2000s 2000年

well-off 小康
This refers to a standard of living that's considered relatively comfortable. It's originally from Confucius and was used by Deng for the reforms by the end of the 1980s. A well-off society would not only solve the clothing and food problems, but would also push the standard of living to a higher level, culturally and intellectually. 

所谓小康，是指一种相对舒适的生活标准。该词源自孔子，80年代末邓小平在改革开放时期重申该词。小康社会不仅要解决温饱问题，还要将人们的生活标准提升到一个较高的水平，在文化和教育方面都有所提升。

sunk 囧

This uncommon character means "brightness" in its classical sense. Around 2008, netizens brought it back to life as a perfect emoticon for online chatting. It has a look of disappointment, so it's gained a new meaning: embarrassment or awkwardness. It is also used in spoken language as an adjective. Sometimes it's used in conjunction with "orz", as "囧rz", to represent a person on hands and knees, a symbol of despair or failure.

“囧” 是个不常见的词。在传统意义上，其意思是“光明”。2008年，网友将其作为最佳在线聊天的表情符号，该词再度被广泛运用。由于该字看起来很像一个失望的表情，它还被赋予一个新含义：尴尬和困窘。此外，在口语中它还能用作形容词。有时，它还和"orz"一起用作“囧rz”，表示一个人跪在地上，象征绝望、失败的样子。

再次祝福我们伟大的祖国明天更美好！
