Features: To adapt to the revitalization and development of the textile industry after China's entry into the WTO, as well as the needs of technical exchange and information dissemination between China and foreign countries; at the same time, to meet the needs of textile professionals, students of textile and apparel colleges and universities in learning and understanding basic knowledge of textiles, dyeing, and apparel, as well as for convenient use, we selected some common professional terms from the 1985 Chinese-English Textile and Dyeing Dictionary and the 1994 Combined Edition of the English-Chinese Textile Industry Vocabulary (Main and Supplementary Volumes). Additionally, we supplemented a large number of terms related to textiles, apparel, and commonly used in design, production, technology, style, and color from domestic and foreign books, periodicals, and trade and production practices. Some entries also include explanatory notes or annotations. The dictionary is published in a compact format for use by textile professionals, scientific and technical personnel, teachers and students of textile and apparel colleges and universities, translators, business and trade personnel, and other learners. The original dictionary included over 10,000 entries, and after revision, it has been expanded by approximately 65,000 words, mainly covering terms related to magnetic processes, equipment, raw materials, products, and testing in cotton, wool, silk, ramie, silk, synthetic fibers, textiles, weaving, machine weaving, knitting, machinery, dyeing and printing, sewing, cutting, and apparel. Entries are arranged in alphabetical order according to the Pinyin system. English spellings are combined with both British and American conventions. Some spellings and meanings are followed by ( ) or < >, with the text in parentheses serving as annotations or supplementary explanations.
