For the very first time an emoji has replaced an actual word as the Oxford Dictionaries』 word of the year.
一個emoji表情首次取代了真正的單詞，成為了牛津詞典年度單詞。
The 「Face with tears of joy」 emoji, more commonly known as 「crying face」, was chosen as it summed up the 「mood, ethos and preoccupations of 2015」.
這個「喜極而泣」表情，很多人也叫它「笑cry」表情。它被選中的原因是因為它總結了「2015年的心情、思潮和熱點」。
While it might make some lover of English language feel like crying themselves, Oxford University Press says it’s now part of modern speech, with even Hillary Clinton asking for feedback in the form of emojis on Twitter recently.
雖然這會讓一些熱愛英語的人哭笑不得，但牛津大學出版社說這個表情現在已經是現代人話語的一部分了，連希拉蕊•柯林頓最近也在推特上用emoji眾表情詢問反饋。
But as the whole world seems to have fallen in love with the little symbols, how well do you understand it?
現在似乎全世界都已經愛上了這些小表情，但你又有多懂它呢？
