Author: Wang Leibao

Publishing Date: 2000-11-01
Features: This dictionary is divided into two parts: English-Chinese and Chinese-English. The English-Chinese section includes common vocabulary and its variations, totaling around 10,000 words. The Chinese-English section contains over 3,000 single-character words and 20,000 multi-character words. The compilation of this dictionary is based on the principles of easy-to-find, easy-to-use, and easy-to-remember, with the following characteristics:
1. Easy to remember: All vocabulary is annotated with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), making it convenient for readers to grasp correct pronunciation and facilitating spelling and memorization of words through association with pronunciation.
2. Time-saving: Compared to general dictionaries, it offers convenient and fast lookup, allowing readers to save a significant amount of time.
3. Innovative compilation: Currently, most dictionaries on the market are primarily English-Chinese, while large-volume dictionaries are not user-friendly for quick searches, and small-volume dictionaries are not practical for use. Only Chinese-English dictionaries fail to address reading needs. By combining both English-Chinese and Chinese-English sections, we have greatly facilitated reader use.
4. Concise and practical: As a quick-reference English-Chinese and Chinese-English dictionary, its greatest feature is its conciseness and practicality. First, the word selection range is reasonable and moderate; second, the definitions of words are brief and to the point, focusing on typical meanings while omitting uncommon ones.
5. Convenient to carry: As a reference tool, this dictionary adopts the most popular format currently, greatly facilitating portability and use. This book is edited by Wang Leibao. Due to the short compilation period, there are inevitably many shortcomings in this book. We hope readers will provide valuable feedback.
