Features: This is a comprehensive Chinese-English dictionary primarily focused on current slang terms, while also covering other types of new words. It includes approximately 35,000 entries, covering various fields such as politics, economy, science and technology, culture, foreign affairs, IT, and social life. The vocabulary collected mainly consists of new terms and popular words that emerged since the reform and opening-up, especially since the 1980s, which are often difficult to find in general Chinese-English reference books or not available at all. Many of these terms are uniquely Chinese. The word selection is up to the end of 2003. , with a large number of entries. Currently, there are books on new words available in the market, but they either have a very limited word count, mostly include terms that are not truly new, or consist largely of vocabulary that can be found in existing reference books. This book contains approximately 35,000 entries, making it one of the most extensive Chinese-English dictionaries for new words available to date.
Second, the authority is guaranteed. As mentioned above, the entries in this dictionary are sourced from various authoritative books and magazines, with many directly translated from official English versions of central documents. For some new terms without existing translations, the compilers have attempted translations and consulted experts in relevant fields.

Fourth, the translations are comprehensive and thorough. For example, the term "" (poverty alleviation), while a general dictionary of the same type might only offer two or three translations, this book collects over 10 translations, making it highly valuable for reference.
