Features: To help college and high school students learn English effectively, we have developed this "English-Chinese Multifunctional Dictionary" based on the learning characteristics of native Chinese speakers, taking into account the actual learning situations of students at these levels. In accordance with the "English Curriculum Standards for Senior High Schools" and the "College English Teaching Syllabus" issued by the Ministry of Education, and in conjunction with commonly used English textbooks in schools across the country, we have compiled this dictionary as a gift to all friends studying English. The strength of this dictionary lies in its "multifunctionality." By "multifunctionality," we mean that it not only provides Chinese definitions for English entries but also includes functional sections such as collocations, usage, idioms, examples, distinctions, synonyms, antonyms, derivatives, and compound words. This approach offers a comprehensive and multi-faceted interpretation of English word usage, helping readers to thoroughly master English vocabulary and achieve fluency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, as well as success in various tests at all levels.
While more functions and richer content can reduce the word count, a limited vocabulary may not meet users' needs. Therefore, we have adopted the "two-tier processing method" in this dictionary, categorizing entries into "detailed" and "concise" explanations. Detailed entries include all functional sections, while concise entries list only the most essential ones. Detailed entries are organized by part of speech, while concise entries are grouped together. This "two-tier processing method" helps to provide as much useful information as possible within a limited space, increasing the dictionary's "value" and improving its "cost-effectiveness."
This dictionary was co-authored by experienced scholars and frontline teachers, with carefully selected vocabulary, rich content, accurate explanations, targeted learning support, ease of understanding and memorization, and natural, imitation-worthy example sentences. It is an excellent reference book for learning English vocabulary.
Creating a dictionary is no easy task—it requires meticulous effort.
