What headline? ‘Gaslighting’ Merriam-Webster’s word of 2022

From: AP NEWS

“Gaslighting” — mind manipulating, grossly misleading, downright deceitful — is Merriam-Webster’s word of the year.

Lookups for the word on merriam-webster.com increased 1,740% in 2022 over the year before. But something else happened. There wasn’t a single event that drove significant spikes in the curiosity, as it usually goes with the chosen word of the year.

The gaslighting was pervasive.

“It’s a word that has risen so quickly in the English language, and especially in the last four years, that it actually came as a surprise to me and to many of us,” said Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster’s editor at large, in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press ahead of Monday’s unveiling.

“It was a word looked up frequently every single day of the year,” he said.

There were deepfakes and the dark web. There were deep states and fake news. And there was a whole lot of trolling.

Merriam-Webster’s top definition for gaslighting is the psychological manipulation of a person, usually over an extended period of time, that “causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one’s emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator.”

Gaslighting is a heinous tool frequently used by abusers in relationships — and by politicians and other newsmakers. It can happen between romantic partners, within a broader family unit and among friends. It can be a corporate tactic, or a way to mislead the public. There’s also “medical gaslighting,” when a health care professional dismisses a patient’s symptoms or illness as “all in your head.”

Despite its relatively recent prominence — including “Gaslighter,” The Chicks’ 2020 album featuring the rousingly angry titular single — the word was brought to life more than 80 years ago with “Gas Light,” a 1938 play by Patrick Hamilton.

It birthed two film adaptations in the 1940s. One, George Cukor’s “Gaslight” in 1944, starred Ingrid Bergman as Paula Alquist and Charles Boyer as Gregory Anton. The two marry after a whirlwind romance and Gregory turns out to be a champion gaslighter. Among other instances, he insists her complains over the constant dimming of their London townhouse’s gaslights is a figment of her troubled mind. It wasn’t.

The death of Angela Lansbury in October drove some interest in lookups of the word, Sokolowski said. She played Nancy Oliver, a young maid hired by Gregory and told not to bother his “high-strung” wife.

The term gaslighting was later used by mental health practitioners to clinically describe a form of prolonged coercive control in abusive relationships.

“There is this implication of an intentional deception,” Sokolowski said. “And once one is aware of that deception, it’s not just a straightforward lie, as in, you know, I didn’t eat the cookies in the cookie jar. It’s something that has a little bit more devious quality to it. It has possibly an idea of strategy or a long-term plan.”

Merriam-Webster, which logs 100 million pageviews a month on its site, chooses its word of the year based solely on data. Sokolowski and his team weed out evergreen words most commonly looked up to gauge which word received a significant bump over the year before.

They don’t slice and dice why people look up words, which can be anything from quick spelling and definition checks to some sort of attempt at inspiration or motivation. Some of the droves who looked up “gaslighting” this year might have wanted to know, simply, if it’s one or two words, or whether it’s hyphenated.

“Gaslighting,” Sokolowski said, spent all of 2022 in the top 50 words looked up on merriam-webster.com to earn top dog word of the year status. Last year’s pick was “vaccine.” Rounding out this year’s Top 10 are:

— “Oligarch,” driven by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

— “Omicron,” the persistent COVID-19 variant and the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet.

— “Codify,” as in turning abortion rights into federal law.

— “Queen consort,” what King Charles’ wife, Camilla is newly known as.

— “Raid,” as in the search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

— “Sentient,” with lookups brought on by Google canning the engineer who claimed an unreleased AI system had become sentient.

— “Cancel culture,” enough said.

— “LGBTQIA,” for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and asexual, aromantic or agender.

— “Loamy,” which many Wordle users tried back in August, though the right word that day was “clown.”

2022年，在韦氏词典上该词的查询量比前一年增加了1740%。但不像往常被选中的年度词汇那样，由单一事件推动了人们好奇心的大幅飙升，今年的不太一样。

The gaslighting was pervasive.

煤气灯效应（gaslighting）无处不在。

表示“到处存在的，到处弥漫着的，遍布的”，英文解释为“Something, especially something bad, that is pervasive is present or felt throughout a place or thing.”如：the pervasive influence of mobile phones in daily life 手机在日常生活中无处不在的影响。

📍《经济学人》（The Economist）一篇讲述疫情带来的影响的文章中提到：But there will also be residual fear, pervasive uncertainty, a lack of innovative fervour and deepened inequalities. 但同时也会有残留的恐惧感、普遍的不确定性、匮乏的创新激情，以及加剧的不平等。

“It’s a word that has risen so quickly in the English language, and especially in the last four years, that it actually came as a surprise to me and to many of us,” said Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster’s editor at large, in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press ahead of Monday’s unveiling.

韦氏词典的特约编辑彼得·索科洛夫斯基（Peter Sokolowski）在周一揭晓前接受美联社（The Associated Press）独家采访时说：“这是一个在英语中发展如此之快的词，尤其是在过去四年里，它实际上让我、让我们许多人感到惊讶。”

作为名词，原意指“（斯堪的纳维亚地区传说中的）山精，巨人，侏儒”（an imaginary, either very large or very small creature in traditional Scandinavian stories, that has magical powers and lives in mountains or caves）；

📍另一个常见意思是，指在因特网上为吸引别人关注或捣乱故意留下令人生气的帖子，可以理解为“喷子，键盘侠”，英文解释为“someone who leaves an intentionally annoying message on the internet, in order to get attention or cause trouble”。

Merriam-Webster’s top definition for gaslighting is the psychological manipulation of a person, usually over an extended period of time, that “causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one’s emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator.”

韦氏词典对煤气灯效应（gaslighting）的定义是通常在很长一段时间内，对一个人的心理操纵，这种操纵“导致受害者对自己的想法、对现实的看法或者对记忆产生质疑，并往往产生困惑、失去信心和自尊心、导致情绪或精神稳定的不确定性以及对加害者的依赖。”

Gaslighting is a heinous tool frequently used by abusers in relationships — and by politicians and other newsmakers. It can happen between romantic partners, within a broader family unit and among friends. It can be a corporate tactic, or a way to mislead the public. There’s also “medical gaslighting,” when a health care professional dismisses a patient’s symptoms or illness as “all in your head.”

煤气灯效应是一种令人发指的工具，经常被恋爱中的施暴者——以及政客和其他新闻人物——利用。它可能发生在恋人之间、在更广大的家庭中以及在朋友之间。它可能是一种公司策略，也可能是误导公众的一种方式。还有“医疗煤气灯效应”，即医护人员将病人的症状或疾病斥为“想太多/心理作用。”

all in one's head相当于in one's imagination表示“凭空想象，想太多了，全是心理作用”，英文解释为“Not substantial or real; having been imagined or invented.” 也可以说all in the/one's mind.

Despite its relatively recent prominence — including “Gaslighter,” The Chicks’ 2020 album featuring the rousingly angry titular single — the word was brought to life more than 80 years ago with “Gas Light,” a 1938 play by Patrick Hamilton.

尽管这个词最近很流行——包括南方小鸡2020年的专辑及其同名单曲都是这个词——但80多年前，帕特里克·汉密尔顿（Patrick Hamilton）1938年的一部舞台剧《煤气灯》（Gas Light）就出现了这个说法。

It birthed two film adaptations in the 1940s. One, George Cukor’s “Gaslight” in 1944, starred Ingrid Bergman as Paula Alquist and Charles Boyer as Gregory Anton. The two marry after a whirlwind romance and Gregory turns out to be a champion gaslighter. Among other instances, he insists her complains over the constant dimming of their London townhouse’s gaslights is a figment of her troubled mind. It wasn’t.

该剧在20世纪40年代催生了两部改编电影。其中一部是乔治·库克（George Cukor）1944年的《煤气灯下》（Gaslight），由英格丽·褒曼（Ingrid Bergman）饰演宝拉·阿尔奎斯特（Paula Alquist），查尔斯·博耶（Charles Boyer）饰演高利·安东（Gregory Anton）。两人在一场闪电式恋爱后结婚，而高利·安东实际上是一个心理操纵狂魔。比如，他坚称她对他们伦敦连栋房屋里煤气灯不断变暗的抱怨是她胡思乱想的幻觉。而实际都是高利·安东一手操纵的。

The death of Angela Lansbury in October drove some interest in lookups of the word, Sokolowski said. She played Nancy Oliver, a young maid hired by Gregory and told not to bother his “high-strung” wife.

索科洛夫斯基说，10月份安吉拉·兰斯伯瑞（Angela Lansbury）去世引起了一些人对这个词的兴趣。她扮演南希·奥利弗（Nancy Oliver），是高利·安东雇佣的一名年轻女佣，并被告知不要打扰他“高度紧张”的妻子。

“There is this implication of an intentional deception,” Sokolowski said. “And once one is aware of that deception, it’s not just a straightforward lie, as in, you know, I didn’t eat the cookies in the cookie jar. It’s something that has a little bit more devious quality to it. It has possibly an idea of strategy or a long-term plan.”

“这意味着故意欺骗，”索科洛夫斯基说。“一旦人们意识到这种欺骗，它就不只是一个简单的谎言，就像你知道的，我没有吃饼干罐里的饼干。这是一种更狡猾的东西，其中可能是一种策略或长期计划。”

Merriam-Webster, which logs 100 million pageviews a month on its site, chooses its word of the year based solely on data. Sokolowski and his team weed out evergreen words most commonly looked up to gauge which word received a significant bump over the year before.

韦氏词典网站每月浏览量有1亿次，它完全基于数据来评选年度词汇。索科洛夫斯基和他的团队剔除了最常见的词汇，以衡量哪个单词搜索量比前一年有了显著的增长。

They don’t slice and dice why people look up words, which can be anything from quick spelling and definition checks to some sort of attempt at inspiration or motivation. Some of the droves who looked up “gaslighting” this year might have wanted to know, simply, if it’s one or two words, or whether it’s hyphenated.

他们没有对人们查找单词的原因进行剖析，从快速拼写检查和定义查询到出于某种灵感或动机，都有可能。今年查找“gaslighting”这个词的一些人可能只是想知道，这是一个还是两个单词，或者它是否有连字符。

hyphenated /ˈhaɪ.fən.eɪ.tɪd/ 表示“带有连字符的”，英文解释为“written with a hyphen”如：hyphenated compounds 带连字符的复合词。
