The 115-year-old prestigious Oxford Dictionary will now include popular new Chinese terms like “shanzhai” “youtiao” and “fangnu”, as part of the modern Chinese language.
As China plays a more and more important role in the world economy, the Chinese language is forever evolving, attracting more attention from people who want to understand this ancient yet vibrant（充满生气的）language.
For instance, the word “shanzhai” is used to describe the countless knockoffs（名牌仿制品） of iPhones or designer bags imprinted with Louis Vuitton logos.
Another new term in the new edition is the word “fangnu”, or a “mortgage （按揭） slave” —a term used to describe the phenomenon in large cities whereby well-educated youth complain of a miserable existence due to the heavy burden of a home mortgage.
All these new or often fashionable terms can be found in the new Oxford English-Chinese, Chinese-English Dictionary that was unveiled in the recently concluded Beijing International Book Fair last week.
The dictionary now is available for retail sales since the beginning of this month. This dictionary is the largest single volume English-Chinese, Chinese-English dictionary and contains 670,000 words and phrases after five years of preparation. Sixty editors from the Oxford University Press and its partner in China—the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press—worked together on the project. According to Julie Kleeman, the dictionary’s chief editor, most of the firm’s editors were Chinese, while about one fourth were native-English speakers.
“We don’t want to make it florid（绚丽的）, we want it to be modern and conversational... many of the words in the present dictionary are no longer in use,” said Kleeman. “The need for studying Chinese by foreigners today is totally different from decades ago… Precise, native and practical—that is our core advantage,” she said.
Kleeman said newer publications updates will be available only for the online version as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep pace. The online version will also offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide. The online version, allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPad, will be ready “as soon as possible”, Kleeman said.
61．According to Kleeman, one of the features that distinguish Oxford English from other dictionaries is that ________．
A．it has a long history of 115 years
B．it includes ancient but vibrant language
C．it is the largest English dictionary ever published
D．it offers native, precise and practical language
62．According to the above passage, we learn that ________．
A．well-educated youth in China’s big cities have difficulty buying houses
B．the Oxford University Press made the dictionary without outside aid
C．most Chinese editors are also native speakers of English
D．knockoffs can be found in China but not very often
63．The possible reason why newer publications updates are not available for book versions is that ________．
A．the computer network is available everywhere
B．book versions can’t keep up with the changes of language
C．book versions can’t offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide
D．computer technology like the PC and the iPad keeps pace with language
