Features: In the brand new 21st century, if a person's bookshelf lacks an English dictionary, it seems as if they do not belong to this era. For some technicians, the dictionary they need is one related to their professional field, and the Commercial Dictionary is specifically compiled for professional talents engaged in commercial work. This is a highly contemporary professional English reference tool. From the initial collection of materials to its publication today, it took three years. Over these three years, language innovation has advanced rapidly, and new ideas and professional terms have emerged constantly. With every review and revision, we promptly incorporated new content, making this a dictionary that keeps pace with the times. The commercial vocabulary covered is extensive, and to avoid the dictionary becoming overly bulky and impractical, we made significant efforts to delete outdated entries. However, determining the optimal number of entries indeed posed a challenge. For this purpose, we referred to numerous newly published professional dictionaries and magazines both domestically and internationally, and after professional verification, we included nearly 50,000 entries, though we are still aware of the gaps left unaddressed. Another notable feature of this dictionary is its ability to look up corresponding English terms from Chinese entries. The first part of the dictionary is no different from general English-Chinese dictionaries, but the second part is a Chinese-English word index. This index is arranged according to the Hanyu Pinyin alphabet, and based on the page and line numbers marked after each Chinese entry, you can easily find the relevant term in the English-Chinese section. With one dictionary serving two functions, it greatly facilitates readers' use.
