cardboard box index

(名詞/可數，通常單數) 紙箱指數 － 一種衡量經濟健康狀況的方法，根據紙箱的生產或運送數量來判斷，因為紙箱廣泛用於包裝人們購買的商品。

引句：
The cardboard box index is a tracker that provides a different angle on supply chain data. Drops in cardboard shipments often precede slowdowns in manufacturing, retail, and e-commerce. It tanked in the 2008 crash and flagged early weakness in late 2022.
[Hot Topics, linkedin.com, 2 June 2025]

紙箱指數是一種追蹤指標，從不同角度觀察供應鏈數據。紙箱出貨量的下降通常預示著製造業、零售業和電子商務的放緩。這項指數在 2008 年金融危機期間大幅下滑，也在 2022 年底率先顯示出經濟疲弱的跡象。

career catfishing

(名詞/不可數) 職涯釣魚詐騙 － 指的是接受工作聘用後，卻在第一天上班時未出現，之後也都未曾報到的行為。

引句：
“Career catfishing” — the trend of job seekers accepting a job and refusing to show up on the first day — is a reflection of simmering gripes from a new generation of workers. It’s one way Gen Z tries to take back power in their professional lives, but it’s also a sign of a deeper and growing divide between big business and the younger generation.
[forbes.com, 2 February 2025]

所謂的「職涯釣魚詐騙」——這種求職者接受工作機會後卻拒絕在第一天報到的趨勢——反映了新一代勞工長期以來的不滿情緒。這是 Z 世代試圖在職涯中重新掌握主導權的一種方式，但同時也揭示了企業與年輕世代之間日益擴大的隔閡。

Factors range from bird flu outbreaks to rising production costs, but while some nations are grappling with a full-blown egg affordability crisis, others are getting off relatively lightly.
[lovemoney.com, 20 March 2025]

所謂的「蛋價膨脹」（eggflation）現象正在迅速升溫——雞蛋這項早餐與烘焙必備食材的價格上漲幅度高達 15%，甚至創下歷史新高。造成這種情況的因素包括禽流感爆發、生產成本上升等。雖然有些國家正面臨雞蛋負擔能力的重大危機，但也有部分國家受到的影響較小。

Frankenshoe

(名詞/可數) 混血球鞋 － 將兩種或兩種以上風格截然不同的鞋款結合在一起的鞋子。

引句：
Nowadays, though, Frankenshoes have gotten even weirder. There are sneakers turned into dress shoes and dress shoes turned into sneakers.

Whether you like them or not, they’re still being released, still being discussed and, crucially, bought.

naked quitting

(名詞/不可數) 裸辭 － 在沒有找到下一份工作的情況下，直接辭掉現在的工作。

引句：
Naked quitting is essentially telling your boss to shove it without having another gig lined up. It's like jumping out of a plane without a parachute, except instead of plummeting to your doom, you're free-falling into unemployment. Young Chinese workers, fed up with relentless workloads and diminishing returns, coined the term "naked quitting" on social media, and it spread faster than office gossip.
[pedestrian.tv, 23 August 2024]

裸辭本質上就是告訴你的老闆趕快讓你辭職，不要再安排其他工作給你。這就像不帶降落傘就從飛機上跳下來，只不過你不是直線墜落，而是自由落體地陷入失業。中國的年輕員工不堪忍受無止盡的工作壓力和越來越少的回報，在社群媒體上創造了「裸辭」一詞，其傳播速度比辦公室八卦還快。

meme coin

(名詞/可數) 迷因幣 － 一種基於網路迷因或其他線上流行趨勢而創造的加密貨幣，通常是為了娛樂而不是為了投資價值而創建的。

引句：
Welcome to the $100 billion market for meme coins, crypto's wildest — and dumbest — moneymaking craze. Nearly 13 million coins have already been created in 2024. The best-known meme coin, Dogecoin — inspired by a Shiba Inu dog — is the sixth-most-valuable cryptocurrency in the world. But it's not for the faint of heart: Meme coins have no intrinsic value, an incredibly short shelf life, and are even more volatile than bitcoin.
[forbes.com, 13 November 2024]

歡迎來到迷因幣的千億美元市場 — 這是加密貨幣世界中最狂野，也最愚蠢的賺錢熱潮。僅在 2024 年，就已經創建了將近 1300 萬種迷因幣，其中最知名的迷因幣 Dogecoin (狗狗幣)，靈感來自柴犬迷因，現為全球第六大加密貨幣。
然而，迷因幣並不適合膽小的人：它們沒有內在價值，壽命極為短暫，而且比比特幣更加波動。

unbossing

(名詞/不可數) 去主管化 － 公司中減少管理人員數量的作法，尤其是減少那些擔任中階管理職務的人員。

引句：
A new workplace trend is becoming all the rage, and it isn't just more summer Fridays or all-inclusive work resorts. Thinning out middle management layers, also known as "unbossing," is the latest restructuring option of choice for major U.S. companies, including Bayer, Salesforce, Citigroup and Meta. That's because, although middle management can improve a company's organization, cutting down on unnecessary management layers has several benefits.
[forbes.com, 6 August 2024]

一種新的工作場所趨勢正在風靡一時，而這不僅僅是更多的夏季星期五或包羅萬象的工作度假村。精簡中階管理階層 (也稱為「去主管化」) 是拜耳、Salesforce、花旗集團和 Meta 等美國大公司選擇的最新重組方案。這是因為，雖然中階管理人員可以改善公司的組織，但減少不必要的管理階層卻有數個好處。

real zero

(名詞/單數型) 真正的零；真零 － 一個國家、產業、公司等完全停止產生溫室氣體排放的時間點。

引句：
Chairman Andrew Forrest has made it clear that Fortescue's ultimate goal is to achieve "real zero" by eliminating all Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from its iron ore mining operations by 2030. This is distinct from "net zero," where companies can rely on carbon offsets to balance out hard-to-abate or unavoidable emissions.
[carboncredits.com, 11 October 2024]

董事長安德魯‧福雷斯特 (Andrew Forrest) 已明確表示，Fortescue 的最終目標是到 2030 年消除鐵礦石開採作業中的所有範圍1 和範圍2 排放，以達到「真正的零 (排放)；真零 (排放)」。這與「淨零 (排放)」不同；就淨零 (排放) 而言，企業可以仰賴碳抵銷來平衡難以減少或不可避免的排放。

neurocosmetics

(名詞/複數型) 神經化妝品 － 含有會經由皮膚影響神經系統和大腦之成分的護膚和美容產品。

引句：
Neurocosmetics, a concept rooted in the idea that the brain and skin are intrinsically linked, are products formulated to play off that connection. The brands creating neurocosmetics claim that certain ingredients can commune with neuroreceptors (also called neurotransmitters) in the skin, like a text message thread between the brain and the skin.
[allure.com, 30 May 2024]

神經化妝品這個概念植根於大腦和皮膚具有本質上密切聯繫的概念，是為發揮這種聯繫而配製的產品。創造神經化妝品的品牌聲稱某些成分可以與皮膚中的神經受體 (也稱為神經傳導物質) 進行交流，就像大腦和皮膚之間的簡訊線程一樣。
