Dictionary Chooses “Feminism” as Word of the Year
字典将“女权主义”选为年度词汇
Merriam-Webster, a prominent US dictionary, has selected “feminism” as its Word of the Year for 2017. Dictionary searches for the word “feminism” are up by 70% this year according to Merriam-Webster. This year’s women’s marches and harassment claims (especially the #MeToo movement) are both reasons for the increase in searches for this term. Merriam-Webster defines the word feminism as “the theory of the political, social, and economic equality of the sexes” as well as “organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests.” The film Wonder Woman and the TV series The Handmaid’s Tale also helped popularize this search term in 2017.
杰出的美国词典梅里亚姆·韦伯斯特将“女权主义”选为2017年度词汇。梅里亚姆·韦伯斯特表示今年“女权主义”的搜索量增加了70%。主要是因为今年的女性游行和骚扰索赔（尤其是#我也是运动）。梅里亚姆·韦伯斯特对女权主义的定义是“两性在政治、社会和经济方面平等的理论”以及“代表女性权益组织活动”。电影《神奇女侠》和电视《使女的故事》也使得2017年对女权主义的搜索大量增加。
