Description: 在 TEDYouth 這個有趣、簡短的演說裡，字典編撰師艾琳．麥坎鼓勵、甚至還鼓吹她的聽眾創造新的單字，而當下的其他字典編撰師們是不太會這樣做。她列出六種創造英文新單字方式，從連結到動詞化單字，就是為了使英語在表達我們的想法上做得更棒，以及創造出更多方法讓我們瞭解彼此的想法。

Language is a living collaboration shaped by everyone who speaks it, not just by dictionary editors. English grows stronger and more expressive when people invent new words, whether by borrowing from other languages or blending existing terms. Even playful creations like 'brunch' and 'motel' have become essential. Encouraging word-making fosters creativity and helps ideas connect more powerfully.
