占领

　　2011年10月，全世界都沉浸在苹果公司联合创始人，拥有非凡影响力的科技天才史蒂夫·乔布斯逝世的悲痛之中。因此，他的名字也成为了2011年最受关注的人名，把奥巴马和卡扎菲远远地甩在了后头。

阿拉伯之春

皇家婚礼

　　Royal Wedding 皇家婚礼

　　The Royal Wedding of Kate Middleton to Prince William, eldest son of the Prince of Wales and Princess Diana was of course the event of the year that made the world stand still. No surprise that it came 2nd in the 'phrase of the year' ranking。

　　The Seal Team 6, that ended Osama' Bin Laden's life, was, along with Bin Laden, the second highest ranking word under the 'name' category in 2011. So much so that the question as to who changed the world more, Al-qaeda or Steve Jobs, has been bandied around。

　　击杀了本·拉登的美国特种部队海豹6队和本·拉登一起登上了2011最受关注的人名第二名的位置。人们因此也展开了基地组织和乔布斯谁改变了世界更多的讨论。

气候变化

　　Climate change 气候变化

　　Climate Change was the number one phrase for the first decade of the 21st century and, although for 2011 it ranks 4th on the top phrases list, it still resonates in its second decade. This picture highlights the plight of bearded seals. They are at risk due to the global warming /climate change in the Arctic as they are dependent on sea ice to breed。

　　气候变化是21世纪头十年最热短语，虽然今年只排到了第四位，但其影响力仍然会在第二个十年里展现出来。这张照片反映出了髯海豹的困境，由于全球气候变暖，北极的海冰开始融化，而髯海豹们正是靠着这些海冰才得以繁衍。

凯特•米德尔顿

　　Kate Middleton 凯特•米德尔顿

　　Prince William's bride has captivated the world for so many reasons. She's a commoner who married royalty, she nods to fashion but with a totally appropriate sartorial stance. She continues to hold everyone's attention in her capacity as the Duchess of Cambridge。

　　作为威廉王子的新娘，凯特就有很多理由可以吸引全世界的目光。她以平民身份嫁入皇室，她紧跟潮流又有着独特的审美品位。在她成为剑桥公爵夫人之后，她的能力将继续吸引人们的注意。

福岛

　　Fukushima was the epicenter of the Japanese Triple Disaster (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown). It ranked number 3 on the top names for 2011.

卡扎菲

　　Muamar Gaddafi 穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲

　　2011年见证了利比亚强人，统治了利比亚长达40多年的穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲的倒台和被杀。卡扎菲也因此名列2011最受关注名字第七名。

大萧条

　　The Great Recession 大萧条

　　Unsurprisingly, 'The Great Recession' made the list (number 5) of most used phrases in 2011. Despite being technically over, this term can still be heard to describe the on-going global economic restructure。

　　“大萧条”成为本年度最受关注短语第五名，谁也不会感到奇怪。尽管学术上地专指不同，这个词汇仍然被广泛用来形容正在发生的全球经济转型。
