预测:"奥巴马乱"或成年热门词汇

"Palinism" and "Obama-mess" are likely to be among the top global words of 2011, as the United States gears upfor its next presidential elections, according to a language monitoring group.

根据全球语言监测机构的最新预测，随着美国为下届总统大选热身，“佩林体”和“奥巴马乱”有望成为2011年热门词汇。

The coming year will also likely be commonly deemed "Twenty-Eleven" as the English-speaking world moves away from disagreement over how to pronounce the first years of the decade, the Global Language Monitor said on Monday.

全球语言监测机构本周一表示，由于英语国家统一了本个时代中头几年的读法，明年的英文读法可能会被公认为“二十十一”。

But the "great recession" is expected to hang around in 2011 as a well-used term while the world economy struggles to right itself.

但由于世界经济持续低迷，“大衰退”一词仍将在2011年热词榜上挥之不去。

"Palinism" has been around for a couple of years, used mostly to coinmalapropismsfrom Tea Partyfavorite Sarah Palin, including her 2010 conflation"refudiate".

“佩林体”已经存在好几年了，大多用来指茶党最爱的莎拉 佩林用词错误而自创的新词，比如2010年她（把“拒绝”和“驳回”两词合在一起）生造的新词“拒驳（refudiate）”。

According to the , "Palinism" is also sometimes defined as "other illogical stream of conscious meanderingsuttered by Sarah Palin."

网站认为，“佩林体”有时也指“佩林故意编造的其它不合逻辑的弯弯绕”。

Palin, who ran unsuccessfully for vice-president in 2008 as a Republican and is now a conservative political activist, best-selling author and TV star, is pondering whether to run for US president in 2012.

尽管在2008年作为共和党候选人竞选副总统落败，但现在身兼保守派政治活动家、畅销书作家以及电视明星“数职”的佩林目前还未决定是否参加2012年总统大选。

Global Language Monitor president Paul JJ Payack said Americans were thus likely to see and hear more of Palin in 2011, adding that "the media needs an heir to 'Bushisms' and Sarah Palin is the candidate of choice here."

全球语言监测机构主席保罗 JJ 帕亚克认为，正因为如此，美国公众在2011年才更愿意见到佩林抛头露面。他补充称，“媒体急需‘布什体’的接班人，而莎拉 佩林正是最佳人选”。

Payack said that "Obama-mess" is expected to be big in 2011. "If (President Barack) Obamaregains his magic, he escaped his Obama-mess; if his rating sinks further, he continues to be engulfed by it."

帕亚克表示，“奥巴马乱”很有可能在来年大热，“如果奥巴马总统可以重现魔力，他就能从‘奥巴马乱’中脱身；但如果支持率持续下滑，那‘奥巴马乱’就要一乱到底了。”

The Texas-based Global Language Monitor has gathered the Top 10 words at the end of each year since 2000, according to citations in the media and on the Internet from throughout the English-speaking world.

全球语言监测机构总部位于美国德州，自2000年以来每年年末都会根据英语国家中媒体和网络上的单词曝光率，总结当年十大热门词汇。

"To project possible top words for 2011, we analyzed the categories that we monitor and then chose words from each representative of various world trends," Payack said.
