Donald Trump1's linguistic2 dexterity3 may be questionable4, but the US president's lexicon5 has had an impact on the English language, which is reflected in the latest additions to oxforddictionaries.com, the online reference guide to current English.
特朗普的语言技巧可能受人质疑，但这位美国总统的常用语已对英语造成了影响，这在最新增补的牛津在线词典中可见一斑。牛津在线词典是流行英语的参考指南。
New coinages that reflect the latest wave of online political activism form a significant section of more than 300 new definitions in the database, which is a sister work to the
Oxford6 English Dictionary.
Additions including "clicktivism" (a
pejorative7 word for armchair
activists8 on social media), "haterade" (excessive negativity, criticism, or resentment), "otherize" (view or treat – a person or group of people – as intrinsically different from and alien to oneself) and "
herd9 mentality10" (the tendency for people's behaviour or beliefs to conform to those of the group to which they belong) all emerged during the 2016 battle for the White House, said head of content development Angus Stevenson.
"We are getting a convergence of high-level politics and online language in quite a new way," Stevenson said. "We had all the words around Brexit in the last update and we are now starting to see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary."
Stevenson said that new terms from Trump, his supporters and opponents were emerging more rapidly than in the past. "We have lots to add all the time. We don't have 'fake news' or 'alternative fact' this time, because they have just started gaining currency, but I am sure they will be in the next update," he added.
