《牛津英語詞典》最近增加許多源於韓國的新字詞。
Korea原本的拼法為Corea,從十七世紀以來就作為該國的地名使用。
ー九九九年間,K-pop一詞大量出現在美國《告示牌》雜誌上,因而在二O一六年被收錄進《牛津英語詞典》。
而後國際間對於韓國流行文化的與趣快速上升;「韓劇」一詞開始獲得使用。
而随著「韓式彩妝」、「韓國文化」、「韓式風格」以及其他韓國相關用字紛紛載入《牛津英語詞典》,「韓流現象」更是持續發燒。
此外,雖文和英文混合使用的「韓式英文」,更伴隨著食物料理名稱一起出現。
結果就是:超過二十個最初於韓國使用的字詞獲得增錄;其中包括意譯的「韓流」Korean wave以及音譯的「韓流」 Hallyu,道破一切。
《韋伯字典》則出現四百五十五個近來新增的字詞,包括dad bod-指一種典型的中年老爹體型。
此外還有digital nomad,意指透過網路在任何地方從事工作的人。
與疫情相關的用字則包括「社交距離」,「突破性或染」、「疫苗護照」以及「新冠後遺症」等。
好多好多的字;而且,以後還會有更多!

Many recently added words have come from electronic files, the pandemic, pop culture and politics. The OED has added many new English words from Korea recently. Korea, originally spelled Corea, has been used as the country's place name since the 17th century. In 1999 "K-pop" surfaced in Billboard Magazine and in 2016 was added to the OED. Then interest in South Korean pop culture took off internationally. "K-drama" began being used. The K- phenomenon continued as “K-beauty," "K-culture," "K-style" and other K-words found their way into OED.
Additionally, Konglish, a mixture of Korean and English, appeared along with food words. The result: over 20 words that originally began in Korea were added. Those include "Korean wave" and "Hallyu," which say it all.
From Merriam-Webster we have 455 recently added words including "dad bod" a typical middle-aged dad's body shape. Also added was "digital nomad," meaning someone who does their job over the internet from anywhere. Pandemic related words include "social distance,' "breakthrough," "vaccine passport" and "long COVID."
So many words. And there are more on the way!

ganjang gejang (kahn-jang keh-jang)醬油蟹,韓國五大名菜之一,將未經烹調的生蟹放在醬油中醃製而成,當地民眾喜愛直接將白飯加進蟹蓋內與蟹黃一起伴吃,故這道菜色又名「偷飯賊」。 朝鮮傳統醫學認為螃蟹性寒,有助驅除春溫,醬油蟹於山林經濟、閨閤叢書、是議全書等李氏朝鮮時期的典籍中有所記載。 追源中國蟹醬,這種吃法起源很早,在《周禮》上早有記載。
