《牛津英語詞典》破例更新!收錄20個新冠肺炎相關詞匯，你熟悉幾個?今日我給大家

帶來20個新冠肺炎相關詞匯,盼望能夠關心到大家，下面我就和大家共享，來觀賞一下吧。

《牛津英語詞典》破例更新!收錄20個新冠肺炎相關詞匯，你熟悉幾個?

新冠肺炎，居家隔離， 方艙醫院，呼吸機，防護服...三個月前，絕大多數中國人對上

面這些詞匯都感覺很生疏，有些詞甚至是這次疫情中新制造出來的。

而現在，它們充斥在各大媒體的報道中和我們每個人的日常對話中。

當今世界上最全面和最權威的英語詞典——《牛津英語詞典》最近就因疫情進行了一

次破例更新。 收錄了一些在新冠肺炎疫情中消失頻率很高的英文單詞和詞組。

包括： Covid-19 infodemic R0 lf-isolation lf-quarantine social distancing

WFH PPE to flatten the curve social recession elbow bump

這里賣個關子，先不放單詞釋義。或許有同學知道全部這些單詞和詞組的意思嗎?那你

最近沒少看英文報道喔~釋義版見文末。

一、熱度上升最快的英文單詞

在過去的四個月中，有兩個英文單詞熱度躥升極快： coronavirus 冠狀病毒

COVID-19 新型冠狀病毒病

1

但你知道嗎?在2021年之前，coronavirus 這個單詞在醫學和科研領域以外還很罕見。

COVID-19 這個詞更是在今年2月份才被制造出來。

而現在，主流英語媒體在報道疫情的時候，都會使用 coronavirus 和 COVID-19 來

指代新冠病毒。

不過它們在各種媒體上，常會以不同的變型消失。

例如把coronavirus簡寫成 corona，COVID-19 簡寫成covid。 在社交媒體上，甚

至還有更短的簡寫，如 rone和 rona。

其中有兩個簡寫：nCoV 和 2021-nCoV 在2月份時，曾被媒體廣泛使用，但此后消

失的頻率就沒那么高了。

二、新冠疫情給語言帶來的影響

從2021年1月~3月，消失頻率最高的20個熱門詞匯中可以發覺，1月開頭，跟新

冠有關的詞匯的使用頻率開頭增加，但尚未在新聞中占據主導。

其他的時事詞匯如 bushfire(澳洲山火)、koala(考拉)、impeachment(彈劾特朗普)、

locust(蝗蟲)的熱度還是比較高的。

但到了3月份，最熱門的20個關鍵詞全部與新冠有關。值得留意的是，從1月到3

月，跟新冠有關的關鍵詞消失了一些變化。

1月份，新冠熱詞多與病毒的名稱和癥狀有關。 如：coronavirus(冠狀病毒) SARS(非

2

典) 病毒(virus) 人傳人(human-to-human) respiratory(呼吸道) flu-like(類似感冒)

而到了3月份，新冠熱詞開頭轉向病毒所帶來的社會影響和醫療問題。

如 ： social distancing(社交疏遠) lf-isolation、lf-quarantine(自我隔離) lock

down(封鎖) non-esntial(非必要，如非必要旅行) postpone(推遲) PPE(Personal

Protective Equipment，個人防護設備) ventilator(呼吸機)

《牛津英語詞典》在更新中說，許多在當前疫情危機中廣泛使用的單詞和詞組，并非

是全新制造，只是這些用法在今年以前比較少見。

例如，WFH(居家工作)這一縮寫用法是最早消失在1995年，但詞典的執行主編帕頓

指出，在今年以前，很少有人知道這個縮寫。

PPE(個人防護設備)的消失可以追溯到1977年，以前主要是醫療和急救專業人員使用。

social distancing 這個詞是1957年首次使用的。最初是指一種冷漠或有意與他人在

社交上保持距離的行為。但在疫情中，這個詞指的是;保持與他人的身體距離。

Reading stories in books is a basic way for children to obtain knowledge and

open their minds. Although watching TV and playing computer games are also

popular educational methods among children, reading bookstore, in my view, is

still better becau of effectiveness and health.

Compared to TV and games, learning by reading is more effective since it is a

synthetic skill. Like any other skills, reading takes practice. Children learn to read by

sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. Then, they begin

to comprehend the context, paragraph and chapter. To fully understand the

content, children have to give all their attention to the text. Also, more than just

understanding a certain topic, children tend to develop reasoning, imagination

and critical thinking during reading books, which will help them to learn more

efficiently and deeply in the future.

In addition, reading books is good to children’s eyesight. According to some

rearches, spending too much time before a computer screen or watching TV will

lead to shortsightedness. Therefore, reading is better for both efficiency and

health purpo.

Admittedly, the knowledge disminated by vivid pictures on screen is easier

for children to catch information, but too many moving objects and colorful

images will distract children, especially to some young kids, from their primary

tasks. Moreover, using TV and computers too long will lead to a dentary life that

is more harmful to one’s wrist and back.

In conclusion, reading stories in book is better than TV and computers for it is

a more effective way to learn and better for health.

雅思大作文模板：面試可不行靠?

Interview is the basic form of lecting procedure for most large companies.

Some people think it is unreliable. There are some other better methods. Do you

agree or disagree?

雅思大作文模板范文參考：

It has been a wide-spreading method for many large companies to lect

potential employees through interviews. Nevertheless, the reliability of this means

is among some people’s consideration and they suggest there exist other

superior ways in completing the process of lection.

From my point of view, interviews are a comparatively reliable means to lect

talents and should still be regarded as a main method for companies. First of all,

unlike some other lection methods, for instance, taking written exams,

interviews produces instant and mutual communication between interviewers and

interviewees which not only allows interviewers to know better about the

interviewees’ responding competence but also their true personal abilities since

the answers could not be prepared in advance and there are not the so-called

“standard answers”.

Additionally, interviews enable interviewers to meet interviewees in person. It

is quite important becau interviewers can u this opportunity to obrve

interviewees from a more comprehensive way including their appearance,

manners, etc, especially for some positions which need employers to communicate

with other people for instance teachers and tho who work in the PR ction.

Moreover, interviews make it possible for interviewers to ask further questions

which make the whole lection process more personal-oriented and flexible.

Undoubtedly, people may give various answers towards the same question, with

the means of interviews, interviewers can bring forward different further down

questions and dig in as much as they want so as to better test the interviewees’

problem-solving competence.

Bad on the veral aspects discusd above, the reliability of interviews is

comparatively high and should be carried on in the process of lecting

employees.
