標題：Collins Dictionary’s word of the year is a confident, messy way of life

正文： More than a “brat summer” – it may even be a brat year. Collins Dictionary has named “brat” its word of the year for 2024, defining it as someone “characterized by a confident, independent, and hedonistic attitude.” “More than a hugely successful album, ‘brat’ is a cultural phenomenon that has resonated with people globally, and ‘brat summer’ established itself as an aesthetic and a way of life,” the UK-based dictionary publisher said.

知識點：resonate v.

1. to make a deep, clear sound that continues for a long time產生共鳴；發出回響；回蕩

2. to remind sb of sth; to be similar to what sb thinks or believes使產生聯想；引起共鳴；和…的想法（或觀念）類似
