Google: The most searched for questions and phrases of 2019 revealed

BBC

Game of Thrones, Caitlyn Jenner, the Rugby World Cup, what is Area 51, how to eat a pineapple and what is a dead ting?

These are some of the top phrases and questions you searched for on Google in 2019.

The Rugby World Cup - which South Africa won after beating England in the final - topped the list of overall trending searches in the UK, according to the search engine.

"What is Area 51?" and "How to pronounce psalm" were among the top questions you had this year.

trend

trend意思是“趋势，走向，时尚”，比如trending hashtags/或者说a trending topic，可以指微博上的“热门话题”；类似的，Youtube首页上的Trending对应的中文就处理为“时下流行”。

dead ting

查了一下，发现是来自英国真人秀节目《Love Island》（类似于中国版《心动的信号》）里的一个热词，节目中嘉宾Amber称另一位嘉宾Joanna为“dead ting”，具体什么含义？

根据Urban Dictionary，dead ting被定义为“A person who is boring and is extremely dull.”大概就是形容一个人非常无聊。到底什么意思，还是得问问嘉宾Amber：

In the last explosive episode of the reality TV show, Amber was heard calling Joanna, who has coupled up with her ex Michael, a ‘dead ting’.

On Wednesday night, Amber seemed to keep using the term in reference to Joanna's looks. So viewers were confused when Amber claimed: "Dead ting can mean a variety of things. "It doesn't necessarily mean I was commenting on your looks. I thought the way you handled that situation, you had every opportunity to speak and you didn't. I was irritated after that."

反正，就是有点“看你不爽”？你就是dead ting.

Area 51

Area 51，51区，美国内华达州南部林肯郡一个机密区域。Area 51 is the common name of a highly classified United States Air Force (USAF) facility located within the Nevada Test and Training Range. The facility is officially called Homey Airport (KXTA) or Groom Lake, named after the salt flat situated next to its airfield. Details of the facility's operations are not publicly known. （Wikipedia）

For those wondering, Area 51 is a top secret US air force base which some people believe is home to aliens.

In July, the US Air Force warned people not to go near the area after a million people RSVP'd to an event on Facebook called "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us".

Psalm is the name of Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye West's fourth child who was born in May. It's pronounced "salm" - the P is silent.

psalm

psalm /sɑːm/ 本义表示“(《圣经》中的)《诗篇》”，英文解释为“The Psalms are the 150 songs, poems, and prayers that together form the Book of Psalms in the Bible.”

金·卡戴珊的第4个儿子起名为：Psalm West，因此人人纷纷去搜索如何发音psalm.

TV, film and sport featured heavily in the list of the UK's top 10 trending queries - the Cricket World Cup, Chernobyl and Avengers Endgame all made the list.

And we all wanted to know a little bit more about Caitlyn Jenner.

She was the most searched for celebrity in the UK - which is likely to be down to her appearance on I'm A Celebrity.... Get Me Out of Here!

注：I'm A Celebrity.... Get Me Out of Here.为英国一档户外真人秀节目。

be down to

表示“由…决定；是…的责任”，英文解释为“to be someone's responsibility or decision”举个🌰：

It's down to me to find a suitable person for the job.

找到合适的人选做这项工作是我的责任。

The public was also interested in how to watch big events and how to take part in politics.

"How to watch the Champions League final" "How to watch KSI vs Logan" and "How to register to vote" were some of the questions asked.

Love Island took the number three spot on the most searched for TV shows - while contestant Tommy Fury was the fourth most searched for celebrity.

The reality TV show was also responsible for the seventh most googled "What is?" question of the year.

People wanted to know "What is a dead ting?" after Love Island winner Amber Gill used it to describe another islander. (It basically means you're boring)
