CTOnews.com news on January 11, today's editorial department of "bites words" announced the top ten language errors in 2022, including the misreading of "Li Li Fen" as "zhu", "Lianhua Qingwen" as "Lotus Qingwen", "termination" as "suspension", and so on.

"Top Ten language errors in 2022" covers the major social hotspots of the year. For example, "Lianhua clear plague" is mistaken for "lotus clear plague", the reduction of misuse of "times" involves epidemic prevention and control, "natural gas" mistakenly for "natural gas" involves the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, "live up to expectations" is mistakenly related to "unpopular expectations" related to the World Cup in Qatar, "Queen" is mistakenly referred to as "queen" involving the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and "termination" is mistakenly related to United Nations resolutions demanding that the United States end the blockade against Cuba. The mistake of "shotgun" for "shotgun" involves the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

CTOnews.com attached the Top Ten language errors of 2022:

First, the word "struggle" in "hard work" is misread as "zhu". In 2022, "hard work" frequently appeared in document reports, news media and banners. " The word "zhu hard" is often misread as "chu struggle", and the correct way to pronounce it is "hard work". " Chu "is a polysyllabic and polysemous word: to read the word" jump "means to jump, to go fast, and to extend it to mean to surpass and win far away; to read" zhu "means to stand alone." "Li" refers to exhilaration; "Li Li" describes the spirit of hard work. " "hard work" is often miswritten as "poke force effort". " "poke" refers to stabbing, extending to stimulate and blame; "poking force" doesn't make sense.

Second, "Tianhe core module" is mistaken for "Tianhe core module". In July and November 2022, the Mengtian experimental module and the Mengtian experimental module successively completed the rendezvous and docking with the sky and the core module, forming the basic configuration of "t", and the construction of Tiangong space station took a key step. When the media reports relevant news, they often mistake "Tianhe core module" for "Tianhe core module". The China manned Space Engineering Office once held a space station recruitment event, and the core module was eventually named "Heaven and Harmony". "Heaven and Harmony" originally refers to the principle of natural harmony and harmony between heaven and earth, which fully demonstrates China's concept of peaceful use of space for the benefit of all mankind. "Tianhe" refers to the Milky way.

Third, "Lianhua Qingwen" is mistaken for "Lotus Qingwen". When it comes to epidemic prevention drugs, "Lianhua clear plague" is often mentioned, but it is often mistaken for "lotus clear plague". Among them, the word "Lianhua" refers to Forsythia suspensa and Flos Lonicerae, both of which have the function of clearing away heat and detoxification. "Lianhua Qingwen" does not contain "lotus".

Fourth, reduce the number of misuse of "times". Novel coronavirus continued to iterate, and the researchers found that now the infectivity of the Omicron strain has significantly increased, while the pathogenicity has decreased significantly. When the media reports relevant news, there is often an expression that the virulence of Omicron is 40 times lower than that of the original strain. "drop by 40 times" is obviously inappropriate. When "times" is used after a quantifier, it indicates that the number is increased by the same number as the original number; several times of a certain number is multiplied by a certain number, such as three times of two is six. The quantifier "times" is generally used to increase the number, not to decrease it. If we insist on reducing the number, the double reduction will become zero, how can it be "reduced by 40 times"? The norm should be: drop to 1/40.

Fifth, "natural gas" is mistaken for "natural gas". After the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Russia faces severe sanctions from Western countries, the international energy market is volatile, and the price of natural gas is soaring. In related reports, "natural gas" is often mistaken for "natural gas". Natural gas usually refers to the natural gas produced in oil fields, coalfields and swamps, mainly composed of methane and so on. And "natural gas" can only be understood as a natural combustion gas, which does not exist in the world energy system. In Chinese, there is the word "gas", which refers to the gas used as fuel, and natural gas is gas. "Natural gas" is "gas", but not "natural gas".

6. "live up to expectations" is mistaken for "unpopular expectations". On December 18, 2022, Argentina beat France to win the World Cup final in Qatar. Messi lived up to expectations and led Argentina to the World Cup. When reporting relevant news, some media mistakenly regarded "living up to expectations" as "unpopular". " To live up to "means to fail; to" live up to expectations "means to live up to people's hopes and expectations." Fu "reads f ú, which means convincing. For example," popular popularity "means that the public is very convincing and enjoys high prestige." "unconvincing" means not convincing. "unpopular" can only be understood as not convincing the public and failing to live up to their expectations. This is obviously a far cry from the original intention of praising Messi.

7. "Queen of England" is mistaken for "Queen of England". On September 8, 2022, London time, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Queen Elizabeth II had died at the age of 96. In related reports, many media mistook the "Queen of England" for the "Queen of England". Britain, whose full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, has a constitutional monarchy and its head of state is called the King. Queen Elizabeth II, the eldest daughter of King George VI of England, ascended the throne on February 6, 1952 and was crowned on June 2, 1953. She is the longest-reigning king in England, known as "Queen". "Queen" refers to the female emperor, Britain does not have an emperor, naturally there is no "queen".

8. "termination" is mistaken for "suspension". On November 3, 2022, the 77th United Nations General Assembly again adopted a resolution by an overwhelming majority of 185 to 2, with 2 abstentions, demanding that the United States end the economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba. In related reports, some media mistakenly regard "termination" as "suspension". "termination" means to end or stop completely, while "stop" means that something is not finished and stops halfway. "abort" is still possible to continue. The United Nations asked the United States to "end" the embargo against Cuba in the hope that the United States would "end" its actions rather than let them "stop halfway."

9. "shotgun" is mistaken for "shotgun". On July 8, 2022, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot in the chest while giving a speech in Nara. Several Japanese media quoted police sources as saying that Shinzo Abe had been shot with shotgun. In the relevant Chinese reports, some media mistook "shotgun" for "shotgun". " Graupel "refers to small white opaque ice particles, often spherical or conical." Shotgun "referred to as" shotgun, is a kind of rear-loaded shotgun that can shoot many projectiles (or small arrows) at the target in bunches, and can carry out spray shooting without accurate aim. " Graupel "used to read xi à n, then read it all." Shotgun "cannot be written as" shotgun ".

10. The word "Xin Xun" in "Xin Xun Zi" is misread as "Xin Xue n". "Xin Xue" should be read as "Xinfnshengn", which describes a large number of students; "Shenxun" refers to a large number of students. "Xinfu" is the name of herbal medicine, that is, Asarum, and is also used as a place name, such as Xinzhuang (belonging to Shanghai). "Xin Xue" in "Xin Xue" is often misread as "Xunnxun". In the summer of 2022, a billboard with the words "resentful students with a bright future" in a famous university attracted social attention. "resentful students" is the mistake of "numerous students". Here "Xinqi" was mistaken for "resentful", when it was mistaken in the pronunciation of "Xinyi" and then wrote another word. In addition, "numerous students" is originally a group of many students, and statements such as "this numerous students", "two numerous students" and "many students" are all wrong.
