2018年哪个英语词汇最流行？
”single-use（一次性的）”！
据报道，英国出版的《柯林斯词典》把"single-use”评为2018年度词汇。
《柯林斯词典》拥有一个45亿词语的语料库，工作人员从书籍、报纸、杂志和广播电视等媒介出现过的词汇中，选取出年度代表词汇。
《柯林斯词典》表示，今年词语"single-use”出现的频率大幅度增加。
这个词用来形容用完后就扔掉的塑料产品,这些一次性产品不可持续而且会对地球环境造成危害。
随着污染成为日益重要的政治议题，这个词在2018年的使用频率达到2013年的四倍。
鉴于全球都在努力应对塑料产品对环境造成的威胁，词语"single-use”的使用比以前更频繁了。
词典的一位发言人说："一次性产品在海洋上漂流的情况，引起了一场号召减少使用一次性塑料产品的全球性运动。
