摘要
h·g·威尔斯、罗伯特·海因莱因和艾萨克·阿西莫夫等未来主义作家为不断变化的世界提供了丰富的新词。科幻小说的作者想象未来的社会有许多需要命名的神奇元素。随着当代生活赶上了他们想象中的版本,我们不断地利用科幻小说中出现的新词来命名新现象。像robot, grok, karass, countdown, space cadet,试管婴儿,pod person, Stepford, Cyberspace等等,在作为一个整体加入语言之前,它们首先出现在未来主义小说的页面上。
Futuristic writers like H. G. Wells, Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov have been an unusually fruitful source of new words needed for a changing world. Authors of science fiction imagine future societies with lots of conjured elements that need names. As contemporary life catches up with their imagined versions, we continually tap neologisms that have appeared in science fiction to name new phenomena. Terms such as robot, grok, karass, countdown, space cadet, test tube baby, pod person, Stepford, Cyberspace, and many more first appeared on the pages of futuristic fiction before joining the language as a whole.
