牛津詞典：我們決定取消最噁心英文單詞票選

Oxford Dictionaries suspended its #OneWordMap most-hated words project. An update to the blog post describing the feature stated: “We regret to inform users that due to severe misuse we have had to remove this feature from our website.”
牛津字典暫停了話題#OneWordMa——最可恨單詞這個專案。部落格上更新道：“我們很遺憾地通知使用者，由於嚴重濫用，我們不得不把這個功能從我們的網站上撤銷。”

It’s possible that the suspension stemmed from the apparent outpouring of anti-Islam sentiment in the submissions to the project. Some Twitter accounts posted screenshots purporting to show that Oxford Dictionaries had barred certain sensitive words, like “Islam,” from submission prior to the decision to take down the project.
此次暫停有可能是源於在專案提交時對反伊斯蘭情緒的明顯流露。一些推特賬戶釋出的截圖顯示，在決定拿下這個專案之前，牛津字典已經禁止提交如“Islam（伊斯蘭教）”等某些敏感詞彙。

However, the nature of the misuse was not specified in the site’s statement, and Oxford Dictionaries had not responded to a request for more details about why the program was halted.
然而，濫用的定義並沒有在網站的宣告中指定，而且牛津字典也沒有迴應終止原因的更多細節。

PREVIOUSLY: Do you hate the word “moist”? Well, congratulations: You’re in excellent company. The word ― usually applied with varying degrees of ickiness to cake or to bodily orifices ― holds a legendary power of repulsion, and a new project by Oxford Dictionaries to compile people’s most hated English-language words is confirming this.
回顧：你討厭“moist（潮溼）”這個詞嗎？好吧，恭喜你：你和大眾品味一致。這個詞通常指蛋糕或身體器官上不同程度的粘度——擁有一種奇葩的厭惡感，由牛津字典的一個新專案所編輯的“人最討厭的英語單詞”證實了這一點。

As of this writing, the website counts over 14,000 submissions, broken down by country, and “moist” hovers at or near the top of the list in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada.
在撰寫本文時，網站上有超過1萬4000次的提交，根據國家進行分類，在美國、英國、澳大利亞和加拿大，“溼潤”這一單詞徘徊或接近了榜首。
