《牛津英语词典》破例更新!收录20个新冠肺炎相关词汇，你熟悉几个?

新冠肺炎，居家隔离， 方舱医院，呼吸机，防护服...三个月前，绝大多数中国人对上

面这些词汇都感觉很生疏，有些词甚至是这次疫情中新制造出来的。

而现在，它们充斥在各大媒体的报道中和我们每个人的日常对话中。

当今世界上最全面和最权威的英语词典——《牛津英语词典》最近就因疫情进行了一

次破例更新。 收录了一些在新冠肺炎疫情中消失频率很高的英文单词和词组。

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

WFH PPE to flatten the curve social recession elbow bump

这里卖个关子，先不放单词释义。或许有同学知道全部这些单词和词组的意思吗?那你

最近没少看英文报道喔~释义版见文末。

一、热度上升最快的英文单词

在过去的四个月中，有两个英文单词热度蹿升极快： coronavirus 冠状病毒

COVID-19 新型冠状病毒病

1

但你知道吗?在2021年之前，coronavirus 这个单词在医学和科研领域以外还很罕见。

COVID-19 这个词更是在今年2月份才被制造出来。

而现在，主流英语媒体在报道疫情的时候，都会使用 coronavirus 和 COVID-19 来

指代新冠病毒。

不过它们在各种媒体上，常会以不同的变型消失。

例如把coronavirus简写成 corona，COVID-19 简写成covid。 在社交媒体上，甚

至还有更短的简写，如 rone和 rona。

其中有两个简写：nCoV 和 2021-nCoV 在2月份时，曾被媒体广泛使用，但此后消

失的频率就没那么高了。

二、新冠疫情给语言带来的影响

从2021年1月~3月，消失频率最高的20个热门词汇中可以发觉，1月开头，跟新

冠有关的词汇的使用频率开头增加，但尚未在新闻中占据主导。

其他的时事词汇如 bushfire(澳洲山火)、koala(考拉)、impeachment(弹劾特朗普)、

locust(蝗虫)的热度还是比较高的。

但到了3月份，最热门的20个关键词全部与新冠有关。值得留意的是，从1月到3

月，跟新冠有关的关键词消失了一些变化。

1月份，新冠热词多与病毒的名称和症状有关。 如：coronavirus(冠状病毒) SARS(非

2

典) 病毒(virus) 人传人(human-to-human) respiratory(呼吸道) flu-like(类似感冒)

而到了3月份，新冠热词开头转向病毒所带来的社会影响和医疗问题。

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

down(封锁) non-esntial(非必要，如非必要旅行) postpone(推迟) PPE(Personal

Protective Equipment，个人防护设备) ventilator(呼吸机)

《牛津英语词典》在更新中说，许多在当前疫情危机中广泛使用的单词和词组，并非

是全新制造，只是这些用法在今年以前比较少见。

例如，WFH(居家工作)这一缩写用法是最早消失在1995年，但词典的执行主编帕顿

指出，在今年以前，很少有人知道这个缩写。

PPE(个人防护设备)的消失可以追溯到1977年，以前主要是医疗和急救专业人员使用。

social distancing 这个词是1957年首次使用的。最初是指一种冷漠或有意与他人在

社交上保持距离的行为。但在疫情中，这个词指的是;保持与他人的身体距离。

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：面试可不行靠?

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?

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.
