A shout of joy, written down. It comes from the Internet and from gaming, and it means something like "yes!" or "we did it!" — the sound a person makes when something good just happened to them.

A shout of joy一聲歡呼, written down寫成文字的樣子。It comes from the Internet and from gaming它源自網路和電玩, and it means something like "yes!" or "we did it!"意思差不多是yes!或we did it! — the sound a person makes when something good just happened to them是一個人遇到好事當下發出的聲音。

You see it alone as a whole message ("Woot!"), or in front of the good news ("Woot, I passed!"). People often stretch it — "woooot" — or write "w00t" with two zeros, which is the older gamer spelling; both are the same word.

You see it alone as a whole message ("Woot!")你會看到它單獨當一整句話出現（Woot!）, or in front of the good news ("Woot, I passed!")或放在好消息前面（Woot, I passed!）。People often stretch it — "woooot"人們常常把它拉長，寫成woooot — or write "w00t" with two zeros或寫成兩個零的w00t, which is the older gamer spelling這是比較舊的電玩玩家寫法; both are the same word兩種都是同一個字。

It is very informal. It belongs in a chat message, a comment, a text to a friend. It does not belong in an email to your boss or in any piece of school writing, and an older person who does not use the Internet much may not know it at all.

It is very informal這個字非常口語隨性。It belongs in a chat message, a comment, a text to a friend適合出現在聊天訊息、留言，或傳給朋友的簡訊裡。It does not belong in an email to your boss or in any piece of school writing不適合出現在寫給老闆的email或任何學校作業裡, and an older person who does not use the Internet much may not know it at all而不常用網路的長輩可能根本不知道這個字。

It is also going a little out of fashion — it was everywhere around 2005-2010, and younger people now are more likely to type "lets gooo" or just a row of emoji. That does not make it wrong; it makes it sound slightly like an older Internet person, the way an old slang word sounds in any language.

It is also going a little out of fashion這個字也漸漸退流行了 — it was everywhere around 2005-2010它在2005到2010年左右到處都是, and younger people now are more likely to type "lets gooo" or just a row of emoji現在年輕人更常打lets gooo或直接一排表情符號。That does not make it wrong這不代表它是錯的; it makes it sound slightly like an older Internet person只是聽起來會有點像老一輩的網路用語, the way an old slang word sounds in any language就像任何語言裡的老派俚語一樣。

One more thing worth knowing: because it is only a noise, it carries no information. "Woot" tells your reader you are happy but not why, so it usually arrives next to the news rather than instead of it.

One more thing worth knowing還有一件事值得知道: because it is only a noise因為它只是個聲音, it carries no information本身不帶任何資訊。"Woot" tells your reader you are happy but not whyWoot只告訴讀者你很開心，但沒說為什麼, so it usually arrives next to the news rather than instead of it所以它通常是搭配消息一起出現，而不是取代消息。
