an impressive work ... the accuracy of translation/definition is of the highest quality ... a superb reference work, one that should wind up on the desk of every English-Chinese and Chinese-English translator (Professor Howard Goldblatt, Chinese language specialist, teacher, and translator)
A gem of a dictionary. It's easy to use and is filled with clear and accurate definitions. It also has some very attractive and less expected special features, from bilingual templates for job applications to a list of translations for internet and computer terminology (a godsend for anyone who has ever wondered what the characters are for drop down menu, anti-virus software, or block a sender). (Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Professor of History, University of California and author of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know)

There are over 300 cultural notes giving essential information about many aspects of life and culture in the Chinese- and English-speaking worlds. The dictionary is based throughout on corpus research for both English and Chinese, providing up-to-date evidence on real language. The English is based on the Oxford EnglishCorpus, and the Chinese draws on the LIVAC corpus from the City University of Hong Kong. Extensive supplementary material includes sample letters and emails, guides to telephoningand text messaging in both Chinese and English, chronologies of Chinese history and culture, and features on particularly difficult aspects of the Chinese language, such as kinship terms and measure words. There are also over 50 pages of lexical and usage notes which contain helpful extra information about Chinese and English.
