The entries included in the dictionary cover idioms, slang, phrasal verbs, prepositional phrases, and other commonly used expressions in modern English, totaling approximately 8,000 entries. We have emphasized the inclusion of relatively colloquial phrases from newly published phrase dictionaries abroad. Each entry is provided with a Chinese definition and appended with example sentences. If an entry has multiple meanings, it is accompanied by one or several example sentences for each meaning. The definitions are accurate and concise, while the example sentences are designed to be simple and practical. For the convenience of readers, each example sentence is followed by a Chinese translation.
