Features: This dictionary includes over 20,000 entries. The selection criteria for the entries are based on the high-frequency and commonly used vocabulary in people's daily lives and work. Considering that the target readers are primarily students (from beginners to university-level professionals), entries that are rare or have uncommon meanings are either omitted or not explained in this dictionary. Given that American English is more widely encountered and used in today's society, the compilers of this dictionary have referred more to materials related to this aspect. They have emphasized American cultural background and characteristics in definitions and example sentences. For specialized terms, the dictionary specially notes their scope of application. Additionally, efforts have been made to reflect the usage and grammatical features of each term in the example sentences as much as possible.
