有无(yi)数(ge)朋友提醒我,前面我推送的消息里 Wiktionary 是不是拼错了,难道不应该是 Wikitionary 吗?
嘿,终于让我等到了。 - Wikipedia = Wiki + encyclopedia
- Wiktionary = Wiki + dictionary
Google “Wikitionary” (注意加上英文引号),会发现,相当多的人都把 Wiktionary 错误地拼写为 Wikitionary ,不过没有找到相关资料,解释为什么当初要命名为 Wiktionary 而非 Wikitionary ,估计后者连续出现 i ,看着太扎眼了。 英汉大词典(第 2 版)wi·ki /ˈwɪkɪ/
n 维基(一种允许任何用户编辑网站内容的软件)
[< Wikipedia,一免费网络百科全书名] 剑桥高阶英汉双解词典wiki
noun C /ˈwɪ.ki/
■ a website which allows users to add, delete (= get rid of) and edit (= change) the contents, or the program that makes this possible 维基(指由网民自由添加、删除、编辑、解释词条内容的网络百科全书)
• Wikipedia is thought to be the world’s largest wiki with more than 280,000 articles.维基百科拥有超过28万个词条,被视为世上最大的网络百科。
很奇怪的是,目前几乎没有综合性的英语词典,将 Wikipedia 单独收录为词条,在 oed.com、Dictionary.com、collinsdictionary.com 上搜 Wikipedia ,居然没有结果。 不过学习型词典两巨头,先收录了。 LDOCE6Wik·i·pe·di·a /ˌwɪkɪˈpiːdiə/ trademark

注意,OALD9 的 Wikipedia 条,带了 ™ ,意思是 trademark 商标。Wikipedia 是 free 的,但是这串字符,是商标,是受版权法保护的。 Wikipedia® is a registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization.
