Oxford Dictionaries Online 二月發佈的新詞 (之六：完結篇)

Oxford Dictionaries Online《線上牛津詞典》二月底公布了一批新詞，數量有 30 個。由於我是訂戶，能夠看到更為詳盡的資料，因此把它整理出來，並採取了詞典學 (lexicography) 上類似 "半雙解" (semi-bilingual) 的作法，只提供詞目 (headword) 的翻譯對應詞 (translation equivalent)，在此分批貼出。

這些翻譯對應詞，都是我參考現有資料、自己斟酌推敲的。一己之管見，難免失準，若有高見，歡迎賜教。以下是第六批的 5 個新詞。

這是這批二月份新詞的最後 5 個，下一批可能要等到年中。Stay tuned!
