Binding: HardcoverDewey Decimal Number: 495.1321 EAN: 9780195964592 ISBN: 0195964594 Label: Oxford University Press, USA Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 1136 Publication Date: November 18, 2004 Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA Studio: Oxford University Press, USA Editorial Review: Product Description: An essential reference both for English-speakers learning Chinese and Chinese-speakers learning English, this brand new Oxford Chinese Dictionary offers authoritative, up-to-the-minute coverage, with over 88,000 words and phrases, and 130,000 translations in a practical format. The Dictionary's clear layout makes it accessible and straightforward to use, and a detailed index system of radicals helps you find the entry you need quickly and easily. Chinese simplified characters, orthodox characters, and pinyin forms are given for each. Putonghua tones are included. The Dictionary has also been updated to include the very latest vocabulary, including bioterrorism, e-shopping, WAP phone, domain name, and SARS. The CD-ROM offers an essential and quick reference tool, eliminating the multi-stage look-up process in the print dictionary. The CD contains character recognition and audio pronunciations for 22,000 single-characters. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Oxford DictionaryThis dictionary was really good and fitted the description that Amazon provided. Amazon also delivered on time - actually 5 days before the estimated delivery period so that was really good. I saved quite a bit of money and was very satisfied. I'd definitely use Amazon again. Rating:  - Read carefully...This is not a pocket dictionary. This is a serious hard cover dictionary with more than 90 000 entries. I was able to find any tricky Chinese vocabulary here inside. Giving 5 stars. Rating: - A Good Dictionary for BeginnersWhile perhaps not quite "pocket"-sized, this dictionary is compact and convenient and is a good resource to accompany a learner's first textbook in the Chinese language. Entries are clear and written in a large, legible font, and example sentences (a must for beginners who need as much exposure to the actual composition of the language as possible) are included for most major entries. Nathan Dummitt author of Chinese Through Tone & Color Rating:  - WRONG SIZE. This is not a "Pocket" dictionery. I was wanting something to carry with me on my travels and it is large and heavy. The dictionery is very thorough though if that is what you are wanting. Rating: - Oxford Chinese-English Dictionary & Software - Strong points & WeakThe dictionary is very full, and has a wealth of contemporary terms. These are very useful in a world that is experiencing rapid technological and social change. The written dictionary tends to give fuller treatment of the entries. The software is a bit sparse on discussion and examples. Sample sentences and usage examples would have been ideal. (I have in mind two older Oxford electronic dictionaries, one Spanish-English, the other French-English, that offered very full discussion of the entries.) ... Read More |
