新华字典时隔九年更新

The 12th edition of Xinhua Dictionary, published on Monday after nine years since its last edition, has added new words and definitions shaped by the internet and social progress, reflecting the development of the country and characteristics of the times.
《新华字典》(第12版)于8月10日发行上市,增补了一些随网络和社会进步而涌现、反映国家发展和时代特征的新词和新定义。《新华字典》上一次修订已是9年前。

The new dictionary includes more than 100 new words and expressions, such as "chu xin" (original aspiration), "fen si" (fans), "jie ping" (screenshots), "er wei ma" (QR code), and "dian zan" (click the "like" button). In addition, it has added 50 new definitions and usages, including "mai meng" (acting cute), "pin che" (carpool), "pin gou" (shopping pool), and "bei hui yuan" (involuntarily being a member).
此次增添新词达100多个,如“初心”、“粉丝”、“截屏”、“二维码”、“点赞”等,此外还增补了50个字词新义新用法,包括“卖萌”、“拼车”、“拼购”、“被会员”等。

In addition to these regular revisions, the 12th edition has a QR code on each page, allowing readers to scan the code to learn how to correctly write a character and hear the correct pronunciation.
另外,第12版《新华字典》还在每页都附有二维码,读者可以用手机扫码查字、听读音。

This is the first time the Xinhua Dictionary has simultaneously launched an app and printed copies.
《新华字典》还首次实现了应用程序和纸质图书同步发行。
