話在心頭口難開?糖果詞典來幫忙

 

"The DailyCandy Lexion"

Have you ever looked for a word to describe an everyday awkward, embarrassing or just plain funny situation when the dictionary won't do?

DailyCandy.com, a web site that provides daily e-mails about trends targeted to young urban women has launched a book full of words to describe everything from drunk instant messaging "drimming" to a group of undesirable sycophants or "nontourage".

The words in the book titled "The DailyCandy Lexicon: Words That Don't Exist but Should," were created and compiled by a team of the web site's editors -- a group of young, single or single-in-spirit women living in the city -- since 2001, when they realized the words they were making up might be of interest to others and began to publish them on online.

"The lexicon started because we all communicate by IM (instant messaging) and in communicating about say last night's make-out session at the bar, there's no word, so we found that Websters was limited," Brooke Siegel, the site's Miami editor and one of the book's main authors, said in an interview.

The word they came up with was "restaur-romp."

Siegel added that the need for slang lexicons arose because conventional language has not yet caught up with technology.

"In this day and age language is becoming more brief whether it's because more of us are communicating via IM or text message or e-mail," she said.

"So we end up with things like "OMG" and "LOL" that now my dad says ... We wanted the language to evolve with the trend."

你是否曾想找一個詞來描述日常生活中遇到的尷尬、難堪或搞笑的情形,但在字典中又找不到這樣的詞?

“每日糖果網(wǎng)”(DailyCandy.com)最近出版了一本匯集此類疑難雜詞的書,書中囊括了諸如“醉酒短信”(“drimming”)、“馬屁精”(“nontourage”)等各種五花八門的詞匯。該網(wǎng)站專門向都市年輕女性提供每日時尚資訊的電子郵件。

這本書叫做《每日糖果詞典:應(yīng)該存在卻不存在的詞》,由該網(wǎng)站的編輯團隊編撰。這本詞匯書的編撰工作從2001年開始,當時網(wǎng)站的一群單身或內(nèi)心孤獨的年輕女編輯意識到,她們自創(chuàng)的一些詞也許會讓其他人感興趣,所以開始將它們陸續(xù)發(fā)到網(wǎng)上。

該書的主要編寫者之一、來自邁阿密的布魯克?西格爾在采訪中說:“我們之所以有這樣的想法,是因為現(xiàn)在人們都使用即時信息(IM)溝通,比如你想表達昨晚和某人在酒吧調(diào)情,似乎就找不到一個合適的詞,所以看來韋氏詞典也不夠用。”

對于上述情形,該詞典提供的詞是“restaur-romp”。

西格爾說,之所以出現(xiàn)對這種俚語詞匯的需求,是因為傳統(tǒng)的語言沒能跟上科技的發(fā)展。

她說:“如今,由于人們越來越多地使用即時信息、短信和電子郵件等方式進行交流,語言也變得越來越簡略。”

“現(xiàn)在連我老爸都在說‘OMG(噢,我的天啊)’和‘LOL(狂笑)’……我們希望語言也能夠‘與時俱進’。”
