参考答案:
The Chinese hot words usually reflect the social and cultural change, some of them are increasingly popular with the foreign media. For instance, although the Tuhao and Dama are old words, they have acquired new meaning.
Tuhao referred to the village landlords who oppressed the peasants and servants in the old days, but now it is used to refer to the rich who spends money like water or likes to show off. That is to say, the local tyrants have wealth but no taste. Dama is a calling to middle-aged women, but now it especially refers to the Chinese women who buy large amount of gold when gold tumbled recently.
These two words are likely to be include in the new OXford English Dictionary. Until now, about 120 Chinese word have added in the OXford English Dictionary, becoming a part of the English language.
