This news embiggen s my spirit.
這則新聞讓我極度膨脹。

On Monday, Merriam-Webster, the most social media-savvy dictionary, announced that 850 words had been added to its online dictionary. One of those words is embiggen, which Merriam-Webster defines as "to make bigger or more expansive" and which was invented by The Simpsons writer Dan Greaney in 1996.
周一，韋氏詞典這個(gè)精明媒體字典，宣布在其在線字典新增850詞，其中有一個(gè)詞是“embiggen”意思是變大或者是再擴(kuò)張，該詞來(lái)源于1996年《辛普森一家》的作者Dan Greaney。

It comes from a Season 7 episode called "Lisa the Iconoclast." The episode introduced viewers to the city of Springfield's motto, passed down from its founder Jebediah Springfield: "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."
具體是在《辛普森一家》第七集，名叫“麗莎是個(gè)反傳統(tǒng)的人”。該集向觀眾介紹了，從創(chuàng)立者Jebediah Springfield傳承下的斯普林菲爾德的城市宣言：“高尚的靈魂讓渺小的人變得偉岸?！?/div>

" Embiggens ?" says school teacher Mrs. Krabappel. "I never heard that word before I moved to Springfield."
“偉岸？”學(xué)校的老師Krabappel夫人表示。“在我沒(méi)有搬來(lái)斯普林菲爾德之前，我從來(lái)都沒(méi)有聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)這個(gè)詞?！?/div>

"I don't know why," answers Ms. Hoover. "It's a perfectly cromulent word."
“我也不知道為什么，”Hoover女士回答道，“這也許是一個(gè)看起來(lái)完美的人造詞。”

It's a perfect joke that introduced two words that each entered the lexicon. But for some reason, only embiggen is going in the dictionary at this time. I don't know why cromulent isn't going in; it's a perfectly cromulent word.
這個(gè)是個(gè)完美的笑話，讓兩個(gè)（看似存在，其實(shí)是造出來(lái)）中的一個(gè)進(jìn)入詞條。不知道為什么選中的詞是“embiggen”,而“cromulent”落選了，它也是個(gè)完美人造詞啊。

The Simpsons airs Sundays at 8/7c on Fox.
每周日東部時(shí)間的8點(diǎn)，也就是中部時(shí)間的7點(diǎn)，?？怂股蠒?huì)播放《辛普森一家》。
