Features: With the continuous deepening of reform and opening-up and the increasing widespread international exchanges, foreign language learning has no longer been limited to the cultivation of language skills. Acquiring professional knowledge and improving professional proficiency through English, as well as keeping track of the latest developments in disciplines, have become the demands of the era.

These dictionaries can serve as reference books for students of various majors in colleges and universities, as well as for professional technicians to study professional knowledge and improve their professional English skills. This dictionary is compiled based on the Oxford English Dictionary, collecting over 5,000 slang words and phrases used in contemporary global English-speaking countries. The content is vivid, and the definitions are clear. For each entry, the dictionary provides complete information, including definitions, origins, and first publication dates, along with classic examples to help readers appreciate the nuances of usage.
