Features: The English Popular Slang Dictionary collects a large number of commonly used and popular vocabulary, dialogues, and idioms. It not only strives to explore all the areas language can touch in life but also designs vivid daily contexts, enabling readers to break free from the mechanical memorization methods of the past and imprint some key words and authentic language techniques into their minds on a solid understanding. This dictionary is tailored for readers with a medium-level English learning proficiency, divided into sixteen chapters based on different scenarios, including Leisure and Sports, Marriage and Love, Travel and Transportation, Food and Health, Medical and Insurance, Computers and Internet, Mobile Phones and Communication, Job Seeking and Work, Shopping, Real Estate, Campus Life, Festivals at Home and Abroad, Cultural Differences, Emotional Expression, Common Abbreviations, and Common Proverbs. The covered fields are extensive, and the paired situational dialogue topics are trendy, making it highly practical for immediate learning and application. Under the guidance of Mr. Gu Yao, who has lived in the United States for many years, many English expressions in the dictionary are more (closer to real life), avoiding common obscure and outdated examples.
