A shaking head, new heart colors and a familiar goose are among a new group of emojis set to be released this year.
摇头脸、新颜色的爱心、看着很眼熟的鹅……这些都是今年即将上线的新表情符号。 Unicode Consortium's list contains only 31 new emojis, which expand what can be said through pictures and symbols in text and online messages. 统一码联盟发布的这组新表情符号只有31个，这些表情符号可以通过图案和象征符号表达出短信和在线留言的言外之意。
This is a much smaller release than last year's 112 emojis. The succinct release has been met with a mostly positive response online. 这次发布的表情符号数量远远少于去年的112个，虽然数量少，但是这组表情符号在网上得到大量网友的正面反馈。
其中，关注度比较高的一个表情是“摇头脸”。
"It is most likely going to be used when we are metaphorically or physically shook," he said. "But a lot of the rationale behind this has been - how can we convey what happens to a person when they're undergoing the experience of being in an earthquake?
他说：“当我们真的在摇头或心里想摇头的时候最有可能使用这一表情符号。但是我们收入这个符号的背后还有很多依据，比如，我们要如何传达一个人遭遇地震的状态呢？” "It's also quite a common visual cue in comic books and cartoons, where people shake their heads so rapidly because they're shocked or flabbergasted." “摇头在漫画书和动画片中也是一种很常用的视觉提示，漫画和动画人物会因为震惊或目瞪口呆而快速摇头。”
flabbergasted /ˈflæbəɡɑːstɪd/：目瞪口呆
另外一个讨论度较高的表情是一只“呆头鹅”。网友觉得这只鹅很像一款热门游戏中四处捣乱的鹅。
The inclusion of the goose emoji has drawn comparisons to indie gaming hit Untitled Goose Game, which sees players take control of a horrible goose.
新增的鹅表情符号让人联想起热门独立游戏《鹅作剧》，玩家在游戏中要操控一只可怕的大鹅。 He added that their designer probably took "healthy inspiration" from the goose video game for the relevant emoji - but it has meaning beyond that. 布罗尼补充道，表情符号设计师很可能从《鹅作剧》游戏中汲取了“健康的灵感”，从而设计出了相关的表情符号，但是这只鹅的含义绝不止于此。
但布罗尼觉得这只鹅可以表达“呆头鹅”（silly goose）这个习语。
"How can we forget the English idiom 'silly goose'? Through the emoji, that English language idiom becomes a piece of knowledge that can be represented across cultures," he said. “我们怎么能忘记英语习语中的‘呆头鹅’呢？通过这个表情符号，这个习语得以在跨文化交流中进行传达。”
The chosen emojis are selected by Unicode Consortium, a non-profit organisation based in California.
The emojis will go through a final round of approval in September before they are released.
Emoji reference website Emojipedia said while some emojis may not make the final version, most that reach this stage are confirmed.
