Features: This dictionary is primarily based on the 1987 edition of the Collins English Dictionary, as well as several influential English-English and English-Chinese dictionaries, and is compiled to meet the practical needs of Chinese students learning English. It contains over 20,000 entries. This dictionary is a compact English reference tool primarily aimed at middle school students, college students, and readers with intermediate proficiency. At the same time, it strives to provide as much information as possible within its limited space to meet the reading needs of readers at different levels. In terms of arrangement, entries, and the selection of definitions, as well as the choice of example sentences, it aims to be innovative. In terms of arrangement, it seeks to be convenient and practical, reducing unnecessary repetition. In the selection of entries and definitions, it strives to reflect the changes in English vocabulary over the past 20 years, generally excluding obscure, rare, or outdated words, while including as many new words, new meanings, and words that Chinese students find difficult to learn. When selecting example sentences, if the definition is clear, examples are not provided; when examples are needed, they are primarily phrasal expressions. Phrasal verbs, idioms, and polysemy are common difficulties for Chinese students learning English. Therefore, this dictionary includes as many polysemous words and idioms composed primarily of common and basic words as possible.
