Features: The "New New Words Bilingual Dictionary" is organized by subject categories, providing English-Chinese bilingual explanations and background information for new terms in fields such as information, technology, genetics, humanities, companies, the green world, world trade, popular culture, international finance, and outer space. Examples are selected from English and Chinese newspapers, contemporary publications, and reference books, helping English professionals, specialists in relevant fields, people planning to study abroad, and to acquire up-to-date knowledge from the West while learning and understanding sentences. This enhances their ability to grasp current knowledge and language trends. This section of the dictionary collects not only new words that have emerged with the development of nanotechnology and genetics, such as "nanoceramics" and "gene chips" (which are compound words formed by combining English words), but also terms like "non-reproductive cloning" that have appeared solely due to advancements in cloning technology. Detailed background and development processes of these technologies are provided in both Chinese and English explanations, allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of the terms and their respective fields while learning their meanings. In summary, this section aims to assist English enthusiasts in understanding advanced high-tech knowledge.
