之前有朋友说过:https://www.pdawiki.com/forum/thread-40738-1-1.html

那时候还没有定稿,现在Merriam-Webster 已经上了新释义:https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism

我感觉例证选得也不错。

前天哦。

atlantic 就此事有一篇报道:https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/09/how-racism-made-its-way-into-dictionary-merriam-webster/615334/

里面还提及了Merriam-Webster的一些历史,不熟悉的朋友可以看看。

2020年真是流年不利,世界剧烈变化,新词新义新用法自然是层出不穷,我劝那些想出版「英汉新词词典」的朋友等一等,说不定再过一阵子全书篇幅涨十个百分点唷

urban dictionary 这类经常更新的词典,也别急着爬新版了 —— 世界变化快,刚爬就过时,不划算
