Key words: English neologism; word formation; translation; sources; prospect 中文摘要 作为社会发展动态和成果的直接载体，语言的发展必须与之同步。现代社会政治经济的发展、科学技术的进步、频繁的跨文化交流，网络的盛行，大量的英语新词应运而生。英语新词表现了当代西方人的新思想、新生活、新的价值观念，是反映西方社会的多棱镜。英语新词的研究是一项非常重要的工作，具有语言学、文化学、社会学等多方面的意义。研究英语新词不仅有利于研究英语的更新和变化，还有利于促进世界性科技文化交流。 本文针对二战后产生的英语新词，根据国内外对英语新词的研究，首先对“何为新词”给出一个较为明确的定义，重点分析阐述其构词方式和翻译技巧，继而探讨其产生来源，并对其未来发展趋势作出预测。本文的创新点在于指出在未来，英语新词的造词趋向简洁化批量化，而中文亦将对其有着更为重要的影响。 关键词：英语新词；构词；汉译；来源；展望 Chapter 1 Introduction and Definition of Neologisms 1.1 Introduction As the vehicle of communication, language is relatively stable as well as constantly changing.
