The Top Ten Most Popular Terms (01/15/2007)
/pY-how%! (YCWB; Southern Metropolis Daily) Even though the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center heads the list of sponsors, there is no scientific basis to determine which are the most popular terms in Chinese newspapers, radio and television. Nevertheless, the selections will give some sense of the Zeitgeist. In 2002, there were terms such as 短信 (SMS), 降息 (interest rate reduction), 十六大 (Sixteenth Congress of the Chinese Communist Party); in 2003, there was 非典 (SARS), 隔離 (isolation), 三峽工程 (The Three Gorges Project); in 2004, there was 科學發展觀 (the scientific development approach), 執政能力 (ability of governance), 審計風暴 (audit storm); in 2005, there was 保持***員先進性教育 (sustain the progressive education of Communist Party members), 十一五規劃 (The Eleventh Five-year plan), 神舟六號 (Shenzhou 6).
eH HY.^| SR%k|YT In 2006, the top ten terms were 和諧社會 (harmonious society), 社會主義新農村 (new socialist rural villages), 青藏鐵路 (Qinghai-Tibet Railroad), 自主創新 (autonomous innovation), 社會主義榮辱觀 (socialist definitions of honor and shame), 中非合作論壇 (Sino-African Cooperative Forum), 消費稅 (consumption tax), 長征精神 (the spirit of the Long March), 非物質文化遺產 (non-materialistic cultural heritage).
+YZ*>ki :eIi^K z[ The commentary about this list is that it tends to be 'too harmonious.' But even a healthy body can sometimes experience pain. So here are some popular terms that were not mentioned: 流氓軟件 (spyware), 潛規則 (hidden rules), 假藥 (fake medicine), 食品安全 (food safety), 多寶魚 (turbot fish), 平價醫院 (cheap hospital), 福壽螺 (Amazonian snail), 狂犬病 (rabies), 紅心鴨蛋 (red-cored duck egg), 漢芯 (Hanxin microchips), 惡搞 (spoof), 福利腐敗 (welfare corruption).
