At the turn of the century, we conducted a comprehensive revision of this dictionary, updated some Chinese entries, and revised the English definitions to make them more vivid and lively. It retains the original features of being concise and practical while reflecting the new era's characteristics, catering to the needs of teachers and students in colleges and universities, middle school students, Chinese language teaching for foreigners, and translators. The word selection is precise, with a total of over 23,000 entries. It keeps pace with the times by adding over 3,000 new words and phrases, particularly highlighting vocabulary in economics, law, science and technology, and daily life. The definitions are accurate, the translations are idiomatic, and the language is vivid and fluent. All entries are annotated with part of speech to facilitate use by foreign readers. The examples are rich, emphasizing different expressions and multiple collocations. The appendices are extensive and practical.
