伊万卡“不知道”但寡姐知道的热词你知道吗？（视频）
话说特朗普一家，永远是话题不断，新闻多多。
刚过去的这个周末，相信大家都看过这个热门视频了。

特朗普的外孙女，伊万卡的女儿阿拉贝拉为习近平和彭丽媛演唱了中文歌曲《茉莉花》，还背诵了唐代诗人李白的《望庐山瀑布》。
有人笑言：再有背景的小孩儿也难逃被家长喊出来表演节目的命运……
也有人夸奖：中文水平杠杠的，这才是实力抢镜！
假如我们把时间倒回到两个月前，在中国驻美国大使馆举办的春节庆祝活动上，携女出席的伊万卡就曾说过，女儿是她的中文翻译。
01
一个热词
小小年纪，女儿的中文就这么棒，作为妈妈的伊万卡当然骄傲啦。
不过，伊万卡本人却因为“不知道”一个英文词儿，引发了一个新话题。

近日，在接受美国 CBS News 的专访时，伊万卡遭遇了一个尖锐问题：
你们夫妻二人都被指责为白宫的“同谋”，你如何回应？
Gayle King
I’ve read articles saying you are complicit-- that Jared and Ivanka are complicit in what is happening to the White House. Can you just weigh in on how you feel about that? There’ve been articles. There’ve been parodies. What do you think about that-- that accusation?
Ivanka Trump
If being complicit is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I’m complicit. I don’t know that the critics who may say that of me, if they found themselves in this very unique and unprecedented situation that I am now in, would do any differently than I’m doing. So I hope to make a positive impact. I don’t know what it means to be-- complicit-- but-- but, you know, I hope time will prove that I have-- done a good job and much more importantly, that my father’s administration is the success that I know it will be.
伊万卡说了那么多，大家似乎就记住了一句话
“I don’t know what it means to be complicit...”
如今的美国第一女儿，昔日的名校高材生，毕业于沃顿商学院的伊万卡不知道这个词啥意思？
著名的韦氏词典接连发了两条推文：
Complicit 上了热搜。
Complicit 成为我们的热搜第一名。
各家媒体也迅速跟进：

两上热搜
其实，早在今年3月，complicit 一词就已经上过热搜榜啦。
Scarlett Johansson played a very convincing Ivanka Trump in a parody ad for a perfume called Complicit when she hosted Saturday Night Live on March 11.
parody n. 恶搞；拙劣的模仿
当时，寡姐斯嘉丽·约翰逊扮成伊万卡·特朗普，拍摄了一条恶搞广告。
广告语是“She's beautiful... she's powerful... she's complicit...”

这个视频出自3月11日播出的美国政治讽刺脱口秀《周六夜现场》（SNL）。
视频文案则把伊万卡形容成“唯一可以阻止一切（或指影响特朗普），但绝不会那么做的人”。
还没完，最近，寡姐又在公开场合批评伊万卡，也是 rio 耿直。
伊万卡在CBS专访中表示，自己会默默施加影响，而不是事事都大声说出来。
第二天，斯嘉丽 约翰逊就对于伊万卡的言论表示很失望。
Ivanka Trump
I don’t think that it will make me a more effective advocate to constantly articulate every issue publicly where I disagree … And that’s okay. That means that I’ll take hits from some critics who say that I should take to the street. And then other people will in the long-term respect where I get to. But I think most of the impact I have, over time most people will not actually know about.
Scarlet Johansson
If you take a job as a public advocate, then you must advocate publicly, right?
“每一个伟大男人的身后都有一位伟大的女人”？这是不是太老套啦！为什么不能站在他的前面或者他旁边？
寡姐怼人，不仅是 complicit，连 cowardly 都用上了。
当“女神”正面杠上“女神”，场面竟如此火爆。
03
干货来啦
一个两度登上热搜榜的英语单词，你值得拥有。
跟随大家的学（ba）习（gua）热情，我们也来查一查这个词啥意思吧。
韦氏词典
Definition of complicit: helping to commit a crime or do wrong in some way
例句：He was complicit in the cover-up.
牛津词典
Definition of complicit: Involved with others in an activity that is unlawful or morally wrong.
例句：Search engines and advertisers have become complicit in the same self-delusion.
韦氏词典和牛津词典对于这个单词的起源时间有不同的解释，前者将其确定为19世纪中叶，而后者则认为 complicit 最早在20世纪40年代出现。
但是，两者对于其起源的认定却基本一致，都认为 complicit 一词源自 complicity。
Trend Watch
Complicit is thought to be a back-formation taken from the older complicity (“association or participation in or as if in a wrongful act”).
此处涉及两个知识点：一是单词“complicity”，二是构词法“back-formation”。
牛津词典
Definition of complicity: The fact or condition of being involved with others in an activity that is unlawful or morally wrong.
例句：Those three defendants are to face charges of kidnapping and complicity.
back-formation
逆构词法 a word formed by shortening an existing, and longer, word
举例：Verb "edit" from "editor" 先有名词“编辑/小编”，后有动词“编辑”。
最后，问题来了，complict 一词有人翻译成“同谋”，有人翻译成“串通一气”，你们觉得还有什么别的译法吗？
