Features: This dictionary is a highly practical reference tool, suitable for a broad range of English workers and learners in China. It contains 1,703 nouns (including multiple meanings of the same word) and is organized into 516 groups. The entries are well-focused, distinctions are clear, examples are abundant, and practicality is emphasized. In addition to referencing synonyms dictionaries compiled by British and American scholars, it also includes words that are easily confused by Chinese learners or have similar Chinese definitions. At the same time, considering that English idiomatic usage can be difficult to master, the dictionary also provides explanations on word usage and collocations as much as possible.
