The term " cancel culture" has become more and more popular over the past few years. Cancel culture is used to describe the idea of removing someone from a certain group or no longer supporting that person publicly because they did something offensive. When this happens, that person is "canceled. " This often happens on social media but can also occur in real life. The idea of canceling someone is nothing new. A 1981 song described breaking up with someone as canceling their love.

「取消文化」一词在过去几年已经变得越来越有名。取消文化是用来描述因为某人做了些冒犯性的事情,故将该人从一个特定群体中排除掉,或是不再公开支持那个人的概念。当此现象发生时,那个人就被「取消」了。此现象通常发生在社群媒体上,但也会发生于现实生活中。取消某个人的概念并非新鲜事。一首 1981 年的歌曲描述与某人分手就是取消他们的爱情。
