Features: Currently, there are not many medium-sized English-Chinese and Chinese-English bidirectional dictionaries. Considering the learning and usage needs of a broad readership, we compiled the New English-Chinese and Chinese-English Dictionary in the early 1990s. With this dictionary in hand, you effectively have both an English-Chinese and Chinese-English dictionary at the same time. During this revision, we collected new materials and conducted comprehensive additions and deletions. The third edition retains the features of the edition and the second edition, such as extensive word coverage, accurate definitions, logical arrangement, strong practicality, and clear fonts. Additionally, we have made every effort to supplement new vocabulary, usage, and examples to ensure the dictionary keeps pace with the times. The book contains over 80,000 English-Chinese and Chinese-English entries. English-Chinese entries are annotated with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and Chinese-English entries are appropriately annotated with Pinyin. After the main body of both dictionaries, there are fifteen illustrated diagrams of Chinese and English plants and animals, as well as textual appendices including Chinese administrative divisions, ethnic groups in China, chronological tables of Chinese dynasties, the 24 solar terms, and other materials such as British, American, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand (partial data), numerals, dates, times, ages, phone numbers, chemical elements, metric and imperial/British/American measurement conversions.
