but it’s not?there. Don’t worry
it’s not your fault. Over 600
000 words get submitted each year to be included in the esteemed Oxford English Dictionary
but only a few hundred make the cut. This does not mean that these words are not used
they are just not popular enough to make it into the dictionary.
有時候妳聽到壹個詞,想在詞典裏查查但是就是就是查不到,別擔心,這不是妳的問題。每年都會有超過60萬個單詞被提交成為牛津詞典新收錄詞匯的備選,但是只有幾百個會被收錄。這不意味著那些沒被收錄的詞沒人用,只是不夠流行,所以沒辦法收錄到字典裏。
These rejected words are stored in a vault owned by the Oxford University Press
and Bright Side found some of these word rejects. If their popularity rises in the future
they may well find a place among the pages of the dictionary.
這些被拒絕的單詞被存儲在牛津大學出版社的庫中,而Bright Side發現了其中壹些被拒絕的單詞。如果將來它們的流行度提高,它們很可能會出現在詞典中。
