Selected English-Chinese Dictionary

Author: Manser

Publication Date: 2003-10-01
Features: The book includes approximately 26,000 entries, covering words, idioms, phrasal verbs, compound words, and derivatives. Due to the increasing use of American English, differences in spelling, pronunciation, and usage between American and British English are noted in the revised edition. The revised edition also highlights collocations of verbs, nouns, adjectives, and prepositions, further enhancing the practical value of the dictionary. Chinese definitions are annotated with Pinyin and include related traditional characters. English pronunciations use Jones' phonetic notation and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), with detailed pronunciation guidelines available in the "Pronunciation Guide" at the beginning of the main text. The revised edition of the Selected English-Chinese Dictionary maintains and improves upon the original edition's concise, practical content, compact layout, and pocket-sized design for easy portability. It serves as both a reference for domestic readers learning and using English and a valuable tool for overseas English speakers learning and using Chinese.
