►Add oil， a popular Chinese phrase commonly used to express encouragement， incitement， or support， has reportedly been included in the latest version of the Oxford English Dictionary.
“加油”，是一个在国内被人们广泛使用用来为其他人鼓劲助威或表示支持的短语，目前已被收录入最新版本的牛津英语字典。
The phrase， 加油 (jia you) in Chinese， literally means inject petrol to an engine. Chinese often speak it loudly in games and competitions to encourage participants.
“加油”这个短语从字面上理解就是给某些引擎机器加入汽油，而中国人在比赛或竞赛中常常大声喊出这个短语来鼓励参赛者。
The Oxford dictionary entry identifies "add oil" as a translation of Cantonese "ga yau，" and cites that the Hong Kong English use of "add oil" can be dated back as early as 1964.
牛津字典给“加油”的定义中提到这个短语的发音来自粤语“gayau”，并且提到香港英语中最早使用add oil表示加油可追溯到1964年。
Previously， dozens of other Chinese phrases have been included in the OED， such as Guanxi (personal connections that aid business) and Lucky money (cash given in red envelopes).
以前很多中国的其他短语也被写进牛津词典，比如关系（对商业有益的私人联系）和红包（装在红色信封里的现金）。
In recent years， it’s also been alleged that the OED has considered recognizing other Chinese buzzwords like tuhao (meaning rich rednecks) and dama (referring to elderly women).
近年来也有宣称，牛津英语词典考虑过收录其他类似土豪 (有钱的乡巴佬)、大妈 (年长妇女) 的中文热词。
In 2014， the American Urban Dictionary incorporated several Chinese internet buzzwords， such as no zuo no die (which translates into English as "if you don’t do stupid things， they won’t come back and bite you in the back")， "you can you up， no can no BB" (which roughly translates into English as "if you can do it you should go on and do it， instead of criticizing others’ work").
2014年，美国城市字典还新收录了许多中国的流行词汇，比如“no zuo no die”（可翻译为如果你不作死，就不会死），还有“you can you up no can no BB”，（可直译为如果你自己也做不了这件事情，就别一直指责批评别人。）
According to OED website， more than 1，400 new words， senses， and subentries have been added to its latest update.
根据牛津英语词典官方网站宣布，大约有1400个新单词，词意和分项被纳入字典的最新版本中。
