The features of this book:
Practicality: The dictionary extensively collects common loanwords used in daily life and various publications, noting the original form of each word, its corresponding original text, Chinese translations, and grammatical content, and providing necessary example sentences for frequently used words. Therefore, it possesses the characteristics of general language reference books.
Knowledge: The dictionary also has the features of an encyclopedia. Not only does the scope of the entries cover encyclopedic fields, but the definitions also employ annotations in addition to translations to provide various types of information about foreign cultures and science and technology. The dictionary also briefly introduces knowledge about Japanese loanwords.
Comprehensiveness: Currently, various types of loanword dictionaries have been published in China, but most loanword dictionaries focus on the quantity of entries, listing only corresponding Chinese translations, which are overly brief. Specialized scientific loanword dictionaries have a narrow scope of entries, excluding everyday language and making them difficult to use for general readers. Accordingly, this dictionary integrates linguistic content and knowledge from various disciplines to compile a comprehensive and large-scale dictionary of loanwords.
