Today, Oxford Dictionaries announces post-truth as its 2016 international Word of the Year. The Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a word or expression chosen to reflect the passing year in language. Every year, the Oxford Dictionaries team reviews candidates for word of the year and then debates their merits, choosing one that captures the ethos, mood, or preoccupations of that particular year.
今天，《牛津詞典》宣布將“后真相”作為2016世界年度詞匯。“牛津詞典年度詞匯”是一個(gè)精選出來(lái)的單詞或短語(yǔ)，它能以語(yǔ)言形式反映該年特點(diǎn)?！杜＝蛟~典》團(tuán)隊(duì)每年都會(huì)對(duì)候選的年度詞匯進(jìn)行評(píng)議，然后就詞匯價(jià)值展開(kāi)激烈辯論，最后挑選出一個(gè)詞，這個(gè)詞要能反映特定年份的社會(huì)思潮、情緒或重點(diǎn)關(guān)切。

Language research conducted by Oxford Dictionaries editors reveals that use of the word post-truth has increased by approximately 2,000% over its usage in 2015.
《牛津詞典》編輯們的語(yǔ)言研究結(jié)果表明：相比2015年，“后真相”這個(gè)詞的使用率上升了約2000%。

The concept of post-truth has been in existence for the past decade, but Oxford Dictionaries has seen a spike in frequency this year in the context of the EU referendum in the United Kingdom and the presidential election in the United States. It has also become associated with a particular noun, in the phrase ‘post-truth politics’.
“后真相”這一概念在過(guò)去十年中就已存在，但是《牛津詞典》發(fā)現(xiàn)今年其使用頻率飆升，而這種現(xiàn)象之后的背景是英國(guó)脫歐公投和美國(guó)總統(tǒng)大選。還出現(xiàn)了一個(gè)與之相關(guān)的特定名詞短語(yǔ)——“后真相政治”。

‘It’s not surprising that our choice reflects a year dominated by highly-charged political and social discourse,’ says Casper Grathwohl, President of Oxford Dictionaries. ‘Fuelled by the rise of social media as a news source and a growing distrust of facts offered up by the establishment, post-truth as a concept has been finding its linguistic footing for some time.’
《牛津詞典》負(fù)責(zé)人卡斯帕?格拉沃斯說(shuō)：“果不其然，我們選出的詞反映了今年充斥著高度緊張的政治和社會(huì)論爭(zhēng)。隨著社交媒體崛起成為大眾消息來(lái)源，而傳統(tǒng)媒體發(fā)布的事實(shí)受到越來(lái)越多的質(zhì)疑，后真相這一概念已找到其語(yǔ)言學(xué)根基，而且這種現(xiàn)象已經(jīng)持續(xù)一段時(shí)間了?！?/div>
