By far the largest and most up-to-date single-volume English-Chinese and Chinese-English dictionary available and endorsed by academics worldwide, the Oxford Chinese Dictionary has been designed both for English speakers learning Mandarin Chinese and Mandarin Chinese speakers learning English. It has been produced using the latest lexicographic methods and the unique dictionary resources of Oxford University Press in Oxford and Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press in Beijing, together with an international body of expert advisors.

The Oxford Chinese Dictionary contains over 300,000 words and phrases and 370,000 translations, including tens of thousands of example phrases illustrating key points of construction and usage. There are over 300 cultural notes giving essential information about many aspects of life and culture in the Chinese- and English-speaking worlds. Extensive supplementary material and over 50 pages of lexical and usage notes contain helpful extra information about Chinese and English.

The organization and layout have been designed for maximum clarity and accessibility. All Chinese headwords are given in Simplified Chinese characters, and headwords and compounds are shown with Pinyin transcriptions. All the English headwords are also shown with phonetics, so that the learner of English can pronounce each one correctly. 12 months’ access to Oxford’s online dictionary service – Oxford Language Dictionaries Online* – is included with this book. The site is regularly updated with the latest new words and meanings from Oxford’s language research programme, the Oxford Languages Tracker.

Industry Reviews

`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
