Features: This dictionary includes over 8,000 words and phrases, with about 80% being commonly used terms, organized into 1,500 groups for comparison. Each word or phrase, in addition to its definition, is accompanied by a wealth of examples, totaling over 24,000 entries. The entries in each group are arranged in alphabetical order, and an index of all words is provided at the end for easy reference. In this dictionary, we not only include synonyms but also specifically feature words that Chinese learners often confuse when learning English. In the comparisons, besides providing the shared meaning of the group words, we focus on highlighting their differences in etymology, collocation, usage, rhetorical color, frequency of use, and context. We strive to make the content concise yet comprehensive, with clear and thorough explanations supported by reliable and well-documented examples.
