《牛津英语词典》年度词汇新鲜出炉，万万没想到，“笑cry”这个表情居然击败众多单词，跃居榜首。

For the first time ever, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a pictograph whichofficially called the ‘Face with Tears of Joy’ emoji.

Emojis符号早在上世纪90年代就出现了，只是到2015年才火起来而已。

Emojis have been around since the late 1990s, but 2015 saw their use, and use of the wordemoji, increase hugely.

今年牛津大学出版社与移动技术领导者SwiftKey公司联合对最受欢迎emoji表情发起调查，结果显示“笑cry”引领全球风尚，成为使用率最高的表情,在英国和美国的使用率分别达到15%和17%。而在去年，这个表情在英国和美国的使用率只占4%。emoji一词也是如此，尽管1997年就有这个词了，但是直到今年才真正火了一把！

This year Oxford University Press have partnered with leading mobile technology businessSwiftKeyto explore frequency and usage statistics for some of the most popular emoji across the world, and "Face with Tears of Joy" emoji was chosen because it was the most used emoji globally in 2015. The emoji accounts for 20% of all the emojis used in the UK in 2015, and 17% of those in the US: a sharp rise from 4% and 9% respectively in 2014. The word emoji has seen a similar surge: although it has been found in English since 1997, usage more than tripled in 2015 over the previous year according to data from the Oxford Dictionaries Corpus.
