牛津2013年度風雲字：selfie（自拍）

2013年11月19日08:41

【簡嘉宏／綜合外電報導】你今天自拍了嗎？

英國牛津字典出版社19日公布2013年度風雲單字為「自拍」（selfie，或selfy）。出版社表示，過去一年中，「自拍」這個字不僅廣泛流通使用，更迅速成為最為人所知的新創字。

根 據美聯社的報導，隨著行動裝置普及與即時通訊軟體推特（Twitter）或Instagram的推波助瀾，連美國第一夫人蜜雪兒（Michelle Obama）與下屆美國總統熱門人選的希拉蕊（Hillary Clinton）都無法抗拒今年這股自拍的風潮，因此「自拍」當選牛津字典2013年度風雲單字，受之無愧。
