問題詳情：

    What are the hottest words of 2008 in China? Google gave its list this month.

“Shanzhai”, a Chinese word, which means “copying”, is top of the list. It’s true that “Shanzhai” is everywhere. It refers to all kinds of homemade e are “Shanzhai” movies, songs, and TV programs. Some people even tried to prepare for a “shanzhai” Spring Festival gala last year. “Shanzhai” is popular because it provides the ordinary people a chance to take part in many activities. Meanwhile, it brings about a risk of breaking copyright laws.

The second hottest word is an ancient Chinese character “囧”. It is pronounced “jiong”. It used to mean “light shining through a window”. Now young Chinese use it to express embarrassment, or a bad mood. Look at the character, doesn't it look like a disappointed face?

The newly intvented Chinese Charater “槑” is the fourth hottest. Pronounced “méi”, the word is a different form of the word “梅”. But it also looks like a double version of the character “呆”, which means stupid. So young people nowadays have borrowed it to mean “very silly or very stupid”.
