Review for the Translation of Chinese Idioms in A Comprehensive Chinese-English Dictionary;

Translation of Culture-specific Words in the Chinese-English Dictionary for Foreign Learners;

Chinese four-character idioms are a special yet important component of a Chinese-English dictionary.

Author discusses the four principles of revision of legal terms in English-Chinese dictionaries published in China:the principle of giving up″circulating erroneous reports″,the principle of avoiding the restriction of original explanations of English dictionaries,the principle of evading low-frequency/nothing-frequency revision,the principle of advocating independent research in dictionary-making.

As an important tool of English teaching and learning,English-Chinese dictionaries should offer enough information to English learners or dictionary users in order to meet their needs for lexical collocation information.

Example sentences of English-Chinese dictionaries perform both dominant functions and recessive functions.

Chinese English dictionary is of great importance to such fields as cross language information retrieval, machine aided translation et al.

This paper is a tentative exploration of the relation between the Internet and C-E dictionary compilation.

Specifically, I argue that the dictionary as text should follow the seven standards of textuality proposed by Beaugrande & Dressier (1981) and attempt to see how this theory can be applied to C-E dictionary translation.

Based on a comparative study of the translation of this word in different Chinese-English dictionaries, it is found that the current C-E dictionary compilation fails to meet such requirements as scientific entry selection, accurate definition and sufficient examples etc.
