'Unprecedented' Named People's Choice
2020 Word of the Year by Dictionary.com


The word received the most user submissions.
By Olivia Eubanks

After Dictionary.com named "pandemic" its Word of the Year, users of the online dictionary elected "unprecedented" as the People's Choice 2020 Word of the Year.

"Unprecedented" beat out "pandemic" by a small margin, according to John Kelly, senior research editor at Dictionary.com, and is defined by the site as "without previous instance; never before known or experienced; unexampled or unparalleled." Other user submissions included "dumpster fire," "apocalyptic" and "pandemonium."

"What's particularly fascinating about unprecedented from a language perspective is the life cycle the word has had this year," Kelly said in a statement. "The pandemic, the protests, the presidential election, extreme climate episodes—2020 sent us searching for a word that could do justice to the scale and pace of all this upheaval. We landed on unprecedented, and this was borne out both in lookups as well as in all the emails, ads, and headlines reminding us we're living in unprecedented times."

Christmas Star Dec 22, 2020


Jupiter and Saturn appear to close in on each other in the south-southwest sky. On December 21, 2020 (also winter solstice), the two planets make their closest observable alignment (0.1º apart) since 1226. The celestial phenomenon, known as the Great Conjunction, has also been called the "Christmas Star".

THE YEAR Dec 31, 2020

NewYear2021THE YEAR
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That's not been said a thousand times?

The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.

We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.

We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.

We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead.

We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that's the burden of the year.

Looking back at 2020 Jan 1, 2021

《回看二〇二〇》

二零二零,到处关门。
春无笑脸,夏不出行。
秋后算账,冬免节庆。
餐馆断炊,学校无声。
老不做寿,少不结婚。
就算够风流,也不敢调情。
荒郊成向往,牙痛真的不是病。
口罩是标配,酒精近乎神:
美丑都得戴,不戴怒目横。
进出都得擦,三遍仍疑心。
一声咳嗽,四散惊魂。
只要是人,草木皆兵。
《十面埋伏》算个啥!
走到这一步,就是上天无路,入地无门。
人若心中无慈悲,所有智慧等于零。
今后史书怎么称?
这一年,大约就叫“”。

我在准备贴出 Wilcox’s “THE YEAR” 这首诗的时候就琢磨: 2020年应该是全球囚困之年吧?
看到这个 “从心(heart)、门(door)声” 的字,闷怀顿释。


闷字的确凝聚了二〇二〇年诸多特征:

 憋闷 stifling; 胸闷 Chest Congestion; 闷窒(窒息) suffocation; 滞闷 pent-up feeling; [心情]沉闷 feeling depressed

 闲闷 being bored; 苦闷 dejected; 烦闷 vexed; 郁闷 melancholy; 愤闷 resentful

 闷在鼓里 being fooled; 闷在家里 shut oneself up; 喝闷酒 drinking alone;闷声不响 remain silent

 闷葫芦 morose person; 闷棍 strike a heavy blow

 闷〈动〉close tightly

 解闷 overcome boredom, diversion; 遁逸无闷

Don't own 40m? Stay home! Jan 10, 2021

微信转贴,非原创。原文:

天天听到小区的喇叭在喊:
没4000万别出门,没4000万别出门。
知道自己没4000万,所以一直都不敢出门,还以为出门的人都有4000万。
在家呆了3天,今天总算听清楚了,喊的是“没事千万别出门”。

点评。估计是故意混淆,以营造一种幽默。尽管汉语表音又表意,但若非特意加符号,很难展现说话时常出现的停顿、阴阳顿挫的音调。肢体所显示的涵义就更不用谈了。这里,应该是“没事,千万别出门”。这个“,”号表示说话过程中短促地停顿。

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
‘Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

I’ll be a dandy, and I’ll be a rover
You’ll know who I am by the songs that I sing
I’ll feast at your table, I’ll sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
‘Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

I can’t be contented with yesterday’s glory
I can’t live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
I’ll laugh and I’ll cry and I’ll sing

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
‘Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
‘Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

Stocks close lower on news of deadly virus spreading to US
Fred Imbert 15 mins ago

Stocks ended lower Tuesday after the Centers for Disease Control told Reuters that a traveler from China was diagnosed with the first U.S. case of coronavirus, in Seattle.


起码有半年没去中国超市了,快过春节了。本想去一趟,买点绍兴酒、茶叶之类的;上网一看,这“武汉肺炎病毒”已经到西雅图了!在城北 Snohomish,那里是波音厂区。三个星期前,我还在另一帖中说敢喝 。。。那时还根本不知道有这回事。看来还是继续啃面包最安全,就是在西雅图也不能乱跑了。

By Mike Lindblom
Seattle Times staff reporter

Two cases of a new COVID-19 variant, first identified in the United Kingdom, have been detected in specimens from two Snohomish County residents, health authorities announced Saturday afternoon.

This strain of coronavirus spreads more easily and quickly than the original variant, the Snohomish Health District said.

As of Friday, there were 195 detections of this version in 22 states, including Oregon.
