近日，柯林斯词典（Collins Dictionary）公布了2024年度词汇：Brat.
🤔️小作业：
Question:
Why was "BRAT" selected as Collins' 2024 Word of the Year?
A) The term “brat” has acquired a novel cultural connotation recently.
B) It is typically employed to depict children with misbehaviors.
C) Charli xcx’s fans compelled Collins to incorporate this word.
D) Collins aimed to symbolize the vogue of the “brat summer” fashion trend.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. The word “brat” has recently obtained a new cultural meaning, which might have made it stand out and be chosen as the Word of the Year as it could potentially reflect certain emerging cultural trends or shifts in society. Option B only represents its traditional and common usage, not the specific reason for its selection in 2024. Option C is rather unlikely as a sole determinant without broader significance. Option D is too narrow in focusing only on a specific fashion trend and may not comprehensively account for its overall selection.

《柯林斯词典》选出代表2024年的10个单词中，“brat”名列榜首。受另一位流行歌手影响的词汇“era（时代）”也入选了年度词汇榜单，该词源于泰勒·斯威夫特（Taylor Swift）的时代巡回演唱会。“Supermajority（超级多数）”是唯一一个反映了今年众多选举的词汇——显然，七月英国大选前后，该词的使用率急剧上升。
