近日,调查数据显示“笑哭脸”表情霸占了2015年的全球社交网络,表明了现代人对无拘无束放声大笑的渴望。 我们来看一段相关的英文报道 A recent study by a German institute shows that the emoji commonly described as "face with tears of joy" is the most popular emoji used on social media platforms. It has been used 6.5 billion times on Twitter. Oxford University Press has chosen this emoji as Word of the Year for 2015 because it made up 20 percent of all the emojis used in the U.K. in 2015, as well as 17 percent of those in the U.S. An emoji is defined as a small digital image or icon used to express an idea or emotion in electronic communication.
【讲解】 文中的face with tears of joy就是“笑哭脸”的意思,其中tears of joy意为“喜悦的泪水”,如:She smiled and could not hold back tears of joy.(她笑了起来,禁不住流下喜悦的泪水。) 第三段中的digital用作形容词,意为“数字的;数码的”,常见的搭配如:digital thermometer(数字温度计)、digital watch(数字手表)等。
