Tips

usage
创纪录 literally 'create a record', and Chinese uses it for both setting a new record and merely hitting a new high - the contrast English makes between 'set' and 'break' a record is collapsed here. Often used adverbially: 创纪录 ('in a record-setting way') or attributively: 创纪录销量 (record-breaking sales).
