Local tyrants are expected to be included in the Oxford Dictionary in 20 14.

On October 3rd, 2065438+0165438+/KLOC-0, Julie Keliman, the bilingual dictionary project manager of Oxford University Press, said that "tuhao" has not been officially included in the Oxford English Dictionary for the time being, but "tuhao", "dama" and "hukou".

People have two different attitudes towards the possibility of the word "local tyrant" being included in the Oxford English Dictionary. "Pride" believes that this is a manifestation of China's growing influence in the world and an important opportunity for China's cultural output; The "alarmist" thinks that the word itself is derogatory or ironic, which is detrimental to the image of China people. In fact, whether it is "pride" or "worry", it is not worth taking. People should treat them with a normal mind, and academic circles should pay attention to and study them with new eyes. Professor Zhou Haizhong, a famous scholar, believes that Chinese words in English are the inevitable product of Sino-British contact and the inevitable result of the integration of Chinese and Western cultures. With the increasing communication between the Chinese nation and English-speaking countries, there will be more and more English words from Chinese.
