This book was compiled to meet the needs of Chinese English learners. The New Century English-Chinese Multifunctional Dictionary differs from general English-Chinese bilingual dictionaries and also from usage dictionaries that focus on specific functions, such as some dictionaries that primarily address collocations, while others highlight word differentiation as their specialty. The entries included in this dictionary not only include headwords, phonetic transcriptions, parts of speech, inflectional forms, definitions, and examples but 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. Its wide range of functions, comprehensiveness, and vast amount of information are truly pioneering among similar dictionaries in China.
