"ObamaVision" -- the term coined by the media to sum up President Barack Obama's pledge to bring hope and change to America -- was on Wednesday deemed the most influential English word from television in 2009. "ObamaVision" was first heard during last year's U.S. presidential election campaign. It topped "financial meltdown" in the 6th annual list of Top 10 Telewords compiled by U.S. tracking group, the Global Language Monitor. "Michael Jackson" whose death in June triggered days of wall-to-wall news coverage, and "Susan Boyle" -- the British singer who became an overnight sensation after appearing on a televised talent show -- came third and fourth. The Texas-based Global Language Monitor uses an algorithm to search printed and electronic media and the Internet for trends in word usage and their impact on culture. It issues its Top 10 Telewords to coincide with the official start of the U.S. television season in late September. The 2009 list recognized a website for the first time this year, putting Hulu.com in 5th place. Hulu.com, a joint venture between NBC Universal, Fox Entertainment Group and ABC Inc, was launched in 2008 and streams TV shows over the Internet for free. The Top 10 Telewords of 2009 are: 1) ObamaVision 2) Financial Meltdown 3) Michael Jackson 4) Susan Boyle 5) Hulu.com 6) Vampires 7) Dar Dour (The Iraqi TV show spoof) 8) Wizards 9) "And that's the way it is," (the signoff of late U.S. news anchor Walter Cronkite) 10) Jiggle 點擊查看更多雙語新聞

Vocabulary: wall-to-wall: found everywhere or including everything; pervasive 無處不在的，大量的 television season: 電視季，是美國商業(yè)電視臺運作的一個成熟的規(guī)律，即電視臺按照不同時期觀眾收視習(xí)慣的變化，以收視波動劃分出電視播映季節(jié)。有研究者把美國全年電視播出時段劃分為四個時期：1、秋季首映期(每年9月份到12月份)，這段時期主要是對一些新節(jié)目和新劇集進行測試；2、關(guān)鍵編排期(每年的12月底至1月底)，這期間會根據(jù)廣告的多少決定新節(jié)目的去留；3、旺季播出期(每年的2月份到5月份)，嚴寒和假期形成了一個收視高峰期，大量的新節(jié)目開始播出，系列劇的大結(jié)局一般會安排在5月播出，同步宣傳下一季新節(jié)目；4、夏季重播期(每年6月份到8月份)，這一時期美國人大多外出度假，一般只是重播節(jié)目。 signoff:停止廣播；播報完畢 Walter Cronkite: 沃爾特?克朗凱特（1916-2009）,哥倫比亞廣播公司（CBS）金牌新聞主播，美國電視新聞的標桿人物，被譽為“美國最受信賴的人”。 |
