‘Goblin mode’: new Oxford word of the year speaks to the times
‘哥布林模式’：牛津年度新词与时代对话
“Goblin mode” has been chosen by the public as the 2022 Oxford word of the year. The term, which refers to “a type of behaviour which is unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations”, has become the first word of the year to have been decided by public vote.
“哥布林模式”（俗称“摆烂模式”）被公众选为2022年牛津年度词汇。这个词指的是“一种毫无歉意地自我放纵、懒惰、邋遢或贪婪的行为，通常以一种拒绝社会规范或期望的方式呈现”，是第一个由公众投票决定的牛津年度词汇。
Given a choice of three words narrowed down by lexicographers from Oxford University Press (OUP), more than 340,000 English speakers around the world cast their vote.
牛津大学出版社的词典编纂者选出了三个词，全世界超过34万名说英语的人参与了投票。
“Metaverse” was the second choice, followed by “#IStandWith”. Goblin mode was a landslide victory: it was selected by 318,956 people, making up 93%of the overall vote.
在候选词汇中，“元宇宙（Metaverse）”排名第二，其次是“#我支持（#IStandWith）”。“哥布林模式”获得了压倒性的胜利：有318956人把票投给了它，占总票数的93%。
The president of Oxford Languages, Casper Grathwohl, said that while he and his colleagues were “hoping the public would enjoy being brought into the process”, the level of engagement had caught them “totally by surprise”.
牛津大学出版社语言中心主任卡斯珀·格拉斯沃表示，虽然他和他的同事们“希望公众会喜欢参与到这个过程中”，但公众的参与度“完全出乎他们的意料”。

延伸阅读
The winning term was first seen on Twitter in 2009, but went viral on social media in February 2022 after being tweeted in a mocked-up headline.
该词汇于2009年首次出现在推特上，但在以模拟标题发布推文后于2022年2月在社交媒体上疯传。
Goblin mode “embraces the comforts of depravity”, wrote the Guardian technology reporter Kari Paul in March, who attributed the rise in the phrase’s usage to “the pandemic’s third year and the feared launch of World War Three”.
《卫报》科技记者卡里·保罗在3月写道，哥布林模式“拥抱堕落的舒适”，他将该短语的使用率上升归因于“新冠疫情的第三年和令人恐惧、可能爆发的第三次世界大战”。
The hashtag #goblinmode on TikTok is often used as a rebuff of the “that girl” trend, which is all about being the “best version of yourself”, ie getting up early to exercise, performing elaborate skincare routines and drinking organic green smoothies – and, of course, posting about all of this on social media.
TikTok上的标签#哥布林模式经常被用作对“那个女孩”趋势的拒绝，“那个女孩”指的是做“最好的自己”，比如早起锻炼，进行精心的护肤程序和喝有机绿色奶昔，当然，还要在社交媒体上发布所有这些信息。
The OUP noted that the usage of goblin mode rose in the first half of 2022, when Covid restrictions were being eased in many countries. “Seemingly, it captured the prevailing mood of individuals who rejected the idea of returning to ‘normal life’, or rebelled against the increasingly unattainable aesthetic standards and unsustainable lifestyles exhibited on social media.”
牛津大学出版社指出，2022年上半年“哥布林模式”的使用率有所上升，当时许多国家正在放宽新冠疫情限制措施。“它似乎抓住了那些拒绝回归‘正常生活’或者反抗社交媒体上越来越难以达到的审美标准和不可持续的生活方式的人的普遍情绪。”
