言論自由完勝慘慘公爵夫人
應該無乜人會唔記得Harry同Meghan呢兩公婆今年三月接受Oprah訪問呢單英國皇室鬧劇,話自己唔係响大婚典禮嗰日註冊、有皇室人員問個仔會係咩色、質疑係歧視所以個仔唔係王子、有自殺傾向但皇室唔比佢睇醫生之如此類,總之係慘絕人寰。
响訪問出街之後,鬧交界KOL Piers Morgan响當時佢仲係主播嘅《ITV》早晨皇牌節目Good Morning Britain嗰度直接批評Meghan大話連篇,結果Meghan本人同五萬七千幾人一齊向英國電訊監管機構Ofcom投訴,打破Ofcom成立十八年以黎投訴人數嘅紀錄。今日Ofcom正式公布投訴結果,簡單啲就用四個字講晒,「言論自由」。
"Consistent with freedom of expression, Mr Morgan was entitled to say he disbelieved the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's allegations and to hold and express strong views that rigorously challenged their account.
(响貫徹言論自由嘅原則下,Mr Morgan係有權表達對公爵同公爵夫人所講嘅不信任,同時亦有權激烈挑戰佢地嘅言論。)
"The [Ofcom broadcasting] code allows for individuals to express strongly held and robustly argued views, including those that are potentially harmful or highly offensive, and for broadcasters to include these in their programming.
(Ofcom嘅監管守則從來都容許個人,包括廣播機構嘅從業員,表達強而有力嘅論點,當中包括可能做成傷害或者攻擊性嘅言論。)
"The restriction of such views would, in our view, be an unwarranted and chilling restriction on freedom of expression both of the broadcaster and the audience."
(限制呢類觀點只會對廣播從業員或者觀眾嘅言論自由做成不必要嘅寒蟬效應。)

"Lockdown" has been declared the word of the year for 2020 by Collins Dictionary, after a sharp rise in its usage during the pandemic. It "encapsulates the shared experience of billions of people", Collins said.

4. encapsulate (v.) 概括、濃縮
5. the shared experience of billions of people 億萬人的共同體驗
世界著名的英語辭典——柯林斯辭典率先宣布,「封城」因為在新冠疫情期間使用率飆升,成為2020年的年度熱詞。柯林斯辭典在宣佈「封城」為本年度熱詞時表示,該詞「概括濃縮了億萬人的共同體驗」。
★★★★★★★★★★★
Lexicographers registered more than 250,000 usages of "lockdown" during 2020, up from just 4,000 last year. Other pandemic-linked terms on the 10-strong list include "furlough", "key worker", "self-isolate" and "social distancing" as well as "coronavirus".
6. up from… 從

★★★★★★★★★★★
Non-virus related words to make the list reflect the social and political upheavals of 2020. Following the death of the unarmed black man George Floyd in the US the abbreviation "BLM", for the Black Lives Matter movement, features having registered a 581% increase in usage, according to Collins.
12. social and political upheavals 社會和政治的變化
13. the Black Lives Matter movement 「黑人的命也是命」維權運動
14. an increase in usage 使用量增加
其他和病毒無關的排行單字則反映了2020年的社會和政治變化。其中如美國黑人喬治・佛洛伊德死亡後,柯林斯表示「黑人的命也是命BLM」一詞的使用量增加了581%。
★★★★★★★★★★★
"Megxit", the term modelled on the word Brexit which was used for the withdrawal of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from royal duties also makes the list. Social media also plays its part with "TikToker", describing someone who shares content on the platform TikTok and "mukbang" - a term originating in South Korea which describes a host who broadcasts videos of themselves eating large quantities of food.
15. be modelled on 以~為原型
16. the withdrawal of…from… 從~撤出
17. make the list 列清單;(組成)排行榜上
18. share content 分享內容
19. mukbang (大胃王)吃播
20. broadcast videos 播放影片
「抖音創作者」也在社群媒體佔有一席之地,其描述在抖音平台分享內容的人;而「吃播」這個詞起源於南韓,描述了播主播放自己吃大量食物的影片。「梅根脫英」是一個以英國脫歐一詞為原型的術語,該詞在排行榜上,並曾被用來形容薩塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人從王室職務中撤離一事。
★★★★★★★★★★★
Helen Newstead, language content consultant at Collins, said: "Language is a reflection of the world around us and 2020 has been dominated by the global pandemic. "Lockdown has affected the way we work, study, shop, and socialize. “With many countries entering a second lockdown, it is not a word of the year to celebrate but it is, perhaps, one that sums up the year for most of the world."
21. a reflection of ~的體現、反映、表達
22. be dominated by 被~主宰
23. the global pandemic 全球疫情
24. enter a second lockdown (來到)第二次封城(抗疫)
25. sum up 總結
柯林斯辭典的語言內容顧問海倫·紐斯特德說:「語言是我們周圍世界的體現,2020年已經被全球疫情主宰。封城影響了我們的工作、學習、購物和社交方式。隨著許多國家第二次封城抗疫,這當然不是一個值得慶祝的年度熱詞,但卻算是能最好概括和總結今年的詞。」
