Features: To meet the needs of a wide range of readers learning English and Chinese, the editors have organized scholars and experts from domestic institutions to compile this compact Chinese-English dictionary. It includes over 3,840 single-character entries and over 31,000 multi-character entries, designed for easy reference and learning by both Chinese and foreign readers. The book has the following features:
1. Novel word meanings. Many entries are not found in general dictionaries. The editors have selectively incorporated new words and phrases that emerged since China's reform and opening-up, based on the learning needs of readers at different levels. This is the most distinctive feature of the book.
2. Convenient to use, with an innovative compilation system. After each Chinese character, the corresponding part of speech and usage are annotated, along with modern Chinese pinyin. The treatment of polyphonic characters is also reader-friendly, with explanations arranged in the order they appear after the character, making it easy for readers to use.
3. High practicality. The words and phrases selected for this book have been carefully curated by the editors. Some obscure or uncommon words and phrases are avoided as much as possible. Additionally, the English translations for each entry use the most common words, making them easy to understand and helping readers firmly grasp the meanings.
