A breakthrough year for the pictograms first spread by textingteens has been marked by the Oxford Dictionaries’ recognitionfor a word or expression that “captures the ethos, mood, or preoccupations of that particularyear.”
牛津詞典的認(rèn)可標(biāo)志著表情符號突破性發(fā)展的一年。一個(gè)單詞或短語能夠“抓住那一年的精神、情緒或極其重要的事情”即是牛津詞典的評定標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。而表情文字是最先在青少年發(fā)送的短信中傳播起來的。

“As a result emoji are becoming an increasingly rich form of communication, one thattranscends linguistic borders.

“表情符號成為交流溝通中越來越豐富的形式，它超越了語言的界限。比如，安迪·穆雷完全用表情符號把他的婚禮過程在推特上發(fā)布，他直接地與世界各地的粉絲們分享了當(dāng)天他微妙又復(fù)雜的情緒。用表情符號完整有效的表達(dá)了他的情緒。”

Oxford Dictionaries defines a “word” variously as a “single distinct meaningful element of speechor writing” or “conceptual unit of language”, allowing emoji to take their place among moreconventional communicative forms.
牛津詞典定義一個(gè)“單詞”為“語句或?qū)懽髦械膯蝹€(gè)有意義的元素”或“語言中的概念單位”，這讓表情符號能夠代替單詞在傳統(tǒng)交際形式中的位置。
