   据外媒报道,从欧洲难民危机、英国脱欧公投到美国总统大选,今年全球政治议题均与仇外情绪密不可分,有见及此,字典网站Dictionary.com日前便宣布将“xenophobia”(仇外)选为年度单词。


  Dictionary网站词典编撰人员所罗门指,6月英国脱欧公投当天及前后一日,“xenophobia”在网站的搜寻次数激增938%。
  “xenophobia”一词在1800年代末期才出现于英语世界,字根来自两个希腊词语“xenos”及“phobos”,前者意思为“陌生人或客人”,后者则是“恐惧或恐慌”。
  Dictionary网站对此词的定义是“针对外国人、来自不同文化的人或陌生人的恐惧”,并计划将定义扩为“讨厌或恐惧与自己背景不同的人的习俗、服装及文化”。
