OED senior editor Fiona McPherson says vax was an obvious choice as it has made "the most striking impact".《牛津英语词典》高级编辑菲奥娜·麦克弗森称,“VAX”是最合适的选择,因为这个词的“影响是最大的”。
"It goes back at least to the 1980s, but according to our corpus it was rarely used until this year," she said.她说:“Vax至少可以追溯到20世纪80年代,但根据我们的语料库,直到今年人们才开始大量使用它。”
"When you add to that its versatility in forming other words, it became clear that vax was the standout in the crowd."“再加上vax还能组成很多词汇,显然它就在众多词汇中脱颖而出了。”
Vax and vaxx are both accepted spellings but the form with one x is more common.Vax和vaxx这两种拼写都可以使用,但vax更常见。
