Dictionary Chooses “Feminism” as Word of the Year
字典將“女權(quán)主義”選為年度詞匯
Merriam-Webster, a prominent US dictionary, has selected “feminism” as its Word of the Year for 2017. Dictionary searches for the word “feminism” are up by 70% this year according to Merriam-Webster. This year’s women’s marches and harassment claims (especially the #MeToo movement) are both reasons for the increase in searches for this term. Merriam-Webster defines the word feminism as “the theory of the political, social, and economic equality of the sexes” as well as “organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests.” The film Wonder Woman and the TV series The Handmaid’s Tale also helped popularize this search term in 2017.
杰出的美國(guó)詞典梅里亞姆·韋伯斯特將“女權(quán)主義”選為2017年度詞匯。梅里亞姆·韋伯斯特表示今年“女權(quán)主義”的搜索量增加了70%。主要是因?yàn)榻衲甑呐杂涡泻万}擾索賠（尤其是#我也是運(yùn)動(dòng)）。梅里亞姆·韋伯斯特對(duì)女權(quán)主義的定義是“兩性在政治、社會(huì)和經(jīng)濟(jì)方面平等的理論”以及“代表女性權(quán)益組織活動(dòng)”。電影《神奇女俠》和電視《使女的故事》也使得2017年對(duì)女權(quán)主義的搜索大量增加。
