Features: This dictionary categorizes and explains English vocabulary in detail, serving as a reference tool for English writing, translation, and expanding lexical knowledge. It breaks the traditional alphabetical arrangement of entries in dictionaries and organizes semantically related words into categories. Each entry includes definitions and example sentences, allowing readers to clearly understand the differences and similarities among, and to use them effectively. This dictionary is a treasure trove of English vocabulary, providing readers with a wealth of words to learn and select. For example, when readers need an adjective to express "beautiful" in English writing or translation, this book lists similar words such as good-looking, beautiful, lovely, pretty, attractive, comely, handsome, striking, presentable, shapely, fair, elegant, picturesque, and clearly explains the meanings and usage of each word. It also includes example sentences, enabling readers to choose the most appropriate word to enhance the impact of their writing. Since its English edition was first published, it has been continuously reprinted sixteen times, widely favored by English readers and sold worldwide. To meet the needs of Chinese readers, a bilingual English-Chinese edition is now published.
