LONDON Men's Nike Shox NZ Black Red Clearance , Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- Chinese buzzwords reflect social changes, which is interesting, but it takes time for them to be accepted by British people and become English glossary, said Julie Kleeman, Project Manager of Bilingual Dictionaries with the Oxford University Press.

"Chinese buzzwords often come to our attention through the media," she told Xinhua in an interview. "In the case of Chinese words that are gaining publicity in the foreign media, obviously some terms such as tuhao and dama tell us something about trends and phenomena in China that mark interesting shifts in society."

Tuhao is used to describe uncouth rich. In fact, this word referring to local tyrant in the past is not new at all Nike Shox Gravity Mens Clearance , but Chinese netizens are using it in a different way, which was explained by the BBC last month.

Chinese dama, or middle aged woman, rose to fame after many of them bought gold when the price was low, as reported by Wall Street Journal this past August.

Kleeman noted that they are considering to include these words in the Oxford Dictionaries Online. "Our English language experts ... would need to see evidence of it in use across a range of English media, over the course of a period of time," she said.

Media is not the only source for them to keep up with the changes of Chinese buzzwords.

"Recently we also established a relationship with the Education Centre at Peking University who track and analyse new Chinese words on a daily basis," she said.

To date Nike Shox OZ 801 Womens Clearance , more than 120 Chinese-linked words have been written into Oxford dictionaries, such as fengshui, hutong, hukou, guanxi, goji berry, and Cantonese-based Dim Sum, Kowtow.

However Nike Shox TLX Womens Clearance , Kleeman pointed out that "no Chinese word or phrase has become very commonly-used in English in recent times," as most of the Chinese words in their dictionaries entered the English language a long time ago.

One reason is that Chinese words are hard to pronounce. "Chinese pinyin spelling, which is pretty much obligatory at this time, has a number of unintuitive features which, combined with the loss of tones, often result in pronunciations that would be unrecognizable to a Chinese speaker," she said.

In comparison, the Japanese words are not too difficult for English speakers to get the pronunciation more or less right. Therefore Nike Shox OZ D Womens Clearance , some Japanese words such as tycoon and karaoke became frequently used.

Admittedly, it took a long time for words and concepts of Japanese origin to make their way into English. Maybe the cause of Chinese buzzwords is equally long.

"It does seem likely English will borrow from Chinese as trade, cultural and personal connections between China and the West grow," Kleeman concluded.

"As more Chinese words attract attention among speakers of English, with the Internet as an especially productive channel between languages, this will provide the West with more windows on China, its culture, and concerns Nike Shox Avenue Womens Clearance ," she added. "But as to whether or not these words will truly form part of English usage remains to be seen."

MADRID, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo made Champions League history on Tuesday night when he scored in his side's 2-0 win in Copenhagen.

Ronaldo's goal, the second of the night, was significant, not just because it helped Madrid to seal the victory, but because it saw him set a new record for the number of goals scored in the group stage of the competition.

Ronaldo has scored nine goals in this season's Champions League, beating the previous best of 8, which he had shared with a group of elite players including Paris Saint Germain's Zlatan Ibrahomovich.

"I'm very happy with my nine goals Nike Shox Turbo 2 Womens Clearance ," said Ronaldo in the Spanish press on Wednesday, adding that although he was pleased with his achievement, records on their own were not worth all that much.

"All I did was help the team by scoring," he said. "I wanted to score on this occasion because of the record. But I don't get obsessed by records, I care more about winning trophies," said the striker, who is now just five goals behind Leo Messi's total of 65 goals in the Champions League and 11 off that of all time record holder, Raul Gonzalez.

Ronaldo has now netted 9 goals in the Champions League Nike Shox R4 Womens Clearance , 17 in the BBVA Primera Liga and of course, scored a hat-trick which helped Portugal qualify for next summer's World Cup finals.

"I feel very good and I feel I am useful to the team and that my play is getting smoother all of the time. I want to carry on enjoying that," he said.

Ronaldo's goal comes on his return from a thigh injury and although he was not impressed by the heavy pitch in Copenhagen, he was content he had not felt any problems with his muscle.

"I have to take it one step at a time. After such a long time away it took me a while to get back to my maximum level of performance. I'm not at my perfect fitness level yet," he commented.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted after the game that he wanted to avoid being drawn against English side Manchester City in the last 16 of the competition when the draw is made on Friday, but Ronaldo said he had no preferences.

"Every team in the tournament is good," he concluded.
