英语百年新词汇
<P ><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">以下是英国牛津词典评选的最有意识的百年年度新单词，你知道每个单词出现的历史背景吗？<BR>Very few words are coined in isolation. Each neologism holds a clue, however faint, of the time in which it was created. The following choice of a single word from each of the last hundred years is inevitably subjective, since hundreds of new words are being created at any one time. Nonetheless, collectively these words give a distinct picture of the shifting preoccupations of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st. The dates of <B>CHEESEBURGER</B> or <B>MOBILE PHONE</B> may surprise. </FONT></P><P ><P></P></P>
