Features: The "Student Practical English-Chinese Dictionary" is a compact English-Chinese dictionary suitable for a wide range of students learning English, as well as English teachers, foreign-related workers, English professionals, and English enthusiasts who need portable and easy-to-reference tools. Its practicality is demonstrated in the following three aspects:
1. The dictionary features a large vocabulary and extensive coverage, including all common English words, as well as a significant number of common and less common phrases. It contains over 20,000 entries (including derivatives and compound words). Additionally, some common idioms have been selectively included. Compared to general small dictionaries, this dictionary has about 20% more entries.
2. The dictionary pays special attention to a wide range of new words and meanings, particularly those that have emerged in recent 20 years in fields such as social life, education, sports, trade and economy, science and technology, culture, history, and geography.
3. To control the effective length of the dictionary and facilitate easy reference, common country names, geographical names, and other such terms are included in the entries and are not listed separately. Irregular plural forms of nouns, irregular comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs, as well as all irregular verb forms (past tense and past participle), are also clearly noted in the corresponding entries, eliminating the need for separate searches.
