<strong>When it comes to dictionary,a majority of people will feel difficult to master but easy to refer.Once you feel confident and competent to conquer one deck of dictionary,you have already won the half of battle on the way of English study!
<strong>谈到词典，大部分人会感到难以掌握但是容易查阅。一旦你感到有信心和能力攻克一本词典，你就已经在英语学习的道路上成功了一半！
<strong>Now let's say some digression interesting.After drifting along in the society for many years,do you feel longing and yearning for leading a carefree life?How about living in the campus,monastery,arcadia etc.?Supposing you bumped into a beauty and turned over her notebook in the campus,probably you would gloat over her misfortune and help her to pick up the notebook.You could have caught a glimpse and kept in mind of her name on the cover of notebook during that moment.Later on,you somehow found her dormitory,knew her hobby and bought a dictionary for her.Next time when you came across her in the corridor and pretended unnoticed,she began to greet you proactively even she wanted to hit you by lifting the dictionary instead of brick......Wow,you have to acknowledge what a appealing appearance of such a beauty holding a dictionary in her arms and it's worthy of being hit even knocked down by her!How powerful the dictionary is!Do you like eating ice-cream brick,sliced bread,bean curd and so on?They are so cuboid and cool as well as the dictionary.Not only the shape but also the content will overwhelm you.
<strong>现在让我们说一些题外话。在社会上混了很多年以后，你有没有感到想过一种无忧无虑的生活？住在校园，寺院，世外桃源等等怎么样？假设你在校园邂逅了一位美女又弄掉了她的笔记本，你很可能会幸灾乐祸然后帮她捡起笔记本。在那个瞬间，你可能匆匆瞥了一眼又记住了笔记本封面上她的名字。之后，你想方设法找到了她的宿舍，知道了她的爱好，又买了一本词典给她。下一次，当你在走廊偶遇她而装作没看见，她开始主动和你打招呼，她甚至想用代替砖头的词典拍你......哇，你不得不承认美女抱着一本词典是多么有吸引力的样子，被她拍到甚至拍倒也值了！词典是多么强大！你喜欢吃冰砖，切片面包，豆腐等等吗？它们和词典一样都是长方体，都很酷。不但外形会让你为之倾倒，内容也是。
<strong>Generally speaking,on the basis of my long-term exprience in English study,I recommend the Merriam-Webster,Oxford,Collins,Longman English-Chinese double definition dictionary.You'd better choose their subcategories according to your level and interest.The each of the four types above-mentioned has its own merits.Collins' toward British style has the most native and complete example sentences.Oxford's toward British style has the most authoritative,rigorous and comprehensive definitions.Longman's toward British style has the most useful and common collocations and definitions.Also the gradation of word frequency in Longman is helpful for improving step by step.Merriam-Webster's which is inclined to American style has the most standard American phonetic symbol and slang.Besides,they have many more advantages waiting for you to discover.In terms of Chinese-English dictionary,the series come out directly from the Commercial Press are not bad,nevertheless I still don't advise you to focus on it more than English-Chinese dictionary.Many of the English definitions corresponding to the Chinese words are not native enough and neither of the example sentences.A lot of Chinese scholars and professors keep on using them regardless of the stiffness is a result of Chinglish epidemic now.As an English lover,I anticipate the publication of more natural and native Chinese-English dictionary.Even I am willing to contribute to the compilation of it.The so-called best one is not necessarily suitable for you,the most suitable one for you will be the best.
<strong>总体来讲，根据我在英语领域长期学习的经验，我推荐麦林韦氏，牛津，柯林斯，朗文英汉双解词典。你最好根据你的水平和兴趣选择它们的子类别。上文提到的四种各有千秋。有点倾向于英式的柯林斯拥有最地道和最完整的例句。倾向于英式的牛津拥有最权威，最严谨和最全面的释义。倾向于英式的朗文拥有最实用和最通用的搭配和释义，而且它的词汇频率分级可以帮助你循序渐进。倾向于美式的麦林韦氏拥有最标准的美式音标和俚语。除此之外，它们还有更多的优点等待你去发现。谈到汉英词典，直接从商务印书馆出版的系列还不错，但是我仍然不建议你比英汉词典更加关注它。很多汉语词汇对应的英文释义和例句不够地道。太多中国学者和教授坚持用它们而不顾生硬是造成如今中式英语泛滥的原因。作为一名英语爱好者，我期待更加地道自然的汉英词典的出版。甚至我可以为编纂做出贡献。所谓的最好的不一定适合你，最适合你的才是最好的。
<strong>Reciting dictionary is as dull as dishwater in most people's eyes.But as long as you are infatuated with and insistant on doing it,you will have fun.The most monotonous way tends to be the most efficient way of improving English. Providing that you had read all of the artworks written by Shakespeare,you would have acquired roughly twenty thousand vocabulary,yet you would have acquired more than seventy thousand vocabulary after acquainting with one dictionary.My father told me before:"Neither repeat yourself nor others."But this is just the basic skill and far from sufficient if you really want to learn English well.The British,American original books,radios,movies,TV dramas etc. will be conducive to your further study as well.The last but important,don't forget to speak out and talk in English bravely.Let's improve English together and promote the win-win cooperation between China and the world.
<strong>背诵词典在大部分人眼里平淡乏味。但是只要你痴迷并且坚持做，你将会找到乐趣。提高英语最单调的方式往往是最有效率的方式。假设你已经读过莎士比亚所有的作品，你会习得两万左右的词汇，但你熟悉一本词典后将会习得七万多的词汇。我的父亲曾经告诉过我：“不要重复自己，不要重复别人。”但是你如果想学好英语这只是基本功，还远远不够。英美原版书，广播，电影，电视剧等等也会有益于你的深造。最后同样重要的是，不要忘记勇敢地说聊英语。让我们一起提高英语来促进中国与世界的双赢合作吧。
