英國柯林斯詞典（Collins Dictionary）公布年度十大詞匯，英國脫歐（Brexit）登上冠軍?！犊铝炙褂⒄Z詞典》出版商表示，自從2013年“脫歐”一詞被首次提出后，到今年6月公投臨近，“脫歐”的使用率超過了3400%，如此高頻的出現度前所未有。

It is a world where the most intimate feelings and desires can be portrayed with a single emoticon.
當今世界，即使是最私密的情感和渴望，人們都可以用一個簡單的表情符號來傳達。

And it seems the fleeting nature of social media and texting is having an impact on the English language as the words we most frequently use are getting shorter.
社交媒體及短信的迅捷性已對英語產生了影響，比方說，我們最常用的詞語正在變得越來越短。

Helen Newstead, the head of language content at Collins, said its 2016 "words of the year" list has been strongly influenced by the younger generation and not only includes current words like Brexit but also short phrases from social media and a four-letter acronym; Jomo.
柯林斯的語境部負責人海倫?紐斯戴德聲稱，2016年柯林斯“年度詞匯”榜單深受年輕一代的影響，它不僅包括像“英國退歐”這種最新詞匯，也囊括來自社交媒體的短語，甚至還有一個四個字母的縮略語——JOMO（享受自己的樂趣）。

Jomo stands for the joy of missing out and is used when one decides to pass up on a party invitation without any fear of missing the event.
JOMO即錯過的樂趣。比如說，當你拒絕參加一個聚會，卻不擔心錯過聚會的樂趣時，就可以使用這個詞。

It is thought to be the first time an acronym has been included on the Collins list, which has been issued since 2012 and celebrates terms that have enjoyed a significant rise in usage.
JOMO的上榜被認為是縮略詞被首次納入2012年始發的柯林斯榜單，這是詞語用法的一次重大突破。

The term joins “throw shade”, a verb which describes when someone publicly shows contempt, and mic drop, the act of pretending to drop a microphone after speaking.
“Throw shade”指某人公開表示自己的蔑視；而“丟麥克風”則用于指演講后假裝丟掉麥克風的動作。

The latter, which experts said was being used around 14 times more than last year, has been made particularly popular on Twitter and Facebook with celebrities, politicians and members of the Royal family, including Prince Harry and Barack Obama, miming the gesture in viral videos and GIFs.
據專家統計，“丟麥克風”的使用次數與去年相比增加了14倍。該詞在推特和臉書上格外受到名人、政治家和皇室成員的歡迎，其中包括哈里王子及貝拉克?奧巴馬等人。該動作在病毒視頻（受到爆炸式增長關注的視頻）及GIF動畫里被不停模仿。

Other popular terms identified by Collins include dude food, junk food considered particularly appealing to men, sharenting, the habitual use of social media to share images or news about children, and uberisation, a business model where services are offered directly to a customer, for example via a mobile phone.
同樣上榜的其他熱詞包括：“純爺們美食”，指格外吸引男性食客的簡單味美的快餐；“曬娃成癖”，指在社交媒體上分享孩子的照片和新鮮事的習慣；“優步化”指將服務直接提供給顧客（譬如通過手機）的商業模式。
