But don't take the Chinese term verbatim. In colloquial conservations, this term means that one is uninterested in or even peeved by something others said or did. So don't talk about Tamiflu when there's no flu threat in sight.播客 (bo1ke4)podcasterThe word, a hybrid of "Ipod" and "broadcast," refers to those who combine a group of technologies to distribute audio and video files over the Internet.

汉英翻译中的新词新语
汉英翻译中的新词新语中国翻译网改革开放以来，我国社会生活发生了急剧变化，大批新词新语应运而生。
由于社会变革的迅猛，新词的生成速度惊人地快。
比如，人们正大谈"厄尔尼诺"（EI Nino）之际，"拉尼娜"(L a Nina)已经产生；刚出现"智商"（IQ）却又进出个"情商"(EQ)；才在谈"第三产业"(third/t ertiary industry, service sector, third sequence of enterprises)，"第四产业"(quat ernary/information industry)已悄然而至；"军嫂"(military spouse)的事迹还在传诵"空嫂、呼嫂、礁嫂、纱嫂、报嫂、红嫂、接送嫂、抗洪大嫂"业已闪亮登场……凡此等等，不一而足，简直让人应接不暇。
语言是社会政治、经济、思想、文化的象征，一定时期的新词新语是一定时期人们思维方式和生活方式的反映。
面对新词新语，外语工作者有责任及时将它们译成准确、地道的外语，以便让国外读者了解今日中国的国情及发展。
怎样才能做好汉语新词新语的英译工作呢？下面，笔者拟结合实例谈几点粗浅看法。
一、内外有别，以不同方法传译不同类新词就汉语新词的产生看，其源语有二：一是自他语中引入，二是自本族语中新生。
显而易见，对引进的新词应取回译法，即还"舶来品"以本来面目。
例如，峰会（香港译"极峰会议"）：s ummit(conference)；克隆：clone；冰毒：iee；摇头丸：dancing outreach；传销：multi- level marketing；（计算机）2000 年问题：Y2K problem (y for year, k for kilo or th ousand)；等等。
