Features: This Concise Chinese-English Dictionary is compiled to meet the needs of various readers. The book includes approximately 22,000 common entries, excluding obscure words. A brief overview of the usage of this book is provided below. The entries are primarily focused on everyday language, catering to the needs of reform and opening-up, economic development, and also include many terms related to politics, economy, culture, education, tourism, and other fields. Single-character entries are arranged in the order of Pinyin letters. Multi-character entries are arranged after single-character entries, following the order of the first character. When there are multiple multi-character entries following the same single-character entry, they are arranged in the order of the second character's Pinyin letters. Both single-character and multi-character entries are not annotated with phonetic transcriptions. Entries generally use corresponding English definitions. When a single-character entry has two or more English definitions, they are listed as separate meanings with numbers like ①, ②, ③, etc., to indicate their order.
