  主旨大意题

  A

  (2017·安徽安庆二模)

  Chinas new term,tuhao,may be in next years Oxford English Dictionary.The word caught the attention of the dictionarys editing team after BBCs recent program on influential Chinese words.“If its influence continues,it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,”said Julie Kleeman,project manager with the editing team.

  In Chinese tu means uncouth(粗鲁的) and hao means rich.It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in Chinas countryside.The word became more popular in September with the launch of Apples new gold-colored iPhone,which is loved by Chinas rich people.The color became known astuhao gold”.The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it.Kleeman also mentioned two other Chinese wordsdama and hukouwhich may also make it into the dictionary.

  People can have an intuitive(直觉的) grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin,Kleeman said,adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.

  “We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary,”she said.Some of them are:guanxi,which meansconnection”;taikonaut,a mix of taikong,meaning outer space,and astronaut.

  The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive.The online version is also renewed every three months.“It at least broke our old rules.It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep pace with the time,” according to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson.
