Features: To help middle school students and English beginners achieve the above goals, this dictionary has been compiled according to the new high school English curriculum standards and is tailored to the actual needs of students. It is designed for middle school students to use when learning and memorizing words and reading extracurricular English materials. Compared to similar books at home and abroad, this dictionary has the following characteristics:
1. Rigorous word selection. The word selection in this dictionary strictly follows the vocabulary list in the General High School English Curriculum Standards (People's Education Press, 2003) issued by the Ministry of Education in 2003. It includes all the English words listed in the list, as well as some phrases, expressions, and adjectives and nouns that can be derived from word formation rules, which are required for high school students to master according to the list's instructions.
2. Concise definitions. As a bilingual English-Chinese dictionary aimed at high school students and English beginners, this dictionary strives for brief and accurate English explanations, using vocabulary limited to the entries in this dictionary.
3. Rich examples. The dictionary provides a wealth of example words and sentences, illustrating the various uses of each entry from different perspectives in different contexts, which is beneficial for learners to imitate and construct sentences.
4. Emphasis on culture. In line with the principles of the new English curriculum standards, middle school English is increasingly focusing on practical communication, and understanding the cultural differences between the East and the West is an essential part of communication. Another major feature of this dictionary is that it allows readers to fully grasp the cultural connotations of these words, enabling them to use them more appropriately in real-life communication.
