It may not be a word by the strictest definition - but the emoji commonly known as "face with tears of joy" has been named the "Word" of the Year for 2015 by Oxford1 Dictionaries.

严格意义上来说它不是一个词汇——但为人熟知的“笑cry”表情已经被牛津词典评为2015年度“词汇”。

 
A breakthrough year for the pictograms first spread by texting teens has been marked by the Oxford Dictionaries' recognition for a word or expression that "captures the ethos, mood, or preoccupations of that particular year."
 
The body cited Hillary Clinton soliciting2 feedback in emoji and on-going debates about the skin tone of smiley faces, as evidence that "emoji have come to embody3 a core aspect of living in a digital world that is visually driven, emotionally expressive4, and obsessively5 immediate6."
 
Casper Grathwohl, President of Oxford Dictionaries, said: "You can see how traditional alphabet scripts have been struggling to meet the rapid-fire, visually focused demands of 21st Century communication. It's not surprising that a pictographic script like emoji has stepped in to fill those gaps -- it's flexible, immediate, and infuses tone beautifully.
 
"As a result emoji are becoming an increasingly rich form of communication, one that transcends7 linguistic8 borders. When Andy Murray tweeted out his wedding itinerary9 entirely10 in emoji, for example, he shared a subtle mix of his feelings about the day directly with fans around the world. It was highly effective in expressing his emotions."
