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？
Very few words are coined in isolation 1. 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 2 subjective 3， 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 CHEESEBURGER or MOBILE PHONE may surprise.
