Features: This dictionary includes approximately 1,800 entries, covering new words and phrases that have emerged since 1978. The entries are arranged alphabetically by the first letter of their Pinyin pronunciation from A to Z. Directly borrowed foreign letters are placed under the same Pinyin letter with an asterisk (). For example, entries like "CALL" and "CALL" are listed at the beginning under the letter "C." After each entry, the standard Mandarin Pinyin is provided, but foreign letters are retained as they are, without following pronunciation rules. Following the Pinyin notation is the definition of the term. If a word has multiple meanings, they are numbered (e.g., 1, 2, 3). After the definition, there are examples from newspapers and magazines.
