screen-rage
怒喷屏幕
Definition: to talk back, yell or curse at a digital screen。
概念:对着电子屏幕回骂、大喊或咒骂。
Example sentence: I got screen-rage when I read his text message。
例句:我看到他的短信后怒喷屏幕。
Who hasnt talked back to their computer or their smartphone? Screen-rage is something almost everyone has experienced。 Though rage-quit was recently added to OxfordDictionaries.com, screen-rages chances look less than stellar。 So far, theres only one example of the word in the Oxford English Corpus from 2006。
哪个没试过对着电脑和手机回骂呢?怒喷屏幕几乎是每一个人都做过的事。怒退不久前才被收入牛津在线词典,不过怒喷屏幕加入的可能好像并不大。自2006年到目前,这个词在牛津英语语料库里只出现过一次。
moblivious
盯着手机不留神
Definition: staring at your phone whilst walking or driving and oblivious of your surroundings。
概念:走路或开车时盯着手机,没注意周围的状况。
Example sentence: Staring intently at her phone, she was completely moblivious to what was going on。
例句:她专注地盯着手机,完全没注意正在发生啥事。
Moblivious is another term from the sphere of technology that quite a few people might be able to relate to。 While certainly a handy and TOPical word, its chances of getting included in the dictionary are slim。
Moblivious又是一个科技范围来的词,而且跟很多人都有联系。这个词确实很便捷实用,也非常贴近时下的生活,但它可没多少机会被收入到牛津词典中。
bourbon oclock
波旁点
Definition: an appropriate time of day for starting to drink bourbon。
概念:一天中开始喝波旁威士忌的适合时间
Example sentence: Bourbon oclock just got better。
例句:波旁点已经变得更好了。
This suggestion was clearly inspired by our recent addition of wine oclock and beer oclock to OxfordDictionaries.com。 Though bourbon may be the drink of choice for some people, the term bourbon oclock isnt anywhere close to the popularity of the other two, yet, and will not be added to the dictionary in the foreseeable future。
这个建议明显是遭到了红酒点和啤酒点的启发,它们近期被收入到牛津在线词典上了。虽然有的人喝酒时会选择波旁威士忌,但波旁点还远没另外两个点时尚,短期内它都不会被加入到牛津在线词典里了。
globalian
全球人
Definition: a member of the globe。
概念:是全球的一员
Example sentence: As a globalian, she felt it was her duty to stand up for other peoples human rights。
例句:身为一个全球人,她感觉自己有责任为别人的人权挺身而出。
The reason for this coinage was quite a noble one: If people start feeling proud to tell that they are globalian, territorial boundaries will fade away from their mind and inter-state conflict may reduce。 While certainly an admirable stance, the words chances of success do not look good。
这个词被造出来的原因十分崇高:假如大家开始自豪地称自己为全球人,领土的分界就会从他们的思想中褪去,国家之间的冲突就会降低。虽然态度可嘉,但这个词成功加入词典的几率不容乐观。
sarcaustic
又讽刺又刻薄
Definition: sarcastic and caustic。
概念:语带讽刺,尖酸刻薄。
Example sentence: I think theyre being sarcaustic。
例句:我感觉他们说话又讽刺又刻薄。
Portmanteaus are always popular among the word coiners that contact us。 This is one of them。 We could find two occurrences of the word in our corpus, but thats sadly not nearly enough to make it into the dictionary。
跟大家联系的造词者向来喜欢混成词,这个词就是其中之一。在大家的语料库中这个词出现了两次,不过非常可惜,这完全不足以令它加入到牛津字典中。
sadiculous
让人伤心但又非常搞笑
Definition: sad and ridiculous。
概念:让人伤心,又非常搞笑。
Example sentence: His comments were sadiculous。
例句:他的评论让人伤心,但又非常搞笑。
The reader who suggested this word was equally eager to make the English language more efficient by blending two words into one。 However, the same that was said about sarcaustic applies here as well。 This word is not yet widely enough used to be considered for inclusion。
跟大家建议这个词的读者同样非常想通过把两个词合成一个词来提升英语的效率。但,就跟sarcaustic的状况一样,这个词现的用法还不够广泛,大家不会考虑把它编入新词。
siriris
西丽丽西
Definition: another word for palindrome。
