近日,几大英语权威词典及其出版机构陆续公布了其年度词,为我们勾勒出了2025年科技演进与社会心理的时代切面,也为理解当下行业趋势提供了颇具洞察力的语言样本。
让我们一起来看看吧!
基于三万余名用户参与的投票结果并结合专家意见,《牛津词典》最终将rage bait确定为2025年度词,其释义为:Online content deliberately designed to elicit anger or outrage by being frustrating, provocative, or offensive, typically posted in order to increase traffic to or engagement with a particular web page or social media content.
(一种通过令人沮丧、挑衅或冒犯的内容来故意引发愤怒或愤慨的在线内容,通常发布目的是提高特定网页或社交媒体内容的流量或互动量。)
从字面上来看,rage bait可直译为“让人愤怒的诱饵”;但根据释义,中文语境下,“引战内容”也是对该词很好的解读。
今年11月初就早早揭晓结果的《柯林斯词典》将vibe coding定为2025年度词,其释义为:The use of artificial intelligence prompted by natural language to assist with the writing of computer code.(用自然语言,让人工智能辅助编写计算机代码。)
这个词由前OpenAI联合创始工程师安德烈·卡帕斯(Andrej Karpathy)于今年2月首次提出,用于描述AI如何实现创造性输出。
开发者只需要告诉AI自己想要一个什么功能或应用,AI就能自动生成,实现“凭感觉,写代码”的效果。
《剑桥词典》公布的2025年度词为parasocial,其释义为:Involving or relating to a connection that someone feels between themselves and a famous person they do not know, a character in a book, film, TV series, etc, or an artificial intelligence. (与自己不认识的人物建立起一种联系和互动,对象可以是不认识的名人、书或影视作品中的角色,甚至是人工智能。)
parasocial直译为“准社交(关系)”。
在中文语境中,也可以将“准”翻译为“单向”,更符合该词的含义。
除此之外,还有以下候选词:
biohack(生物黑客)
