▌精选导读
1. 后真相政治 (post-truth politics) 是一种政治文化，该词在2016年美国总统选举以及2016年英国去留欧盟公投事件期间被频繁使用。所谓 “后真相”，是指忽视真相、不顾事实的委婉说法。“后真相政治” 即是雄辩胜于事实，人们把情感和感觉放在首位，证据、事实和真相沦为次要 (甚至毫不重要)，政治人物说谎不再是为了瞒骗，而是为了巩固目标群众的偏见，换取共鸣与支持。2016年，《牛津英语词典》宣布 “后真相” (post-truth) 成为年度词汇；
2. 另类右派 (英语：alt-right 或 alternative right) 是美国右派政治思想中反对主流保守主义的一个派别。这一派别总体上并无正式确定的政治理念，但其拥护者多支持2016年大选中的共和党候选人唐纳德·特朗普，赞同其反对外来移民，反对多元文化及反对政治正确的思想；
3. 丹麦文化中的基础元素之一是 "hygge"，指与家人或爱人一同享受幸福时光，通常伴随着诸如品味佳肴或是点一支蜡烛以营造温馨气氛这一类场景。
