Features: (This dictionary) is compiled to meet the needs of Chinese English learners. The compilers have fully considered the characteristics of Chinese English learners, aiming to create a "multifunctional" dictionary that can satisfy various needs with just "one book in hand." This book is compiled to meet the needs of Chinese English learners. The New Century English-Chinese Multifunctional Dictionary is different from general English-Chinese bilingual dictionaries and also different from usage dictionaries that focus on specific functions, such as some dictionaries that emphasize collocations, while others highlight synonyms and antonyms as their main features. The entries included in this dictionary, in addition to including headwords, phonetic transcriptions, parts of speech, inflectional forms, definitions, and examples, may also include phrases, idioms, collocations, synonyms, antonyms, explanations, derivatives, and language notes. It integrates individual features of existing English-Chinese dictionaries and provides extensive information from different perspectives such as syntax, semantics, pragmatics, style, and cross-cultural communication. The number of functions, the comprehensiveness of features, and the volume of information in this dictionary are truly pioneering among similar dictionaries in China.
