Features: This book is the simplified Chinese edition of the fourth edition of the Oxford Advanced Learner's English-Chinese Dictionary. Since its release in 1997, it has been highly favored by readers, with annual reprints and sales reaching over a million copies, and it has been ranked on bestseller lists for multiple times. Half a century ago, Hornby compiled the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, pioneering the field of English teaching dictionaries. Through continuous revisions and reprints, the dictionary has become even more perfect. This dictionary is a faithful translation of the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, published in both English-English and English-Chinese bilingual forms, with its authority recognized worldwide. This supplement is derived from the fourth edition, enhanced by the Supplement of New Words, making the content more enriching, practical, and up-to-date. The content has increased by over 60% compared to the third edition, with the addition of the Supplement of New Words, featuring approximately 3,000 newly selected words, accompanied by phonetic transcriptions and 240 notes explaining the origins or usage of the new words. It includes 60,000 entries and groups, with 6,500 new entries, and 83,100 examples, most of which are newly added idioms and phrasal verbs. There are 12,800 phrasal verbs, all with cross-referenced entries. A total of 200 new entries are dedicated to explaining grammatical points or difficult word usage. There are 1,820 new illustrations, all with corresponding translations. An abundance of adverb examples are added for greater practicality; adjectives are distinguished by their use as attributive or predicative; concise verb pattern tables are reorganized and placed at the back of the book; two methods of using the dictionary are added: a brief and practical introduction at the beginning of the book and a detailed introduction at the back. The translation complies with Chinese language norms, emphasizing both English-English and English-Chinese bilingual explanations.
