摘　　要：With the intensifying of globalization and blending of different cultures, more and more foreign words, especially English words, are becoming Chinese transliteration words. The present paper, with many latest popular Chinese words that have been transliterated from English as examples, explores the four types of changes of those transliteration words： extension, narrowing, elevation, and degradation. The paper proves that although various changes are taking place during the process, extension of the meaning is the main trend. Reasons for those changes are briefly mentioned. The paper concludes that borrowing is a trend, because it can enrich other language and meanwhile retain their original characteristics.
