Merriam-Webster's word of the year for 2023 is one that saw an increase in searches this year – in a world where it's sometimes hard to tell what is fake and what is real online. The word they chose for 2023 is "authentic"

韦氏词典》评选的2023年年度词汇今年的搜索量有所增加——人们在质疑世界里的“真实”。所以，2023年选择的词是“真实”。

"Authentic" isn't a new, trendy word like "rizz," which was also considered for word of the year. Merriam-Webster said "authentic" has a high volume of look-ups most years, but it saw a substantial increase in 2023.

"Authentic"”并不像“rizz”那样是个新潮的新词，“rizz”也曾被认为是年度词汇。韦氏词典表示，“authentic”在大多数年份都有很高的查询量，但在2023年出现了大幅增长。

Merriam-Webster also considered "deepfake" for the word of the year.

韦氏词典还将“deepfake”选为年度词汇。

Two major events of 2023 also led to increased look-ups of two words: "implode²" and "indict³."

2023年的两大事件也导致“内爆”(implode)和“起诉”(indict)这两个词的搜索量增加。

A more fun word that almost got word of the year is "EGOT," which is really an acronym⁴ for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony – four very difficult entertainment awards to earn, and yet, some people have earned all four. Viola Davis completed her EGOT in February when she won a Grammy, causing the term to spike⁵ in look-ups.

还有一个更有趣的词“EGOT”差点当选年度词汇，它实际上是艾美奖、格莱美奖(Grammy)、奥斯卡奖和托尼奖的首字母缩写，这四个娱乐奖很难获得，然而，有些人却把这四个奖都拿下了。今年2月，维奥拉·戴维斯(Viola Davis)赢得格莱美奖，完成了她的EGOT，导致这个词的搜索量激增。

入围年度词汇的其他词汇还有:社交媒体平台X，原名Twitter，在埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)完全收购后引起了争议和关注。
