原文&翻译
New words don’t originatefrom above, but from ordinary people spreading words that hit the right combination of useful and catchy.
新词的创造和以上两种方式无关,新词来自普通人,他们使用和传播有用又好记的词汇。
Take the word meme, coined in the 1970s by sociobiologist Richard Dawkins from the Ancient Greek for imitation.
以文化基因一词举例,该词产生于20世纪70年代,由社会生物学家理查德·道金斯创造,源自古希腊语的模仿。
He used it to describe how ideas and symbols propagate througha culture like genes through a population.
他用这一词语形容概念和符号,如何在文化中传播和基因在生物中的传播类似。
With the advent of the Internet, the process became directly observable in how jokes and images were popularized at lightning speed.
随着网络的发明,传播的过程变得可视化,笑话和图像以惊人的速度流行起来。
And soon, the word came to refer to a certain kind of image.
很快文化基因一词就指某种图像的快速流行。
So, meme not only describes how words become part of language, the word is a meme itself.
文化基因不仅用于表示词语如何成为语言的一部分,文化基因一词本身就是一种流行的文化基因。
And there’s a word for this phenomenon of words that describe themselves: autological.
这种词语自我形容的现象被称为:自体同源。
