《柯林斯英语词典》公布的年度词汇是Permacrisis: Collins Dictionary names its word of the year（长期危机）。 “permacrisis”是一个混成词，由两个英文单词“permanent”（永久的）和“crisis”（危机）结合而成，意为“长期的不稳定和不安全”(an extended period of instability and insecurity) 官方定义: "a term that perfectly embodies the dizzying sense of lurching from one unprecedented event to another, as we wonder bleakly what new horrors might be around the corner."(这个词完美展现了在一件前所未有的大事发生以后又迎来另外一件而带来的眩晕感，因为我们都沮丧不安，又想知道接下来又会发生些什么不好的事情)它强调了英国和全球持续面临的危机，如政治不稳定、军事冲突、气候变化、生活成本高企，“它十分简洁地概括了2022年对许多人来说有多么糟糕(it sums up quite succinctly how truly awful 2022 has been for so many people)。 柯林斯学习公司董事总经理亚历克斯·比克罗夫特（Alex Beecroft）表示， “Language can be a mirror to what is going on in society and the wider world and this year has thrown up challenge after challenge.“It is understandable that people may feel, after living through upheaval caused by Brexit, the pandemic, severe weather, the war in Ukraine, political instability, the energy squeeze and the cost-of-living crisis, that we are living in an ongoing state of uncertainty and worry.”(语言可以反映社会和广阔世界中正在发生的事情，而今年，挑战一个接一个。人们在经历了英国脱欧的后续震荡、新冠肺炎疫情、极端天气、政治动荡、欧洲能源短缺、生活成本危机后，感觉自己生活在持续的不确定和担忧状态中) “Our list this year reflects the state of the world right now – not much good news, although, with the determination of the Ukrainian people reflected by the inclusion of “Kyiv”, and the dawn of the new “Carolean” age in the UK, there are rays of hope.”(我们今年的榜单反映了当今世界的现状——没有太多好消息，不过，随着乌克兰人民的决心被列入“基辅”，以及英国新“卡罗尔”时代的曙光，我们看到了希望之光) |
