In addition to general terms, it also features common idioms, proverbs, and colloquial expressions, as well as frequently used words in natural and social sciences. The book is highly practical and convenient. Since it is mainly designed for Chinese readers, the content is arranged with a strong emphasis on practicality. The single-character and multi-character entries included are those commonly used in daily life. Ancient characters and meanings that are rarely encountered are excluded, as are obscure characters and non-standard usage. Single-character entries are annotated with phonetics, while multi-character entries are not, to keep the layout concise and facilitate reader lookup. The book is rich and detailed in content. It places particular emphasis oning common idioms, proverbs, and colloquial expressions. Chinese and English belong to different language families, and during their long development, they have formed relatively independent expression habits and rhetorical methods. Therefore, in most cases, a single Chinese word may not have a universal English equivalent. The book includes as many relevant translations as possible, providing readers with a wide range of choices for use in different contexts.
