英文释义

专有名词
  1. An accent and variety of the English language spoken by researchers living on the continent of Antarctica, being a mixture of their native languages and neologisms for concepts relating to the continent and daily life, such as the types and characteristics of ice, equipment and routine.
    — We are likely to consider Antarctic English as an occupational variety of general English rather than a new regional variety, mainly because men go to work in the Antarctic for a period, intending to return. They are not settlers.
