Question

【題目】

China’s new hot word, tuhao, may be in next year’s Oxford English Dictionary.

In Chinese, tu means rude and hao means rich. In recent years, people use this term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable way. The word became more popular with the newest Apple’s gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China’s rich people. The color became known as “tuhaogold”. The word is now often used to refer to people who have the cash but lack taste.

There are two other Chinese hot words: dama and NoZuoNoDie, which may also be taken in the dictionary. Dama, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal. Thousands of Chinese women were buying a large amount of gold when the gold price had gone down. Another phrase NoZuoNoDie means if you don’t do stupid things, they won’t come back to bite you, is also very popular. Other words, such as Maotai, Chinglish and "dimsum " have also been included in the dictionary.

“Words like dama and tuhao are so vivid. My friends and I use them a lot—it’s so much fun,” said an American student who studies in Beijing.

BBC World News recently made a special program called “Tuhao, let’s be friends!” “The frequent use of Chinglish by foreign media suggests that foreign people are looking more to the lifestyle and popular culture of China,” says Zhang Yiwu, professor of Peking University.

What does this trend suggest about the Chinese language's influence?

Xing Hongbing, professor from Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) said “These show that Chinglish is now being accepted by the rest of the world and they play important roles in daily life of Chinese. Behind these Chinglish words and phrases is the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people from other countries to understand what's happening in China.”
