it means someone is funny, a little silly and cute. With its widespread use, more and more people consider it a neutral word. If we use it to describe a stranger, we are more talking of a stupid stranger. If it alludes to a friend, then it is used to mock and make fun of the friend. 根据合成词原则可以理解为：挺逗的二比。简单的说，就是说某个人很逗，有点犯二犯傻，有点可爱。随着它的使用范围逐步扩大，越来越多人将它用作中性词。如果对陌生人说，指别人是傻叉的意思多一点。如果是好朋友之间说，那就是调侃和玩笑的意思多一点！ 4. Easy like 点赞狂人 An easy like gives up their “likes” almost indiscriminately. Typically they will “like” almost any post you make, regardless of how mundane or unlikeworthy it actually was. 一般来说，点赞狂人点赞无国界，他们对每一个东西都点赞，不管他们是否无聊或值得点赞。 He “likes” your coffee, your phiz, even your book. It seems that “like” has become another way of expressing emotions whether happy, sad, boring or astonishing. 一杯咖啡你点赞，一个表情你点赞，一本书你也点赞……无论快乐、悲伤、无聊或惊奇，点赞已经成为他们表达情感的另一种方式。 5. Jet setting lifestyle 土豪生活 Jet setting lifestyle refers to a lavish lifestyle the rich leads. 土豪生活就是富人所拥有的一种奢侈的生活方式。 Pixie the "Instagram Princess" has hundreds of photographs showing off her lavish lifestyle. In one she sits dressed in shades and a sun hat, perched posing by an empty pool at a luxury villa sipping at a non-alcoholic cocktail with the air of a millionaire lady. 那位照片分享上的小公主有百十来张炫耀她奢侈生活方式的照片。在一张图片里她身穿小裙子，头戴太阳帽，摆好姿势坐在豪华别墅的游泳池的阴凉处，啜着一杯无酒精鸡尾酒，活脱脱一个百万名媛。 6. Friendvertising 朋友圈营销 Friendvertising is the use of social media website „friends‟ to disseminate video adverts for products. Some videos have an apparently good message that people want to share and others are heart-warming or funny, but all are covert brand endorsements. “朋友圈营销”是借助社交网站上的“好友”来散播产品的视频广告。有些视频中包含一些人们想分享的正面信息，还有的视频或温情或搞笑，但所有这些视频都是暗中为某个品牌代言。 7. Fried chicken and beer 炸鸡和啤酒 Thanks to a South Korean drama currently on air, Man From the Stars, this new mix-and-match junk food trend has become popular among young audiences, despite its unhealthy nature.因为正在热播的韩剧《来自星星的你》的关系，这一垃圾食品的全新混搭组合尽管有害健康，但还是受到年轻观众的追捧。 Indeed, South Korean TV dramas, or K-drama for short, have been a major force in the South Korean pop-culture wave that has captured the hearts of young Chinese audiences. 的确，韩国电视剧（简称：韩剧），已成为推动韩国流行文化潮流的主力军，成功虏获了中国年轻观众的心。 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/0e2071d61a37f111f1855bbe.html
