New vocabulary reflects the new era and new weather

"Nearly a thousand hot words collected in the 4th edition are distributed in all corners of social life, which truly reflects the pace of the times." Li Xingjian, editor -in -chief of the "Modern Chinese Standard Dictionary", introduced the new version of the "Modern Chinese Standard Dictionary 》 Includes more than 12,000 single words, more than 72,000 words, and more than 80,000 examples, which basically reflects the appearance of modern Chinese vocabulary.

"Take the" New Normal "as an example, it reflects the pragmatic, efficient, and innovative economic governance concept of the party and the state." Wang Xiaosong, a professor of the School of Economics of Renmin University of China, believes that the number of new words in the economic field of economic field represents the new Chinese economy. Progress and new advantages reflect the great achievements of the Communist Party of China to lead the people of the country.

In the view of Zhang Yiwu, a professor at the Chinese Department of Peking University, the fourth revision of the "Modern Chinese Standard Dictionary" reflects two major trends. One is the trend of green and low -carbon in economic and social life, and the other is that the Internet profoundly changes people's daily life Essence

In 2010, the "Weibo" and "Low -Carbon Economy" were still fashionable, and the second edition will earn its income. When the revision in 2014, the rapid development of "online shopping" was added.

This revision is the "carbon peak" and "carbon neutralization" of the government work report for the first time in 2021, to the "cloud computing" that cannot be separated from the Internet industry, and then to the "mobile payment" that enters thousands of households. Behind the new words one by one is the magnificent blue ocean--

The national carbon market that was launched on July 16 last year, the cumulative trading volume of carbon emission quotas has been operated in the past year of operation of 194 million tons, with a cumulative transaction value of 8.492 billion yuan;

"The considerable number of new words reflects the new creation and new weather in the new era. The huge changes in 10 years and significant achievements are the source of the new vocabulary." Said Wang Fang, president of the foreign language teaching and research and publishing house of dictionary publishers.

The meaning of the new word shows the people's sense of gain

Language is the product of society. Each word means "new" and reflects the development of society.

For example, "curve overtaking" usually refers to players who have mastered superb skills during the car and have courage to accelerate the opponent in the curve. The new version of the "Modern Chinese Standard Dictionary" includes the new meaning it is now widely used: difficult and risks will be difficult and risks. Turn into opportunities, face difficulties in an extraordinary way, and surpass others.

From new energy vehicles to online consumption, from 5G to high -speed rail, from the sharing economy to artificial intelligence, the daily arguments of the Chinese have proved that "curve overtaking" is not only a metaphor, but also a reality.

The colorful social interaction is also constantly adding new meaning to words and creating new usage methods.

When "spike" and "second light" have been used well, did you "understand" the new meaning of the word "second" "seconds" (referring to a short time (multiple use adverbial) "? When "brushing" and "brushing the screen" become buzzwords, have you "brushed" the breath of the times?

What the people know and think are equally rich in the Chinese world.

"Just need" condensing the basic needs in the market economy. "Slow life" reflects the longing for a better life.

Dictionary revised host Zhang Shiping said that one of the criteria of the words is that it must enter the Chinese life and have a high degree of use in society. "The inclusion of the new words reflects the development of society, and further makes the language richer." Zhang Shiping said.

New style, show national self -confidence

Linguist Lu Shuxiang once proposed that all the "modern" dictionary must keep up with the times and constantly revised. Each revision of the Modern Chinese Standard Dictionary is working hard in this direction.

In the context of emphasizing inheritance and promoting the excellent traditional culture of China in the new era, the new version has added words such as "law is not as expensive", "Qianfu Funfu", "Xiangzi", "Bidao Xiu", and "Laboratory".

Wang Fang said that the excellent traditional culture of China is the root and soul of the Chinese nation. On the one hand, readers can appreciate the profound meaning of Chinese ideological and cultural terms from these words. , Then improve cultural literacy.

In view of the call of strengthening cultural consciousness and self -confidence, this revision, while maintaining the integrity of the Mandarin phonetic, reveals the humanistic feelings of "leaving a sound for the context". For example, the word "Fang" prompts "Read pánɡ in the" Afang Palace "; the word" six "prompts" Used in the place name 'Liu'an' (in Anhui), 'Liuhe' (in Jiangsu), etc., locals read lù " Essence With the improvement of the awareness of the rule of law, the 4th edition changed the "criminals" in the 3rd edition to "person involved"; some of the original interpretation of the law that was not very accurate and accurate. , Also "according to law". The three words like "support", "support" and "support" were revised by the interpretation of the civil code and replaced the example sentences.

"Dictionary reflects the" collective memory 'of the nation. The society is constantly progressing, and the dictionary must be revised and reflected in a timely manner, so that the collective memory of the nation is too slow, and even the' broken film '. "Li Yuming, president of the Chinese Dictionary Society, said," The timely revision of the Modern Chinese Standard Dictionary records the rapid development of society, and maximizes the needs of user inspection. This is the mission of dictionary.
