Features: As a "university edition" dictionary that combines lexical entries and encyclopedic articles, it remains a highly popular medium-sized English reference tool due to its moderate length, carefully selected vocabulary, extensive word count, and translations of definitions and examples using standard modern Chinese. It particularly excels in collecting a wealth of practical English idioms, colloquialisms, and slang, which are challenging for Chinese learners and users of English. The dictionary has been reprinted multiple times since its publication and has sold nearly seven hundred thousand copies in mainland China and Hong Kong. The revision work undertaken by us includes the following aspects:
1. Correcting several textual and technical errors and omissions;
2. Adding nearly three thousand newly emerged English words in recent years, as well as several new meanings and phrases;
3. Adding American English phonetic transcriptions (K.K. system) in addition to the existing British English phonetic transcriptions, as U.S. English usage has become increasingly widespread internationally;
4. Including popular translations of technical terms and place names in regions such as Hong Kong and Taiwan;
5. Improving the format and layout to make symbols and fonts more prominent for easier reference by readers.
